Outliers

In his new book, Malcolm Gladwell examines the factors that make high-achievers different from the rest of us. He explores the question: what makes high-achievers different? It turns out that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like and not enough attention to where they are from. His answer: their culture, family, and generation. In Outliers, 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.
