Outliers

Malcolm Gladwell is the New York Times bestselling author of five books: The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath. He is also the co-founder of Pushkin Industries, an audio content firm that produces the podcasts Revisionist History, which revisits things that have been neglected or misinterpreted, and Broken Record, in which he, Rick Rubin, and Bruce Headlam interview performers from various genres. Gladwell has been named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People and one of Foreign Policy's Top Global Thinkers.

Malcolm Gladwell's remarkable new book takes us on an intellectual voyage through the world of "outliers"—the smartest and brightest, the most renowned and successful. He poses the question, "What distinguishes outstanding achievers?"

His response is that we focus too much on what successful individuals look like and too little on where they come from: their culture, family, generation, and the unique experiences of their childhood. He discusses the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are strong at math, and what made the Beatles the best rock band along the way.

Outliers, a brilliant and amusing work, is a landmark work that will both delight and illuminate.
