具体描述
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.

读后感
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...
评分这是一本引人入胜的书，吸引人之处不仅在于作者揭示的一个个鲜为人知的道理，更在于作者的思维方式。作者分析那些公认的天才们所拥有的机遇，以及飞机失事的原因时，抽丝剥茧，层层深入，直指要害，令人折服。 从表面上看，作者把成功的因素归于两点：机遇和文化传承，但作者真...
评分马普托卡多索酒店旁边有个咖啡馆，就在山顶上面对着大海和马普托河。海边不时有大轮船拉着汽笛经过。下午和两个同事坐在咖啡馆前大树下看书，要上一瓶tonic水躺在长椅上，周围小孩子跑来跑去。就在那里我读完了这本书，期间一直保持着愉快的心情。 开车回kaya k...
评分Malcolm Gladwell 是个很会写书的，记者。我感觉他一共就写过三本书：The Tipping Point, Blink，和 Outliers。这三本书的共同特点是一本比一本流行，一出来就成为热门话题。 Outliers 这本书，我们小镇（一共才不到十万人口）的公共图书馆一次就买了8本，因为太热门，借阅一...
评分这是一本研究如何成功的书，分析了成功的背后那些常被人忽略的因素，具体分析了这些因素是如何发挥作用的。 书分两大部分。第一部分讲机遇，说明机遇在人的成功中起到的决定性作用，这些机遇包括时代的、社会转型和家庭环境等方面。第二部分讲文化传承对人的影响，分析了不同...
用户评价
成功源自优势的不断积累：你出生在何时何地，你父母的职业以及你成长的环境。
评分卓越源自训练，才情，时势的完美组合
评分关于成功的心灵鸡汤文发现。成功取决于偶然（竞技比赛年龄线），出生时代机遇、家庭背景、巧合（不受重视的技能被看重）、文化背景。SY 9/11
评分这不是一本简单粗暴的成功学无脑作，而是严肃认真的社会学研究！对政府部门，社会工作者和教育工作者启发更大些，脑残看了就傻乎乎确认一万小时定律，真是白瞎了这本好书
评分#A brilliant book unfolding the secrets of the Outliers. It gave me goosebumps in a strange way.
