You did not let me down because you've written another fantastic book, Revenge of The Tipping Point, where you revisit

my first book, the tipping point, my last book, revenge of the tipping point. ... the simple idea, the spread of ideas can usefully be understood as similar to the spread of disease that the same contagious principles that govern epidemics of disease govern epidemics of ideas.

I have a new book out in paperback revenge of the tipping point.

We're talking about two books written 25 years apart. My first book, the tipping point, my last book, revenge of the tipping point.

I loved what Malcolm did Revenge of Tipping Point this year and I read it and I loved it.

This was also in Malcolm's book, Revenge of the Tipping Point.

I have a new book coming out. It's called Revenge of the Tipping Point. It's a sequel to The Tipping Point, my very first book from 25 years ago.

This time around, in Revenge of the Tipping Point, I'm taking those ideas and going one big step deeper. Now I'm interested in the dark side.

And today we're sharing an exclusive preview of chapter one of the audiobook of Revenge of the Tipping Point. It's all about bank robbers and doctors, and that's all I'm going to tell you, because you'll have to listen to find out more.

Thanks for listening to that preview of my new book, Revenge of the Tipping Point. You can hear the rest on Audible, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Spotify, Pushkin.FM or wherever you like to listen.

This episode is part of a little mini-series I'm doing to introduce my new book called Revenge of the Tipping Point, the sequel to my very first book from 25 years ago, The Tipping Point.

If you read Revenge, and of course I really hope you do, you'll see that halfway through Chapter 5, the mysterious case of the Harvard women's rugby team, I make reference to a court case called U.S. v. Coury.

I lost sleep over trying to shoehorn the whole Coury case into my book because I regard U.S. v. Coury as one of the all-time most riveting, most unintentionally hilarious, most heartbreaking legal battles ever.
