Outliers: The Story of Success
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an
intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the
brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what
makes high-achievers different?
His answer is that we pay too much
attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to
where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation,
and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he
explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great
soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the
greatest rock band.
Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a
landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
