Send us a textMuch of what we understand about global trends is filtered through the lens of the United States. What happens there often shapes thought, culture, and society worldwide. And when it comes to shaping thought, few have had the impact of my guest today: Malcolm Gladwell.  Gladwell, the bestselling author of *The Tipping Point*, *Blink*, and *Outliers* joins me to discuss his new book, *Revenge of the Tipping Point*. This latest work re-examines the ideas that made him famous—sometimes expanding on them, sometimes rejecting them outright.  We delve into the *Broken Windows* theory, one of the concepts at the heart of *The Tipping Point*. It famously inspired crime-prevention policies in New York City, but also led to the controversial practice of stop-and-frisk. Just last month, Gladwell publicly apologised for his role in promoting these ideas, and today, we unpack that apology and the lessons learned.  In *Revenge of the Tipping Point*, Gladwell takes a hard look at the dark undercurrents of societal change. It's a fascinating conversation about the power of ideas, their unintended consequences, and how they continue to shape the world. Let's go.ABOUT MALCOLM GLADWELLMalcolm Gladwell is the author of seven New York Times bestsellers: The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, David and Goliath, Talking to Strangers, and The Bomber Mafia. He is also the co-founder of Pushkin Industries, an audio content company that produces the podcasts Revisionist History, which reconsiders things both overlooked and misunderstood, and Broken Record, where he, Rick Rubin, and Bruce Headlam interview musicians across a wide range of genres. Gladwell has been included in the Time 100 Most Influential People list and touted as one of Foreign Policy's Top Global Thinkers. Previously, he was a staff writer for The New Yorker.

We have a legend on I'd Rather Be Reading today, friends. None other than Malcolm Gladwell is here to talk about his latest book, Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering, which is out October 1. Revenge of the Tipping Point comes nearly 25 years after Malcolm's 2000 book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, a bestseller that took his career to the next level and ushered in a new genre of books. Today on the show we talk to Malcolm about what made him want to return to the concept of The Tipping Point and if there was unfinished business there; what a tipping point is, exactly; and how, as he writes in Revenge of the Tipping Point, “the very same tools we use to build a better world can also be used against us.” As he puts it, Revenge of the Tipping Point is a study of the underside of possibilities he explored a quarter century ago. We talk about social engineering, social epidemics, monocultures, overstories, his process, and how we can use tools necessary to control an epidemic to build a better world. So much here, and I'm excited to dig into all of it with you listeners today. Malcolm Gladwell is someone I've mentioned on the show before — I've read all of his books, and I'm a big fan. He is a journalist, author, and public speaker who has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. In addition to publishing seven New York Times bestselling books (and I have no doubt his latest, his eighth, will become a bestseller, too), he is a podcaster — his show “Revisionist History” is a must-listen. His work is in the realm of sociology and psychology, social sciences, and after the success of The Tipping Point in 2000, books like Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, David and Goliath, Talking to Strangers, and The Bomber Mafia followed. His books are massive bestsellers, he's one of the forefront thinkers of our time, and has even been named one of TIME's 100 most influential people. Revenge of the Tipping Point marks Malcolm's eighth book, and I'm thrilled to chat with him about it today. I also want to throw this in here for good measure — he has a cat named Biggie Smalls, so that's absolutely amazing. Take a listen.   Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering by Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell is an outlier in his own right, as a journalist, author and public speaker. His unique perspective and engaging writing style have made him a prominent sociology and popular culture voice. He has five New York Times bestsellers — The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath. In addition to his best-selling books, Malcolm co-founded Pushkin Industries and hosted the hit podcast Revisionist History.  Malcolm shares his journey and offers many insights and lessons on what it takes to stand for and stand out in today's world.  I then bring back an interview with Alan Depencier, CMO from RBC, which is even more relevant today. Malcolm Gladwell is part of a series titled Legends Journey: Lessons in Leadership, which I am co-producing with the Toronto Chapter of the American Marketing Association. We celebrate the journeys of those who have been inducted into Canada's Marketing Hall of Legends. In my CTM library or the AMA's YouTube Channel, you can find our interviews with Joe Mimran, Angus Reid, Jeanne Beker, Miles Nadal, Arlene Dickinson, and Frank Palmer.                 

