Malcolm Gladwell Explains Where His Ideas Come From | The New Yorker

[@northoftheequator2094]

Wonderful conversation. Gladwell is such a thoughtful and interesting person.

[@TheWchurchill4pm]

I read “Talking to Strangers.” He can bring so much information together to present a clear picture.

[@greggoreo6738]

Yup. The nerd kid in college who tutors the jock in Algebra. He's the Dr. David Viscott, M.D., Ph. D., who helps heal the world. Maybe Malcolm is the antidote to the mind-set of the U. S. Capitol insurrectionists. Too bad, there's one former president who doesn't read. Maybe, Gladwell is the re born Socrates. Heaven has sent us a gift, A need, another Dr. David Viscott, M. D., Ph. D. One can only hope. Stay Calm and 'Gladwell' on. Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca

15:45 " I can't give up on that guy" good.

[@dannypockets]

Why wouldn't the whole interview be made available? There are numerous moments when you expect Gladwell to elaborate on a comment (which I expect exists on tape somewhere), but then the video cuts to Remnick's next question.

[@NathanKontny]

Exactly. And there's got to be a host of recorded content with Gladwell the New Yorker could put on this channel. Here's a big thumbs up for more :)

[@minecraftitup]

Oh my. Wasn't aware Gladwell was working on an upcoming book--can't be more excited! Gonna re-read Blink now just to prepare for it.

[@AineSherman]

Excellent. Great interview. Love this. Great to hear his thought process. Ugh. Let’s spend the day together in the library. Beautiful mind.

[@TexasWreckShop]

My God! That Riot Theory absolutely blew my mind. Can't wait to think about that when I have some downtime

[@joaofleumatico]

i kindle giggle when i hear the word 'epidemic' in a pre 2020 video

[@Adriana-sr8ot]

Looking forward to next book.

[@victorgodspower3150]

I really love what you do, I take you as a mentor sir Malcolm

[@Tubingonline1]

A real journalist, a thinking journalist!

[@Brian_yeah_that_brian_Strang]

The great explainer. I love listening to this man

[@damilarearah]

Malcolm is so self centred in the most fascinating way

[@willaimmaxwell5069]

Listen not for what to think but how to think - then think! Viva Malcolm!

[@meks90]

I am a paparazzi for Malcolm Gladwell.

[@anishkuruvilla]

Mr Remnick is a brilliant interviewer.

[@GreenOrchid9]

Malcolm Gladwell 🕯🦄🦁outlier

[@Meat_Season23]

The greatest story teller ever

[@Shub99]

Agree on Malcolm's readership/ listenership is bang on as far as I'm concerned ... I'm one 😎

[@kcottonable]

Shub99 how were you introduced to him? I was on a online dating site, where I Prospect mention him!

[@Shub99]

kcottonable I read his book Tipping Point and some more of his articles,

[@dubs31]

New Book. Check. Season three of RH. Check. So much to look forward to! Thanks, Mr. Gladwell (and Mr. Remnick for the interview).

[@JoseCouto1234]

Great.

[@Bionik1980]

Malcom, we need Revisionist History back

[@phototristan]

It is back.

[@kcottonable]

Bionik1980 what's revisionist history?

[@mayeromri]

best podcast in the world, you should check it out

[@pattyayers]

Still there.. I keep trying to like it

[@elizabetha8565]

That head nod says "yes I have dealt with being around you that long".

[@stigmatamartyr4223]

I love how he always wears his running shoes. ❤

[@TheWchurchill4pm]

Gladwell: “I’m much more comfortable in the library than I am interviewing someone face-to-face.” Me: “Did we just become best friends?”

[@shore51]

I became familiar with Malcolm via Podcast about 2 years ago. I’m 64

[@JameBlack]

You're 66 now

[@maximilianshakal7936]

All Gladwell's answers are cut short!

[@dustyutubeify]

Now I feel so average. I read his books and listen to his podcasts and I am 45 with 3 kids. I am a woman tho so maybe that makes me special. Seriously, I love the alternate perspectives he offers and the new things he helps us learn. And the Elvis song is "Are you Lonesome Tonight?" .... really good podcast, just listened to it today while cleaning out my bedroom.

[@georgepirpiris7309]

Turns out he is being paid by big pharma. He is a phony. But hey Americans also think Dr Oz and Dr Phil will make them healthy.

[@georgepirpiris7309]

He also wants you and your kids to smoke. Read about it shameproject.com/profile/malcolm-gladwell-2/

[@corvus00]

Holy crap! I am exactly the typical Gladwell consumer as he described.

[@GPflashclass]

*Gladwell insults book reviewers* "Malcolm thanks so much. It's wonderful to see you. Pleasure..."

[@copperthomas9093]

Just for the record: I am a 68 year old female who cannot get enough Gladwell. How is that for Outliers!

[@mthwvr]

I love what you say about the suicide of the literary world. I for one had to stop being so critical, do a lot of self development, & yoga when I finished college (with a Language and Lit degree).

