Malcolm Gladwell: geek rock star
Malcolm Gladwell's collection of essays
Malcolm Gladwell is a journalist, pop sociologist, and author whose writing radically challenges the way we understand ourselves and the world. His best-selling books The Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers, explore obscure yet fascinating questions like “what’s the difference between choking and panicking” and “what does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century?” Gladwell joins Larry to discuss his new book, What the Dog Saw, which bundles together his favorite articles from his days at The New Yorker.
Guest:
Malcolm Gladwell, author of "What the Dog Saw" (Little, Brown). Gladwell is a staff writer for The New Yorker and was formerly a business and science reporter for the Washington Post.