Today's episode follows an interesting literary path. The first stop in that path is a book written in 1974 by Robert Caro, called The Power Broker. It's one of the most brilliant biographies of all time. If you're looking for a magnificently researched, and totally gripping book on the life of one of the most influential men of the 20th century, then this the one. It's the story of Robert Moses.  That name may not mean much to a lot of people but in short, he's basically the man who built New York City from the 1930s to the 1960s. Through a finely tuned network of money and power that he put together, he was able to decide, pretty much single-handedly, what was built in New York: roads, parks, bridges, buildings. Robert Moses' ideas started spinning out of control and he developed visions of massive highways ploughing through New York and to do that, he was going to tear down vast neighbourhoods of the city.  The person who ignited the opposition to Robert Moses was a journalist and urban activist called Jane Jacobs. In 1961, she wrote a book called “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” in which she outlined a very different path for urban planning, one that was more focused on organic human interaction, based on historic urban traditions, as opposed to abstract planning based on data. I was curious to know how she and her book were perceived today in the urban planning community and how this book had aged. I was very lucky to connect with today's guest, Chuck Marohn who is the founder of Strong Towns, a movement based in Minnesota, dedicated to helping cities and towns in the United States achieve financial resiliency through civic engagement, and seeks to improve communities through urban planning concepts such as walkability, mixed-use zoning, and infill development. Strong Towns manages a blog and a podcast of the same name, hosted by Chuck. In today's episode, we discuss the influence of Jane Jacobs' book, the context that surrounded its publication and how the urban planning debate has evolved over time and what's at stake for cities today. The most brilliant book: Economy of Cities by Jane Jacobs (1969) His favorite book I've never heard of: The Lives of a Cell by Lewis Thomas (1974) The best book he's read in the last 12 months: “The One: How an Ancient Idea Holds the Future of Physics” by Henrich Päs (2023) The book he found disappointing in the last 12 months: “Doughnut Economics” by Kate Raworth (2017) The book that he would take to a desert island: The Bible The book that changed his mind: “What the Dog Saw”, by Malcolm Gladwell (2009) Links: Chuck's Book: https://amzn.eu/d/4tpGm1I Strong Towns Website: https://www.strongtowns.org/contributors-journal/charles-marohn Follow me ⁠⁠⁠@litwithcharles⁠⁠⁠ for more book reviews and recommendations!

Tonight's guest has been sensitive to paranormal things for almost as long as she can remember. Sometimes, when something paranormal is happening, it's easy to pretend that it's just your imagination. When you see movement out of the corner of your eye, where nothing should be moving, in most cases, it's easy to dismiss it as your mind playing tricks on you. What do you when your dog makes it clear that it sees something that shouldn't be there too. Tonight's guest experienced that and has had several other paranormal experiences. We hope you'll tune in and listen to her talk about them. If you've had a paranormal experience and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://www.MyParaEx.com and let us know.

Are they truly self-made or are they a product of their circumstances, families and external environment? Is success a product of innate talent, preparation, or opportunity? Or a blend of all the above?Malcolm Gladwell explores this and more in his book called Outliers. Through his life experiences, Gladwell discovered that successful people have a few commonalities.Outliers teaches us about the definition of success and how to become successful. It's a handbook for those hoping to succeed in life and work.If you're still wondering, “What is Outliers about?”, stay with us:About Malcolm GladwellMalcolm Gladwell is a Canadian journalist, author, and public speaker who has worked as a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996.

His mother was a Jamaican psychotherapist, and his father was a British math professor. He immigrated to Ontario, Canada at 6 and was a national track and field champion at the high school level. StoryShot #1: Success Isn't LinearSuccess doesn't come from one factor. There is a multitude of things that go into making someone successful. Grit and determination aren't the only factors to consider. Someone's environment or upbringing also doesn't predict success. There's no way for you to predict or guess what may make you successful. Several factors are working in harmony for someone to become successful.Success doesn't just hinge on having one thing that sets you apart from others. It's about having many things that set you apart...

