Fall Break With Malcolm Gladwell
Congratulations, students! You have survived the intensity of Fall Term 1. Just polish off those final exams this week and you can bust out of town for Fall Break. Whether you head for the snowy slopes of Squaw Valley or the showy shops in New York, you can travel with America’s best storyteller, Malcolm Gladwell.
In your car or on an airplane, listening to Gladwell makes the transit time melt away. And you can hear Gladwell via a Ford Library audiobook by downloading one of his best sellers onto your own device — iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet. All his best books are available.

Outliers. Gladwell examines successful people, who inhabit their world of advantages and inheritances, some that are earned through hard work and others that are simply good fortune. Downloadable audio. Also in print, Audio CD and Business Classics Kindle.
Blink. Humans use both conscious and unconscious modes of thinking and sometimes instant decisions can be as good as those made deliberately. Downloadable audio. Also in print, Audio CD and Business Classics Kindle.
The Tipping Point. Written years before social media, Gladwell’s first commercially successful book explores how ideas and trends suddenly go viral. Downloadable audio. Also in print, Audio CD and Business Classics Kindle.
