About this product

Product Information

Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author of Blink and The Bomber Mafia and host of the podcast Revisionist History , explores what sets high achievers apart --f rom Bill Gates to the Beatles -- in this seminal work from "a singular talent" ( New York Times Book Review ). In this stunning 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.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

See the road to success from a whole new angle!
Extensive research went in to telling the stories of successful people and dispels the myth that you have to be born to the right family or have an expensive education to be successful. It was intriguing to learn why the Beatles became the phenomenal band they were, and what started Bill Gates on the path that led to his success. What year, or what time of the year you're born can have a dramatic impact on your potential for success. A fascinating book that weaves various individual stories in a way that makes you want to read more. I was sorry to reach the last page.Extensive research went in to telling the stories of successful people and dispels the myth that you have to be born to the right family or have an expensive education to be successful.

Needs more about female success stories
A very interesting and debatable topic! I personally would feel defeated if I thought the only way to achieve success was through luck and your birthday! Hard work along with natural ability should be most important which is why people should be encouraged to follow their instincts after being introduced to all possibilities. If one path doesn't work out, people should be encouraged to try another until they find where they belong. Life is not always easy.............A very interesting and debatable topic!

Quick and easy read, recommend!
The book Outliers was a book written by Malcom Gladwell. This book is aimed for college age students or young adults. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed this book for many reasons and it is a very quick and easy read. This book kept me intrigued through out the entire story. This book gets you thinking about your own life and how you could be as successful as the people he portrays in this book. Malcom Gladwell’s writing style is unique. Not only does he put his opinion in this book but he also gathers tons and tons of research evidence that helps support what he is saying. Each chapter in this book talks about a different person, sport, or experience that people had to go through to get where they are today. He explains how the greatest people in this life didn’t ...

Each chapter in this book talks about a different person, sport, or experience that people had to go through to get where they are today. He explains how the greatest people in this life didn’t get where they are today by themselves. With hard work, dedication, and a few caring people, they got to be where they are today. One of the examples that stuck out the most to me was when he talked about many famous people and related it back using research to see where they are today. The conclusions of this was that all of them had 10,000 hours or more of practice to be as talented as they are now. This goes for hockey players, piano players, singers, etc. Malcom Gladwell gives many examples through out the story of how people are considered outliers. He defines outliers being someone/something that does something that is out of the ordinary. Overall great book and I would recommend it if you are looking for a quick and easy read.

Success by Choice, Luck, or Opportunity?
Take a moment and think about what success means to you and how it plays a role in your life. What is success, really? Just a word with a simple definition like most others or is there a deeper meaning with a defined hidden message? Outliers by Maxwell Gladwell is a good book in the fact that there is not just one story or situation, yet multiple to give examples and back his theory of what an outlier is and how one is determined. Throughout the book Gladwell discusses certain situations in which deem you an outlier. Talent and individual merit are within the opportunity to work hard. Some situations, or popular notions of success that would determine you as an outlier, although giving you no way in controlling the fact would be hidden advantages, and cultural legacy. Students, faculty and ... Take a moment and think about what success means to you and how it plays a role in your life. What is success, really? Just a word with a simple definition like most others or is there a deeper meaning with a defined hidden message? Outliers by Maxwell Gladwell is a good book in the fact that there is not just one story or situation, yet multiple to give examples and back his theory of what an outlier is and how one is determined. Throughout the book Gladwell discusses certain situations in which deem you an outlier. Talent and individual merit are within the opportunity to work hard. Some situations, or popular notions of success that would determine you as an outlier, although giving you no way in controlling the fact would be hidden advantages, and cultural legacy. Students, faculty and even members around the community could easily identify with at least one if not more of the situations that are discussed within the book. For students it may be hockey or the overall underlying purpose to the story that hard work and success go hand in hand in that with determination great success will follow. As for members in the community it could be more of a general idea, which is that of history. Some questions that still go unanswered are, “What if everyone were given the same opportunities? What if everyone had the same cultural legacies or the same hidden advantages?” If these questions were true for every person in the fact that each and every person were given the same opportunities and had the same talent, people would be given a chance at the same opportunity of success. But this is not true as you read throughout the book there are different thresholds that impacted each and every person or object that would give them a label of successful or not. Take a look back at your life and your parent’s life and ask yourself this question, “Are you an outlier?” Overall I thought the book held lots of interesting stories that were backed up very well with the information and statistics that were provided. I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in finding out how certain people and places became successful, what hidden advantages were in store for them as they grew up, and what opportunities were presented to them that were in their favor along the way.

Gladwell does it again!
Outliers is a great book. A little less scientific then some other books on theory and success but well worth the read. Its easy to understand the concepts and the real world examples are excellent. The additional stories from "real" people make the reading very interesting. I highly recommend this book. Check out the authors other titles when you have a chance.
