asked:
Can anybody apprise me on what can I expect from this book? And since this book has been suggested to me by goodreads because I've read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, what are the similarities between the two?

Similar: Malcom Gladwell recently published his "15 must reads" and this one was on it. Supposingly with a little Freakonomics flavor.

Maybe because Gladwell recommended it on his recent podcast. That's why I added it to my list.

My suggestion: the book is a series of great essays (chapters) on a different aspect of driving patterns, traffic control, etc, with comparisons of the US with other countries. Each chapter had, for me, revelations and surprises. An informative, and entertaining, read, not at all too technical. I'm not surprised Gladwell gave it a "thumbs up."
