More quotes by Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell
When we become expert in something, our tastes grow more esoteric and complex.
Malcolm Gladwell
A book, I was taught long ago in English class, is a living and breathing document that grows richer with each new reading.
Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell
I've always been baffled by how much we over-rate the statistically insignificant differences that separate competitors at the top end of the distribution.
Malcolm Gladwell
We need to look at the subtle, the hidden, and the unspoken.

To become a chess grandmaster also seems to take about ten years. (Only the legendary Bobby Fisher got to that elite level in less than that amount of time: it took him nine years.) And what's ten years? Well, it's roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.
Malcolm Gladwell
The key to good decision making is not knowledge... It's whether our work fulfills us.
Malcolm Gladwell
There’s this powerful phrase in the legal world, “Difficult cases make bad law.” The exception is the difficult case. You can’t generalize them by definition. So although they are fascinating, they don’t solve any problem because they’re so one of a kind.
Malcolm Gladwell
In the act of tearing something apart, you lose its meaning.
Malcolm Gladwell
Poverty is not deprivation, it is isolation.
Malcolm Gladwell
Consistency is the most overrated of all human virtues... I'm someone who changes his mind all the time.
