Outliers: The Story of Success

June 16, 2009

Malcolm Gladwell   Little Brown   $29.99

What makes over-achievers?  Intelligence and hard work, right?  No so fast, says Malcolm Gladwell.  Family, the circumstances of one’s birth, and environment are more significant factors, he argues.  Why are rice-growers super-achievers at math over wheat-growers?  Agree or disagree, this is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book.
