They always use amazing stories or scientific studies in their writings. I am wondering how do they find scientific studies e.g. what portals do they use? What's the process like e.g. think of a a title and then use those as keywords for search? Any insights are appreciated?
I only have 3rd-degree connections to Gladwell, so this may be completely wrong, but I've heard he knows <i>everyone</i> in the communications field and synthesizes trends and topics from traveling and talking with a lot of researchers. His books aren't rigorously data-driven - they kind of coax out an intuition that explains things - so I think he gets ideas from conversations with people more than reading published works directly.<p>As for book titles: <a href="http://www.malcolmgladwellbookgenerator.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.malcolmgladwellbookgenerator.com</a>