[@gracewilson5524]

yes! i went into my english degree thinking maybe i'd like to do some writing some day and came out not being able to write anything without immediately unconsciously viciously criticizing it, as i've been trained to do in academia

[@linds8444]

I now know EXACTLY why I live his books. I have always been so curious about why people behave the way they do and unconcerned with the sensational, seemingly pointless aspect of it that is so prevalent

[@seanwebb605]

I studied print journalism for two years and found it to be miserable. It took me years to realize that I was an essayist. All through middle school and high school I had been writing essays and book reports or giving oral presentations. Getting quotes at a press conference and writing a piece for the same day killed me. How do I write something and put my name on it before I understand the subject? It takes me weeks to really figure out what is important about the story.

[@greggoreo6738]

I hear you Mr. Webb! Don't despair. Mark Twain was a journalist. Then. He became Samuel Langhorne Clemens...an essayist and Oxford University gave him an honorary doctorate. Ergo, Sean, prepare your acceptance speech for some graduation ceremonies.. stay optimistic and carry on!!! Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca

[@moester75]

The New Yorker section of Apple News on your iPhone has a very compelling podcast today. The topic of the podcast is “American’s that disappeared on their way traveling to Europe”. You people with the means to travel to Europe should listen to that podcast imho. Just trying to help fellow Americans.

[@FirstLast-nk3lm]

His books are good.

[@howardkoor2796]

What a mind on that boy!

[@seanwebb605]

There is an expectation of a podcast. It's a produced radio program!

[@OscarNevarezInsane]

I like this kind of interview where you can have a glance at how the author's thinking. At 10:00 Malcolm describes his last book as "it's about dealing with the strangers" which tells us a lot more than the actual title _Talking with strangers_ once you read it.

[@hawleyrigsby3123]

I feel like such an early-40’s male manager/engineer...

[@AK-nz8vu]

Aren't we all, Hawley? Aren't we all…

[@kirisumasu709]

yeah I was thinking the same thing. I'm a 34 year old female psychotherapist. eeekk lol

[@bismaali8043]

Great interview - but is it just me or is it unsettling a bit that Malcolm missed the opportunity to look into the Central Park jogger's accused suspects. I wonder how the course of those lives would have been different had he spent the opportunity to look into them.

[@madisonestes6124]

The article was due a couple days after the jogger was attacked. They probably didn't have any suspects yet. Police probably wouldn't have talked to him about even if they did because that makes it harder to investigate if the suspects are reported and know police are onto them. They are more likely to flee.

[@marilynzeigler3742]

Author Malcolm Gladwell is Governor double

[@brainsareus]

I 1,000% agree with Malcolm; the literary world, is rife, with intellectual; and, pseudo-intellectual trolls.

[@justinwbohner]

It's always a good strategy to accuse other people of what you are doing. This deflects attention better than anything else.

[@johnwesson9098]

Don't stop writing. Many still find time to read !

[@sayyidadnan6007]

without spectacle

[@davidkreutzkamp6602]

Way too short. Felt like the topics raised are half explored

[@johnlemay5501]

David Kreutzkamp it’s like a mirror of bystander apathy/effect

[@elizaheathen]

yeah...not loving how overly edited this was

[@seanwebb605]

Three books a year? I'm upset with myself because in better times I'll read two books a week. I have only read four in the last few weeks.

[@fredrikpearson5795]

Adam Eget can finally get some answers

[@hayesdabney]

His riot explanation is so January 6, 2021, with Trump being the first to throw the rock.

[@marshacreary2442]

:49-2:15 So the nature of the articles never required a depth of understanding about the person being interviewed? Why was he content injecting his opinions and presumptions rather than actually delving into what the story was? Did that method cause long and short term issues with the subjects? In what ways? Its interesting that most of what he describes has to do with ruminations rather than facts and in depth investigation

[@willcormier8485]

Some nerve to steal Adam Eget's patented question.

[@sandymoonstone855]

🍎 🎤👌

[@beritbranch4949]

We won't see Paulie roun here no more

[@marshacreary2442]

Articles that rely heavily on 'revisionist history' create skewed perceptions and inflated ideas which have real consequences. How does or did he deal with the ramifications of those types of articles?

[@seanwebb605]

Books don't last forever. Most won't survive 100 years. We mock the language and ideas of most books written less than 50 years ago. There are expectations of podcasts now. It's sad that he is producing one without understanding the expectations.

[@charlessmyth]

Nice armchairs. Where can they be got ? :-)

[@warmflash]

Charles Smyth I agree • I wonder where they are available • The audio is exceptionally fine too • I adore MG’s podcast too

[@marshacreary2442]

I bet this 'revisionist history' created magazine 'issues' that people subscribed to

[@trinityk544]

Malcolm’s 10,000hr rule is fake. He misused info to make points

[@seekeroftruth1200]

I thought the 10K hr rule was a broad generalization. Someone with natural talent may need only 6K hr to develop that talent.

[@patmebg3794]

It's not his rule sweetheart, he referenced Psychologists and gave examples, one of which said so himself. Besides he is not the only nonfiction author to use the 10,000 rule to substantiate his arguments.
