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. |
