Easy – I would say that Malcolm Gladwell used a fantastic story to remind us of the importance of humility, and to tell us how dangerous success can be in making us over-confident.

I loved the way he involved psychological research and history.

I did enjoy it but can perfectly see where you’re coming from…

In one sentence I spose his point was ‘The more you think you know doesn’t make better at making decisions’

Not that complicated but tied it around a couple of nice stories and did pretty good job of keeping most of a room interested.

What do you think Malcolm Gladwell actually said? How would you summarize his talk in a sentence?

I was v disappointed with the talk & have just written my own post about it.

I saw him too – he really is a great story teller. If he gets stick for not being original, then it’s unfounded; he doesn’t seem to present himself as an original thinker – just a man who distils information into ideas.
