Outliers: The Story of Success

by Malcolm Gladwell
Outliers: The Story of Success - Thryft
Outliers: The Story of Success - Thryft

Crack the code to success

Recommendation: Outliers is a must-read for those who are curious about what sets apart successful individuals from the rest. Gladwell uses compelling stories to highlight the importance of external factors such as culture, opportunity and legacy, instead of just focusing on individual traits. This book will make you think about how you can leverage your own unique circumstances to achieve success.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In this provocative and inspiring book, Malcolm Gladwell examines everyone from business giants to scientific geniuses, sports stars to musicians, and reveals what they have in common. He looks behind the spectacular results, the myths and the legends to show what really explains exceptionally successful people. Gladwell argues that, when we try to understand success, we normally start with the wrong question. We ask "what is this person like?" when we should really be asking "where are they from?" The real secret of success turns out to be surprisingly simple, and it hinges on a few crucial twists in people's life stories - on the culture they grow up in and the way they spend their time. What does Bill Gates have in common with the Beatles? How does your IQ relate to your salary? What can a linguist tell us about airline safety? How does the way your child speaks to an adult affect their success in life? What do rice paddies have to do with maths results? And how can you predict a maths star without even making them take a test? Malcolm Gladwell has the answers. This book really will change the way you think about your life. And it will challenge you to make the most of your own potential.
