Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Have you ever wondered why some people are extremely successful and others are not? Is there something that has always set successful people apart? How can you be successful like them? In Malcolm Gladwell’s third book, Outliers: The Story of Success, he reveals and decodes the secrets about success. His book reveals secrets to extraordinary success with stories of real people told from an unbiased perspective. He explains what Bill Gates, the Beatles and other world-class successes have in common. Successful people need to be understood by their background, where they’re from, their culture, their family, and their generation. Throughout the book Gladwell overturns many ideas about what makes a person successful and he suggests ways to give people the best opportunities to succeed. This is a must read book for anyone who is interested in why people are successful and obtain a better understanding of society. Outliers is inspirational and anyone can benefit from reading this book.
“Extraordinary achievement is less about talent than it is about opportunity.”
