Malcolm Gladwell on How the “Tipping Point” Has Been Misunderstood & Misused

Malcolm Gladwell (author, Revenge of the Tipping Point) joins Chris Cuomo for an in-depth conversation on the role of critical thinking in navigating today’s complex world. Gladwell discusses how the concept of the “tipping point,” which he popularized, has been misunderstood and misused in public discourse, and reflects on how the COVID pandemic has reshaped our approach to decision-making. Together, they examine the growing challenges of political polarization, the spread of misinformation, and why cultivating curiosity and skepticism is more important than ever in an age where quick judgments and surface-level solutions dominate.
