In a way that they showed this is on page 151 of Tipping Point is when they constructed an experiment, “ The study showed how people who were charismatic could- without saying anything with the briefest exposures- infect others with their emotions” (Tipping point 151). This study showed that one person who can inspire devotion in others can change the way that a person thinks. Another point is when the story started to talk about the criminals in prison and how that can affect a person’s mind and emotions. In the text, one former prisoner stated, “ I began

    The book talks about inflection points which if not handled carefully, are drastic (10x) enough to put a company out of business. Basically, the author made a basis criticism on how Andrew Grove’s book “Only the Paranoid Survive” promoted the wrong thoughts on “normal suspicion” and “paranoia” survivor.
