The book uses various CASE STUDIES, including the Los Angeles bank robbery surge, the spread of vaccine hesitancy in Waldorf schools, and the opioid crisis, to illustrate the impact of “overstories”—the narratives communities tell themselves—and the role of “superspreaders” in shaping the trajectory of contagious phenomena.
Gladwell also examines how group proportions and deliberate social engineering can MANIPULATE tipping points, referencing examples from Harvard University’s admissions policies and the manipulation of opioid prescriptions.
The book ultimately argues for a deeper understanding of HOW these FACTORS INTERACT to influence social trends and epidemics.
