- Running time: approx. 7 hours

- Language: English
- Condition: As good as new
In this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell (author of: The Tipping Point, Blink and What the Dog Saw) 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.
Malcolm Gladwell shows why the story of success is far more surprising, and more fascinating, than we could ever imagine. Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary? Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
In his 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 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. Like Blink, this is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
