Interesting and thought-provoking read, as all of Gladwell's books have been so far.

Unfortunately, the thoughts they have come to provoke are wondering how provable his theses are and how I would go about fact-checking them. There's a fine balance between too much proof, causing tedium, and not enough, causing disbelief. What he says about success rings true - but is it?
