From Amazon: "What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century?"
This is the fourth of Malcolm Gladwell's books, and although they are on a variety of subjects, I've always enjoyed them. This is a collection of some of his shorter newspaper articles, so they are based on different things, including ketchup, the Pill, why pit bulls are banned.. to name a few. His writing style is captivating, if not slightly bizarre. I think there are enough topics covered in this book to make anyone happy!
I'd recommend it, as well as his other books: The Tipping Point, Outliers and Blink.
