Outliers: The Story of Success

by Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell upends the self-made-genius myth, arguing that extraordinary success comes less from lone talent than from hidden advantages, lucky timing, cultural inheritance, and an enormous amount of practice. It's classic Gladwell: irresistibly readable, occasionally too neat, and impossible to stop quoting.
