  • This is one of the great things about C-Span and YouTube. What a lengthy and useful interview with one of the most vital writers of the 21st century. I could listen to Gladwell speak all day.

  • Gladwell's clearly uncomfortable discussing himself as a subject. He likes to be a journalist, reporting what he sees, bringing other people's work to the forefront and commenting on it. Every journalist faces a line between pure reporting and editorializing and Gladwell's strayed more toward drawing largescale conclusions of late. That, coupled with his bestseller status, makes him a target.

  • I'm sorry, are we watching the Chris Farley show? Probably couldn't find a more money driven inquisitive substandard listening interviewer. Malcolm, shine on you crazy diamond. Extremely intelligent and humble man.

  • why is this interviewer only interested in how much money he is making?

  • The interviewer hesitated at 'biracial'.

    

  • one of the most thought provoking authors out there, cant wait to get 'what the dog saw'. Marcus Cunningham is another author that I put in the same thought provoking line up. Blink is a saweet read!!! Outliers my second and tipping point quite well researched. Thank you Malcolm

  • @ZachClooney

    He is straight. He said in a slate diary some years ago he has a preference for dark haired jewish girls.

    Also if you frequent the west village in NY, where he lives, then you would see him with women regularly.

  • 22:28 ===> is he wearing nikes?!

  • Malcolm is awesome!  This guy shot so many bullets at Malcom, but he stayed 'focused' the entire time.

  • Why is the interviewer so rude to keep mentioning money??!! I really love Gladwell books because of his quirky and unique perspective and i'd like to hear more about that, not about how much he makes.

  • Those who are MOST opposed to Malcolm seem to be caught up in the flawed ideology that talent and hard work is all you need to be successful. Malcolm's books are an affront to the self congratulatory mindset permeating America. The chest beating of those who think their success is due ONLY to their hard work is audacious. For the record Microsoft was born in the mind of a wealthy kid with rare access to a computer. Who had a rich corporate lawyer dad, and a mother who sat on the board of a bank.

  • This interviewer is crap.
