Unearthing the true roots of extraordinary success.

If you've ever wondered why success seems to grace some people with an almost magical ease, "Outliers" might shed light on that mystique for you. Gladwell doesn't just tell us about individual successes; he pulls back the curtain on how societal factors, timing, culture, and even sheer luck play critical roles in shaping a person's trajectory. Dive into this book and you might walk away looking at success — and your own potential — through a completely different lens.

Description

Learn what sets high achievers apart — from Bill Gates to the Beatles — in this #1 bestseller from "a singular talent" (New York Times Book Review). In this stunning 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.