Have you noticed those small things that get in your way daily? We all have those small bothers; those which we consider insignificant in retrospect but actively make us miserable the more we have to endure them. In this episode, I draw teachings from "The Almanack of Naval Ravinkant", by Eric Jorgenson, "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, and "What The Dog Saw" by Malcolm Gladwell to try to illustrate the dire importance of removing these small bites of misery and valuing the every-compounding effects that come after they're gone.

Malcolm Gladwell (@gladwell) has written multiple bestsellers that are probably on your shelf right now, including The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and Talking to Strangers. His latest book is The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War. What We Discuss with Malcolm Gladwell: Why you're probably worse at detecting when other people are lying to you than you think you are (but at least it's for a good reason). We judge people's honesty based on their demeanor, but not everyone's behavior matches what is expected of them -- which often leads to false impressions. Why do we trust some institutions and people in authority almost without question, and what happens when that trust is (or is perceived to be) violated? How does Malcolm decide what to explore and study for his next book or podcast, and what happens to the ideas that get discarded along the way? Why Malcolm finds storytelling that assembles an imperfect puzzle more satisfying than a flawless conclusion. And much more...

Longevity and mastery over any creative profession require relentless passion, conscious steps to continually reinvent your swing, and a seriousness of purpose, which results from profound self-reflection and introspection.  World-renowned journalist and writer Malcolm Gladwell joins me to dig deep into building an everlasting career as a creative and what it takes to pursue it.  Malcolm is the author of five New York Times bestsellers — The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants and the Founder of Pushkin Industries, which explore all forms of audio art.

We open season 4 with a discussion from January 2013 between one of America’s most admired authors, Malcolm Gladwell, and Abigail Pogrebin. Gladwell is the author of five New York Times bestsellers — The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath. He has been included in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list and touted as one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers. In this podcast, Gladwell discusses David and Goliath, and how he created such a singular journalistic niche.

Malcom Gladwell is a multi-time New York Times Bestselling Author. One of the best non-fiction storytellers and authors out there, his books have been cited thousands of times. In this episode, I explore the work of Gladwell in his books Blink and The Tipping Point.

Welcome to December. This is the last month in the current decade. Hard to believe that the 2010’s are almost over. Today is the book of the month episode. On the first day of each month we review the book of the month. In order to be considered for a book of the month the book has to meet a very simple criteria. It has to be impactful enough that it will change your life or your perspective on the world. Whether it does or not is entirely up to you. You might read the book and comment on what a great book it was. But if you don’t internalize the book and make a part of you, you’re missing the point. The author of this month’s book is none other than Malcolm Gladwell. He has written several other ground breaking books including Outliers, Blink, David and Goliath, The Tipping Point, and What the Dog Saw. Each of these books would have easily met the book of the month criteria. Malcolm Gladwell is also host of the Revisionist History Podcast in which he goes back through history and looks at something that happened and examines underneath the covers. At heart, Malcolm Gladwell is a journalist. He’s a Canadian from Toronto and currently lives in NYC where he writes for the New Yorker Magazine. Our book this month is called Talking with Strangers. Like his previous books, Gladwell takes real life stories and tries to dig beneath the covers to find insights, to find common threads of new learnings and to illuminate the blind spots that are hidden in plain sight. The premise of the book is that communication happens easily with people whom we are familiar with, whom we understand The authors examples are diverse. The book is framed around the story of a woman from Chicago who moved to a small town in West Texas to restart her life in a new setting. She had secured a new job, and on her first day in town was stopped by a police officer for a questionable traffic stop. The sequence of events that unfolded found this innocent woman being dragged from her car, handcuffed and brought into custody, and eventually dead three days later in a jail cell, never having committed a crime of any sort. The author looks at how we process communication. A case study of the TV sitcom “Friends” showed that viewers of the show were able to follow the story line of the show with the audio completely turned off simply by watching the body language and facial expressions of the actors on the show. The accuracy of the interpretation was incredibly high. It shows that many of us rely upon these cue far more than we know. But this is a TV show and the actors are paid to do a great job of acting. In the real world, a smile isn’t always a signal of happiness. There are those people who make up a small percentage of the population who have learned to disconnect their emotions from their body language. Some go on to become criminal masterminds like Bernie Madoff. Others go on to become championship poker players. It is full of case studies that individually can lead you astray. Taken together they reframe the way you will look at interactions. Malcolm Gladwell isn’t shy about confronting difficult topics. He chronicles the case study of the negotiations between Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of the UK and Adolf Hitler in 1938. Chamberlain’s negotiations with Hitler are widely regarded as one of the great follies of the second world war. Chamberlain fell under Hitler’s spell. He was outmaneuvered at the bargaining table. He misread Hitler’s intentions. In the book Gladwell argues that something is very wrong with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. The idea of the book of the month is to change your life or change the way you see the world. Talking with Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell will definitely deliver on both those promises.

