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.

评分一般谈到成功,就有人要语重心长教育你,要努力,要勤奋,要奋斗,大致就是这个意思,如果情商再高一点的说法就是努力未必成功,不努力肯定不成功,这有没有错? 没错,但马尔科姆·格拉威德尔(就是写那本《引爆点》和《决断两秒间》的作者)想告诉你,成功需要10000个小时的...
评分必须承认,在我读初高中的时候,我看过以下几本书:《西点军校》、《自励》、《谁动了我的奶酪》、《我行你也行》、《小中见大》等等。这些书看名字就知道属于图书市场上一股最妖邪的力量—心灵鸡汤,其中的内容我一点都想不起来。它们中的绝大部分都被我扔掉了,只保留了《我...
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...
