SYLLABUST Episode 1.0: The Tipping Point

It’s Malcolm Gladwell Week!

We’re kicking off our first full episode with Malcolm Gladwell’s first book, THE TIPPING POINT. Originally published in 2000, we’re digging into some of the historical, social and economic developments at the time it was written (hello Y2k); exploring what’s still relevant in 2021; and what we really need to leave at the turn of the millennium.

Up next, in Episode 2.0, we get real with GRIT: THE POWER OF PASSION AND PERSEVERANCE by Angela Duckworth. See you then!
