'Outliers: The Story of Success' by Malcolm Gladwell

From the bestselling author of 'Blink' and 'The Tipping Point', Malcolm Gladwell's 'Outliers: The Story of Success' overturns conventional wisdom about genius to show us what makes an ordinary person an extreme overachiever.

There is a story that is usually told about extremely successful people, a story that focuses on intelligence and ambition. Gladwell argues that the true story of success is very different, and that if we want to understand how some people thrive, we should spend more time looking around them - at such things as their family, their birthplace, or even their birth date. And in revealing that hidden logic, Gladwell presents a fascinating and provocative blueprint for making the most of human potential.

In this provocative and inspiring book, Malcolm Gladwell looks at everyone from rock stars to professional athletes, software billionaires to scientific geniuses, to show that the story of success is far more surprising, and far more fascinating, than we could ever have imagined. He reveals that it's as much about where we're from and what we do, as who we are - and that no one, not even a genius, ever makes it alone.

'Outliers' will change the way you think about your own life story, and about what makes us all unique.
