Outliers: The Story of Success
von Malcolm Gladwell
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.

Rezension von GraVAn enlightening book about the method behind success. Gives insight in many different spezialised fields of knowledge and I really enjoyed the patterns that emerged in these different fields that all semed to connect the arguments of the author. This is no "How to be Succesfull" book, so dont expect that when starting a read. I would have also would have like a more nuanced portrayal of success, as it sounds a lot like success is mandatory to lead a happy life, which I think was not the intention of the author. Overall a good read with an interesting topic but ultimately, for me personally at least, lacking in the broader picture of success, not only how to get there.
