Dear Tipsters,

I know I am not answering the question posed, but I wonder why we might not 
prefer to critique a book from a real academic psychologist in a senior 
seminar. For example, Skinner's "About Behaviorism" or Hebb's "Essay on Mind" 
are titles that pop up for me.

My problem with critiquing a popular psychology book such as Gladwell's is that 
you would have to go back to the original sources to see if he handled them 
correctly. So, for me, why not just deal with primary sources from the start?

Of course, if the seminar is about popularizing psychology, I could see 
critiquing a popular psychology book.

Sincerely,

Stuart
