Malcolm Gladwell on the Importance of Effort and Commitment

Effort and commitment are crucial to Malcolm Gladwell both personally and when evaluating others. He emphasizes the significance of caring about something, making sacrifices, and actively pursuing goals. Gladwell values surrounding himself with individuals who display commitment and dedication to a cause, suggesting he finds it challenging to relate to idle individuals who lack a sense of purpose. As Gladwell has matured, he has become less tolerant of idleness and unproductive behaviors, believing that everyone should apply themselves towards something meaningful to make their existence purposeful and worthwhile.
