Malcolm Gladwell Explains Outliers
Malcolm Gladwell, the bestselling author of Blink and Tipping Point hits it out of the park again in his latest book, “Outliers”.
In this book, Gladwell explains the successes of successful people whom he calls Outliers and talks about how culture, opportunity and surrounding factors impact and contribute to these successes.
He explains why the people of Rosetto, PA never died of sickness or disease, why Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are so successful, and why Korean Airlines suffered from a series of mishaps in the 1980’s. At the center of all these stories, is the impact of culture, opportunity, and the surroundings that contributed to these stories unbeknownst to the people involved.
Without giving too much away, I just want to say that this is a quick and delightful read and is suitable for any professional or entrepreneur. For those who wonder how two people of the same stature, background and education end up at the opposite ends of the wealth spectrum, this book offers plausible insight that will certainly get you thinking.
I highly recommend getting a copy of Outliers: The Story of Success
