Gladwell Profile

February 6, 2006

A good profile of Malcolm Gladwell in the New York Times:

…beneath the social science data, Gladwell is selling something for
which there’s always a market. “I’m by nature an optimist. I can’t
remember the last time I wrote a story which could be described as
despairing,” he said. “I don’t believe in character. I believe in the
effect of the immediate impact of environment and situation on people’s
behavior.”
