"In embracing the diversity of human beings, we will find a sure way to human happiness." Watch as Tipping Point author Malcolm Gladwell delves into work of acclaimed psychophysicist Howard Moskowitz and the evolution of the food industry's perception of how to make people happy. Gladwell explores the movement from the search for universals to the understanding of variability in humans, and the idea that people may not know what they really want.
