Description

In this beautiful new book, We are taken by Malcolm Gladwell on an intellectual journey through the planet of "outliers"-- the brightest and the very best, the most well-known and the most effective. He asks the question: why is high-achievers various? His solution is that we spend too much attention as to the successful people are like, and too little attention to where they're from: that's, their family, their tradition, their era, and the idiosyncratic activities of the childhood. On the way he describes the strategies of application billionaires, what it requires to be always a great football player, why Asians are proficient at math, and what made the Beatles the best rock-band.
