On a lighter note, if you like Gladwell (and have some interest in understanding and learning about addiction, then you’ll love Dr. gabor Mate – in the realm of hungry ghosts. etc. I consider mate the next Freud of child psychology and understanding ALL human behavior.

@ZachClooney Nietzsche will make an interesting read. Trying to will your power over others using their sexuality and/or relationship status over them is horrendous. You probably draw out their insecurities and make them feel bad about themselves. Perhaps you feel insecure alone. Stop imposing your insecurities on others. The unexamined life is not worth living- Socrates

@ZachClooney Sexuality is irrelevant. You want these “icons” to be fully human, as you define it. Fully human= a relationship between a man and a woman near the same age. If he doesn’t meet those standards, his ideas become irrelevant, is what you’re saying. Does he come off as a pedophile to you?

What is so awkwardly disturbing are the the comments that come from the mouths of people who clearly are missing a brain stem. This man just gave an incredible speech and all that some of you are concerned about is what is does with his penis. This author, public speaker and humanitarian has done more for people than most of us. Go back and watch another episode of Family Guy and Sponge Bob. This content is clearly too much for you!

@ Taobert sexuality d' a celebrity who imports. One can say many things on a person by the way in which it chooses to spend its nights in its bed?
It is naieve to think that sexuality d' a celebrity n' is not relevant. We want that these icons to be fully human. We thus need to know which is Malcolm " aimer"!

@ ZachClooney and I do not see the relevance of its Sexualis?. the Sexual? is just a way for groups of int? r? t dismiss this as something to say. It would not be any question of her? It. I notice a trend, but with? Canadian writers. Dern? Rately, have seen some id? Es tr? S powerful this r? Region. I think Gabor Mate. . . What a great read

@ Taobert great writer. Is-Gladwell gay? Us n' ever heard of its relations with the women. How to come? He is a celebrity. I am surprised that the media n' did not approach its private life.

Gladwell to re-examine l' old “nature vs to feed the debate, and upright, strongly for the seconds. And well done (although the refutation deserves a certain time thus). To take socialism with capitalism vs However, we will admit l' effect from its point of view which the models of prediction have wrong. They s' ** IQ wait to predict the success, but it does not function. In the free competition, which really imports is manifest. ** Socialism requires the forecast centralized, and thus to be more restrictive and more incorrect.

Great video and thanks for the show.

@ Qu' will potterzebra; do you want to say capitalism is a disadvantage for all? C' is certainly the best option on Communism. The world GDP is in increase all times. if people in the highest levels s' enrich at faster intervals, the lower classes are always, on average, thus knows a better quality of life against 50,500,5000, or it does not matter years.

I love most of what he is saying, but I do think he overlooks the significance and importance of people’s outlooks and the way they interpret the world. How that influences success. (hm, maybe it’s all biochemical and out of our control, but I don’t really think so. ) I do believe people can create luck to some extent, though, yeah. The power of situation is profoundly powerful.

this guy is correct! I have been playing the cello for 10 years. I was unbeatable in my 8th grade orchestra, first chair every time. . When I got to high school and started playing soccer on the team and working part time. . I wasn’t as excellent as I was when I was kid.
What he is saying is a no brainer once you really think about it.

@ ELHIEGER1Le capitalism is an advantage for some, that turned out? Re? To be one? Savantage for all (which explains why the r? Publicans have muted their opposition? R? Form of Wall Street). Gladwell shows? the? obviousness: all large systems? my man’s social structure itself? the benefit of certain individuals and groups over others. For d? Decades, athletes are? Your from? Lite Russia Favorites? S to produce world-class competitors. m? socialist doctors, musicians and athletes are? your wrong? 10.00 hours for r? Ussir. . . ridiculous

Quite known as. Thank you, Mister Gladwell.
September 17th, 2010 - 04:35
