Some things like broken glass theory cause problems but overall a fascinating book
A very interesting read covering topics that affect us daily such as urban crime, size of organisations, epidemics, etc.

This is a book about how little things can make a huge difference, if the right people are involved. For instance did you know on that night Paul Revere made his midnight ride that there was a second rider? The reason everyone remembers Paul Revere is because he was successful, and he was successful because he was an extraordinary connector of people. He knew everyone, and on that night, he knew who to tell to get the militias mobilized.
there were only a couple interesting points. mostly it felt like "wow! look at this very popular thing! before it happened, this other thing happened. there might be a cause and effect there!"
Liked the book, interesting, but not life-changing.
