- The central role that three personality types--that I call Connectors, Mavens, and Salesmen-- play in social epidemics. In this excerpt, Gladwell describes a simple test that anyone can take to tell whether they fall into the first of those categories, the Connector.
- Description of the part of the brain that runs our rapid decision-making system.
- Malcolm Gladwell - Blink - full show
- "No one who can rise before dawn three hundred and sixty days a year fails to make his family rich."
