Lorsqu'on rencontre quelqu'un pour la première fois, on s'en fait souvent une fausse idée. En projetant nos goûts, nos codes, nos espoirs sur l'Autre, nous le déformons quasiment systématiquement. De Hitler qui fait une excellente première impression à Chamberlain, à tout un groupe d'agents de la CIA devenus agents doubles pour Cuba sans éveiller le moindre soupçon, en passant par Amanda Knox que le monde entier juge coupable de meurtre, Malcolm Gladwell décortique dans "Quiproquos" un éventail d'exemples sur la difficulté que nous avons à nous décrypter entre humains.

The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed best seller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a pebble and a sling - and ever since, the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants.

Antes da Segunda Guerra Mundial, muitos militares não acreditavam que o avião pudesse mudar os rumos de um conflito. Mas uma turma de aviadores idealistas, a Máfia dos Bombardeiros, levantou a questão: “E se o bombardeio de precisão destruísse pontos vitais na posição do inimigo e ainda tornasse a guerra menos letal?” Quando essa nova crença no poder aéreo é posta à prova, os resultados são muito diferentes do esperado.
