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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

A real journalist, a thinking journalist!

The great explainer. I love listening to this man

Looking forward to next book.

Malcolm is so self centred in the most fascinating way

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

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

The greatest story teller ever

I am a paparazzi for Malcolm Gladwell.

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

Mr Remnick is a brilliant interviewer.

Malcolm Gladwell 🕯🦄🦁outlier

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

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

All Gladwell's answers are cut short!

Great.

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

I love how he always wears his running shoes. ❤

Malcom, we need Revisionist History back

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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).

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

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.

What a mind on that boy!

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

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.

His books are good.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Author Malcolm Gladwell is Governor double

without spectacle

yeah...not loving how overly edited this was

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

Adam Eget can finally get some answers

: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

Some nerve to steal Adam Eget's patented question.

🍎 🎤👌

We won't see Paulie roun here no more

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?

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

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.

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

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