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.
Outliers,《异类:不一样的成功启示录》
The Tipping Point,《引爆点》
书评前先画圈圈圈恶毒诅咒AT&T的上网服务。激活一坨Dry-loop ADSL都要十多天,水平之低劣让人发中指。10多天上不了网,就靠一坨电话收收email,不容易呐。 如果哪位老大想从这本书里读到成功捷径,一举超越机场里西装革履白袜黑鞋扎堆儿聚精会神观看成功学录像的成功人士,可...
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...
评分最近连看了两本让我整个人都不好了书,其中一本就是这本《异类》,(另一本是《我在底层的生活》)。看这本书的时候我的情绪简直坐了一趟过山车,从“有点沮丧”开始、途中变成“非常沮丧”、再变成“完了完了”、最后奇迹般地变成“嘛~既然人生已经这样了、那就这样吧”——...
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:无
评分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#A brilliant book unfolding the secrets of the Outliers. It gave me goosebumps in a strange way.
评分如此巧妙地用科学粉饰了苍凉的宿命感
