I've been a fan of Malcolm Gladwell, ever since I read
The Tipping Point
. He has an incredible writing talent, that grabs you from the first page. He writes about why we are the way we are and why things are the way they are; and why things we believe are true are actually myths.
His latest book,
What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures
, has over 20 different real life stories that will keep you captivated. Who would have thought that I would have found a chapter about hair dye or a chapter about ketchup interesting.
My favorite chapters were the ones on
Nassim Taleb's Investment Strategy and Enron. I may not agree with 100% of what he says, but the 98% that I do agree with is excellent.
By the way, the name of the book? I'm not going to tell you. You will just have to read Chapter 7 (which is another one of my favorite chapters).
What the Dog Saw
is a book that I highly recommend. The book is also available in Spanish as
Lo que vio el perro / What the Dog Saw (Spanish Edition)
and as an audio book on CD as
What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures [AUDIOBOOK] [UNABRIDGED] (Audio CD)
. (I have become a great fan of audio books, putting my driving time to good use as an alternative to talking on the phone.)