And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In July 2015, a young black woman named Sandra Bland was pulled over for a minor traffic violation in rural Texas. Minutes later she was arrested and jailed. Three days later, she committed suicide in her cell. What went wrong? Talking to Strangers is all about what happens when we encounter people we don’t know, why it often goes awry, and what it says about us. How do we make sense of the unfamiliar? Why are we so bad at judging someone, reading a face, or detecting a lie? Why do we so often fail to ‘get’ other people? No one shows us who we are like Malcolm Gladwell. Here he sets out to understand why we act the way we do, and how we all might know a little more about those we don’t.

We can’t read others. We don’t have the right expectation or skills to do so. Even the people we expect (and hope) to be good at reading others aren’t good at all. People like police officers and those who have worked in police interrogations for many years and supposedly good at reading other people, turn out they can’t.  A study showed that Judges at bail hearings who see the accused person to decide if they can be trusted with bail or not, made very poor decisions about who should be sent back to jail or who should be released.  Interestingly AI and algorithms run over the same particular sample of accused were much more accurate at predictions who would reoffend when out on bail. So if the computer had run the algorithm over those people, there would have been fewer re-offenses for those who were out on bail than those decisions made by the judges.  We can’t read other people, we don’t know what they’re thinking, we don’t know what they’re going to do, and yet we make decisions based on this very bad information and assumptions.  The book did not mention anything about what to do about this mess, likely because we can’t do anything about it, because we’re humans. BIG IDEA 2 (7:59) – The default to truth. As humans we default to truth. Global markets, financial systems, political systems and everything else that humans rely on the modern age, and even in the pre-modern age, rely on this bias. We would not have gotten this far if we did not default to truth and give people the benefit of the doubt.  Even the people who met Hitler in the 1930s before World War II, trusted him. He was charming and made them believe that he has no bad intentions… later on this clearly didn’t turn out well.  Those politicians believed him, even though they were used to dealing with shifty political characters! It’s not only hard not to default to truth but it’s also hard to challenge it because we end questioning everything and everyone.  BIG IDEA 3 (10:21) – Humans are not see-through. Transparency was a big part of the book. The idea talks about how if someone does not meet our expectations, particularly how they behave in a certain situation, results in bad decisions.  The Amanda Knox case and trial is an example of this. She was an odd character and didn’t act the way people expected (or wanted) a grieving friend to act in the wake of Meredith’s death.  As a result she was found guilty for something she didn’t do, largely because people thought she was a bit weird. Later on it was found out that it was not true and a significant miscarriage of justice. This also happens when people did something really terrible but because they acted very well, in a way we would expect someone innocent to act, they are then seen to be innocent. Transparency works but only when people are act like in a sitcom… which they don’t. Which brings us back to idea number one, it’s a mess because we are humans and we can’t read other people but we make decisions based on this data.

Matt Talks: What The Dog Saw (Book -Gladwell) 12 Rules For Life (Book -Peterson) by Matthew Squaire

About the Author Malcolm Gladwell is the author of five New York Times bestsellers–The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath.  He is also the co-founder of Pushkin Industries, an audio content company that produces the podcasts Revisionist History, which reconsiders things both overlooked and misunderstood, and Broken Record, where he, Rick Rubin, and Bruce Headlam interview musicians across a wide range of genres.

Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work–in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? Blink reveals that great decision makers aren’t those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of “thin-slicing”–filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables. Source: https://www.gladwellbooks.com/titles/malcolm-gladwell/blink/9780316172325/ I read a quote from Malcolm on why he wrote Blink, he said; “to demonstrate that decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as decisions made cautiously and deliberately; to help decide when we should and shouldn’t trust our instincts; and to show that snap judgments and first impressions can be educated and controlled.” Links Check out Malcolm’s Revisionist History podcast – http://revisionisthistory.com/ If you liked this episode, you might also enjoy the summary of Outliers, also by Malcolm Gladwell   BIG IDEA 1 (4:28) – Find the right thin slice of information This is about pattern recognition “the ability of our unconscious to find patterns in situations and behavior based on very narrow slices of experience”. What are those important bits of information and what can be ignored? Thin slicing is a key principle in the book and is the reason why some people make good ‘split’ decisions – a lot of this is down to the fact that they’re picking the right ‘slice’ of information to assess – just the important bits. This was brought to life in the work of John Gottman in analysing married couples to assess if they would stay together or get divorced.  There were certain ‘thin slices’ (such as contempt and a ratio of less than 5:1 positive:negative interactions) which were sure signs of relationship failure. Other studies such as one where strangers had to analyse the personality of someone by looking in their dorm room, and a study on doctors’ tone of voice with a patient as an indicator of whether they would get sued, were other examples of the power of the right ‘slice’ of information as predictors. BIG IDEA 2 (8:43) – The dark side of blinking. When we pick the wrong piece of information to thin slice, we can end up making horrible decisions. A great example in the book was a Warren Harding, who essentially became President because he ‘looked’ like a great president. However, he turned out to be one of the worst Presidents that America has ever had. A great quote from the book is “mediocre people find their way into positions of authority because when it comes to the most important positions, our selection decisions a less rational than we think.” This still happens today – in the top 500 CEOs, almost 33% of them are over 6ft 2in.  However, in the general male US population, only 3.9% of men are over 6ft 2in. This is a perfect example of how we look for appealing visible traits in people as a ‘thin slice’ of information to make unrelated decisions and judgements on. BIG IDEA 3 (11:49) – Listen with your ears not with your eyes. In the past, classical orchestras were sexist and believed you could only play a certain instrument if you were male and white. After a lot of protest, the orchestras changed the audition process to put screens up, so the judges couldn’t see the performer, and performers were given numbers rather than names. As a result, female participation in US orchestras increased five fold. Which means that when people listen with their ears rather than eyes, they bring the right people for the job based on their skills. It begs the question, in your personal or career, what are you doing or participating in that’s biased? Where are you thin slicing the wrong information? What assumptions are you holding on to which might not be the best predictors of the outcome you need? Music By: The Future Is Now – Instrumental Version Song by MARLOE.

Why the information we gather from face-to-face human interaction isn't as uniquely valuable as we think it is. Why television makes us worse at reading other people.

"Because I was a very good high school runner, I had it in my head that running was pointless unless you were really good and that it wouldn't be fun if you were mediocre. And then, now that I'm a mediocre runner, I realize that being a mediocre runner is even more fun. In fact, I think I would rather be a mediocre runner than a good one at this point...because then you can just enjoy it for what it is. You don't have any expectation of winning everything. That was this epiphany that happened to me at the grand old age of 50. Actually it's fine that I can just join a group of people and we'll run nice times – not amazing times. I'm never going to win another race for as long as I live but it's better to do that." Our guest this week is Malcolm Gladwell who almost needs no introduction but for those of you who are unfamiliar. He is the best-selling author of "Outliers", "Tipping Point", "David and Goliath", "What the Dog Saw" and "Blink". You might also know his work from articles in The New Yorker or as the host of Revisionist History – the popular podcast where he delves into events, people, ideas and many things that are often overlooked and misunderstood. We take a dive into his running roots and how he ended up running with the New York Harriers. We get to hear a few funny stories about getting lost on the run in Tennessee, his goals for running as a masters athlete, why it’s nicer to be a mediocre runner and his searing hot take on America’s untapped resources for distance running. Please standby as Chris and Malcolm geek out about professional running for a few minutes as well. ---------- Runners of NYC is brought to you by CUSTOM PERFORMANCE – They are the best running and sports physical therapy center in New York City with physical therapists that specialize in orthopedic injury treatments and running injury treatments.

