Inspiring Read

I've heard Malcolm Gladwell speak in person and this book reads just as if he is talking to you. He easily explains how speaking to the RIGHT person can have a bigger impact than speaking to a large number of people. In some situations it is understanding that the simplest of changes are the tip of an iceberg and result in a social epidemic of change. We don't necessarily need the big marketing campaign or the most expensive change management consultant...maybe we just need to be more observant of what is happening around us.

I was in grade school when the events of Columbine happened. There was no way to escape the horrendous details that happened at Columbine. I still have snapshot memories associated with the news reports. The events at Columbine have always made me queasy but I have always wanted to learn more.

This book was horrifying but beautifully researched. I have to admit, I've owned this book for many years and I finally sat down and read/listened to it. Honestly, this was one of the hardest books I have ever listened to.

I would recommend this book to many people. It's a fascinating read for any fan of true crime, criminology, social psychology, and general sociology.
