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.