Welcome and thank you for listening.  We all realize that exercise is good for you.  Last week I discussed how it could add years onto your life.  I discuss a study on this episode how exercise might help prevent colon and lung cancer.  Exercise, is a lot like everything in life.  You get out of it what you put into it.  Why can't people stay on the exercise or the plant strong wagon?  Is it your spouse's fault, your kids, your boss? I have been reading two books that have given me some insight into the problem.  The first is What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell and the second is 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson.  What the Dog Saw is a collection of pieces that Malcolm wrote that shows things are often not as they seem.  We use the Bell Curve to describe a lot of phenomena and then focus interventions aimed at the large portion in the center.  Sometimes focusing on the ends is actually more important and rewarding.  We use plant based nutrition to reverse lifestyle diseases.  It works wonderful if you can do it and a lot of people realize it but cannot stay on track.  Perhaps those people need to look elsewhere and perhaps inward.  Are you worthy of good health?  Would you neglect other's health like you neglect yours?  When a parent is in the hospital, the adult children are on their parents to take better care of themselves.  Take their medicine and watch their diets.  But do they? Dr. Peterson suggests that perhaps they do not find themselves worthy of attention to their health details.   This may allow people to go as far as extreme eating.  These high fat, salt, calorie meals were described in a NY Times article.  You might be surprised just how bad some of those more expensive sit down chains are with regard to nutrition.  Just because it costs more does not mean it is healthy. I hope you enjoy my rants.  Please visit the website at doctordulaney.com and email me at jami@doctordulaney.com

Malcolm Gladwell (@gladwell) is the author of five New York Times bestsellers -- The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath. He has been named one of the 100 most influential people by TIME magazine and one of the Foreign Policy's Top Global Thinkers.

