The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference is the debut book by Canadian writer Malcolm Gladwell, first published by Little, Brown in 2000. Gladwell defines a tipping point as "the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point." The book seeks to explain and describe sociological changes that mark everyday life.

The examples of such changes in his book include the rise in popularity and sales of Hush Puppies shoes (Leather Suede Shoes) in the mid-1990s and the steep drop in New York City's crime rate after 1990.
