In this wide-ranging third installment of Malcolm Gladwell's exploration of how people and social phenomena work, the New Yorker journalist takes a close look at what constitutes high levels of success. That is, what makes people at the top of their respective fields get there? As we've come to expect from Gladwell's previous books, the answer to the question is a bit complicated.
He says that upbringing, culture and even random luck have something to with success, but there is another important quality that anyone can control. Two chapters are dedicated to the "revelation" that IQ is only a baseline quality and success has little to nothing to do with having a high IQ or a low IQ. Rather, success is substantially a product of cultivating a high degree of what Robert Sternberg calls "practical intelligence" or what most refer to as "emotional intelligence."
Gladwell uses the example of Nobel laureates coming from unknown schools as often as ivy league schools. At this level of mastery IQ is no longer a factor. Success has little to do with where you were educated and everything to do with your level of practical/emotional intelligence and willingness to put in the 10,000 hours of practice required to reach mastery of your field.
All in all, it's an interesting read that isn't too heady and goes by pretty quickly, as the interesting anecdotes are what you would expect from Gladwell.

我已经三十出头了。我虽然赚得了人生的第一桶金,也颇受业内人士的称赞,可胡润那个排行榜上还看不到我的名字。即使比起榜上最后一名,我的资产总额还差人家一个数量级。 我读过《高效能人士的七种习惯》,知道按步就班地接近目标;我也读过《细节决定成败》,懂得谨小慎微...
评分因为被转到讨论区,所以重新写一遍书评。首先,本文内容来源于《异类》这本书的分析方法。成功人士除了自身的条件和努力外,外界坏境和机遇更是不可缺少。(类似内容在本书第120页)。该分析不针对个别,而是对一个整体的分析,旨在说明80后只做能让70后成功的事情,并不能...
评分这是一本关于“成功学”的书,确实成功学中的异类!作者对成功途径的寻找在百万成功学中寻找到了一个外在的突破:成功并不仅仅只是单凭个人努力就可以实现的。 作者提到了一个目前广为人知的关键:10000小时的精细化训练和努力。在这一点上,作者提到比尔盖茨的例子,提到夹克...
评分 评分Outliers: The Story of Success 借来一套语音版的 Outliers 听完了。这本书里有很多故事,可是希望借此找到成功的奥秘恐怕很难,作者做的是一描述而不是预见。听了半天,只听出了六个字: “天时地利人和”。 比如比尔·盖茨,他之所以打造出一个这么庞大的帝国来,一是...
这本书真的比前一本啃的有趣多了,发现原版书比中文更有意思哈 不明白为什么那么多人都只看到一万小时那件事情,其实这个作者更多的表达的是成功更多的是先天,机遇巧合还有坏境所造成的,成长的环境更为重要点,其实很多人读完他这书还是会蛮绝望的吧...
