In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.
Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

评分成功有時是命中注定
评分簡單易讀,強烈推薦。
评分One's success doesn't wholly depends on his/her intellectual level. It has to do with opportunities, one's readiness, and many other factors. Where one comes from actually plays some part in how successful he/she is. Nevertheless, one's personalities are crucial too, like persistence, and willing to work hard, etc. Good book, all in all.
评分I like the second half of the book about how cultural heritage conducts your behavior.
