One of my all-time favorite reads because it forces you to understand that no matter what your challenge or no matter what your problem is, goes back to problem solving. Whatever the problem is you're trying to solve, there is a tipping point.

Cam Wurf mentioned on The Rich Roll Podcast that his cycling team's CEO had suggested he read the book, leading him to appreciate how people act as connectors in social networks. Neil deGrasse Tyson explored the core thesis of the book with the author on StarTalk Radio. Angela Duckworth referenced the work on No Stupid Questions as one of the author's many notable bestsellers, while Frank Vasquez discussed the text on ChooseFI to illustrate how fashion trends and fads take off.