What does MALCOLM GLADWELL, the brilliant writer and thinker have to say about the financial markets? Nothing… but this ASTOUNDING observation from him has everything – and I mean EVERYTHING – to do with success in what could be a turbulent market. I’m Bryan Ellis. This is Episode 177.-----Hello, SDI Nation. Welcome to the podcast of record for savvy self-directed investors like you!It’s said if we don’t learn the lessons of history, we’re doomed to repeat them. Here’s a quick lesson NOT about investing… and completely about it all at the same time:“In the fall of 1973, the Syrian army began to gather a large number of tanks, artillery batteries, and infantry along its border with Israel. Simultaneously, to the south, the Egyptian army canceled all leaves, called up thousands of reservists, and launched a massive military exercise, building roads and preparing anti-aircraft and artillery positions along the Suez Canal. On October 4, an Israeli aerial reconnaissance mission showed that the Egyptians had moved artillery into offensive positions. That evening, Aman, the Israeli military intelligence agency, learned that portions of the Soviet fleet near Port Said and Alexandria had set sail, and that the Soviet government had begun airlifting the families of Soviet advisers out of Cairo and Damascus. Then, at four o’clock in the morning on October 6, Israel’s director of military intelligence received an urgent telephone call from one of the country’s most trusted intelligence sources. Egypt and Syria, the source said, would attack later that day. Top Israeli officials immediately called a meeting. Was war imminent? The head of Aman, Major General Eli Zeira, looked over the evidence and said he didn’t think so. He was wrong. That afternoon, Syria attacked from the east, overwhelming the thin Israeli defenses in the Golan Heights, and Egypt attacked from the south, bombing Israeli positions and sending either thousand infantry streaming across the Suez. Despite all the warnings of the previous weeks, Israeli officials were caught by surprise. Why couldn’t they connect the dots?”Those words come from the venerable Malcolm Gladwell – one of the most brilliant minds of our age – in his book called “What the Dog Saw”.So Major General Eli Zeira had absolutely every reason in the world to think that Israel WOULD be attacked by Syria and Egypt. Literally every single piece of evidence suggested that the attack was imminent and that Syria and Egypt were very serious. And let’s face it: Israeli intelligence has the reputation of being, shall we say, rather effective. But in this case – despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary – Israel chose NOT to set up defensive positions in response to enemy movements, and the tiny Middle Eastern country suffered mightily for it.Why? Why did Major General Zeira make such a clearly WRONG decision in the face of overwhelming evidence to go the other way?Consider this: Do you know anyone who was hurt by the mortgage meltdown of ’07 and ’08? Maybe even you, yourself, took some serious shrapnel from that one.But have you noticed that… even though the financial carnage from that event was very, very widespread, affecting investors and the general public alike… almost nobody seemed to see it coming at the time… yet now, if you ask nearly anybody, they’ll tell you, almost derisively, that anyone with a brain could have predicted it?Yet… almost nobody did predict what happened. The few who did became billionaires.What we all recognized at the time was that something was wrong… something fundamental was not right… something that could be damaging to us all was happening. And yet… almost nobody had the good sense to get out of the real estate market or even better yet, figure out a way to bet AGAINST it.Does that make you and me foolish? I don’t think so.In fact, you may be tempted to think that Israel’s Major General Zeira was just careless or even foolish. But there’s far more to the story. At the time, it was a rather common occurrence for Egyptians to mobilize for war… it was common for tanks and war supplies to be sent to the canal and for fortifications to be built. The president of Egypt made multiple public statements in years preceding this attack that war was imminent… and yet, it never happened.Egypt mobilized a whopping NINETEEN TIMES between January and October of ’73… and in not a single one of those cases did war commence.Furthermore, the trusted intelligence source who warned Israel the day of the attack… well, that person had recently given two completely wrong promptings.Given the extreme cost and difficulty of mobilizing for war, Israel – which is a tiny country with a citizen army – couldn’t afford to mobilize at every threat. The threat in early October of ’73 seemed to Major General Zeira a serious threat, to be sure… but a threat to be defended against on another day.How does this relate to investing? It’s a rather apt comparison, my friends. As manager of a private equity firm that buys real estate in some markets that have a volatile history – can anybody say NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – I think about this type of thing every single day. I think about the reports that venture capital is not flowing as freely into silicon valley, and I know that could be a problem since the entirety of northern California is just it’s own little universe that rises and falls largely on the strength of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. I know that my target markets have a history of extreme volatility… on the upside and the downside. I know that the economy at large is NOT as strong as the press is leading us to believe.I also know that there are some substantial and profoundly negative factors that are not in play right now like they were in 2007 and 2008, and that’s a very good thing. I also know that most – not all, but most of the time – real estate markets follow a pattern when they’re beginning to reverse in a huge way, and that pattern isn’t in clear evidence presently, and isn’t in evidence at all in some very large markets.What do you believe? For me… and for my clients… I’ve responded by tightening our buying criteria. We’re going a bit more towards the “no deal is better than a marginal deal” approach. And in truth… this will likely cause me to miss some… but not most… opportunities. On this very day, actually, I’m tasked with making an allocation to my buyers for an auction that happens tomorrow, December 30… and there are a LOT of great opportunities. Still, we’re going to be conservative in our allocations because, at the end of the day, I don’t want to have missed the signs of impending meltdown.Right now, those signs aren’t in evidence. But there are winds blowing in that direction. Times like these usually presage a shift in markets, but whether that shift is an outright reversal or merely a temporary plateau… the reality is this: There is STILL opportunity… and a lot of it… to be had right now… and I believe for the near future as well.That’s why we’re hoping to buy several houses this week alone… and really get next year started off right for my private equity clients. We got one late last week where we’re expecting a net ROI in the neighborhood of 23-25% within 120 days… and both history and current market conditions support that projection, so it’s very exciting.My friends, tomorrow I tell you about what happens to SDIRadio in the New Year… and I think you’re going to love it… because you’ve been ASKING FOR IT.

Her face showed apprehension and a bit of weariness. My class sizes would be pushed to a staggering 37 students! "We don't have enough students to run separate classes, so they will be mixed, but about 10 percent are repeating the class." Having the tools required for differentiated instruction is one thing, but here I was faced with the task of truly implementing it. More than that, I would need to adjust differentiation to my teaching style, a diverse group of students, and a bulging class size. I quickly realized that manageability would be just as important as the instruction itself. http://www.ascd.org/ascd-express/vol6/620-laurance.aspx Web Spotlight: What Does Successful Project Based Learning Looks Like? by Bob Lenz Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching approach, a mindset, and a framework for teaching skills and content.
