More quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
I've been in auditions without screens, and I can assure you that I was prejudiced. I began to listen with my eyes, and there is no way that your eyes don't affect your judgement. The only true way to listen is with your ears and your heart. (p.251)
Malcolm Gladwell
I'm a purist: I start to wrinkle my nose when the Cold War ends.
Malcolm Gladwell
Bad improvisers block action, often with a high degree of skill. Good improvisers develop action.
Malcolm Gladwell
Acquaintances represent a source of social power, and the more acquaintances you have the more powerful you are.
Malcolm Gladwell
What we do as a community, as a society, for each other, matters as much as what we do for ourselves. It sounds a little trite, but there's a powerful amount of truth in that, I think.
Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell
If we think about emotion this way - as outside-in, not inside out - it is possible to understand how some people can have an enormous amount of influence over others. Some of us, after all, are very good at expressiing emotions and feelings, which means that we are far more emotionally contagious than the rest of us.
Malcolm Gladwell
The nature of athletic celebrity is increasingly moving away from the actual field of play.
Malcolm Gladwell
Our world requires that decisions be sourced and footnoted, and if we say how we feel, we must also be prepared to elaborate on why we feel that way...We need to respect the fact that it is possible to know without knowing why we know and accept that - sometimes - we're better off that way.
Malcolm Gladwell
Our unconscious is really good at quick decision-making - it often delivers a better answer than more deliberate and exhaustive ways of thinking.
Malcolm Gladwell
If you don't contradict yourself on a regular basis, then you're not thinking.
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
You need to have the ability to gracefully navigate the world.
Malcolm Gladwell
When writing, you can't break physical rules. You can't have people come back from the dead. That's cheating. I am a kind of narrative fundamentalist in many ways.
Malcolm Gladwell
When we become expert in something, our tastes grow more esoteric and complex.
Malcolm Gladwell
People are experience-rich and theory-poor.
Malcolm Gladwell
I worry that track is going to enter into an impossibly complicated stage, where our understanding of the complexities of human physiology - and our ability to accentuate and exploit them - is going to make the notion of pure competition impossible.
