Outliers: The Story of Success de Malcolm Gladwell

Outliers: The Story of Success

Autor Malcolm Gladwell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 noi 2008
In this stunning bestseller, 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.
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 reveals the secrets of software billionaires like Bill Gates, why you've never heard of the smartest man in the world, why almost no star hockey players are born in the fall, why Asians are good at math, what made the Beatles the greatest rock band and, why, when it comes to plane crashes, where the pilots are from matters as much as how well they are trained.
The lives of outliers follow a peculiar and unexpected logic, and in uncovering that logic, Gladwell presents a fascinating blueprint for making the most of human potential--one that transforms the way we understand success.

Recenzii

"In the vast world of nonfiction writing, Malcolm Gladwell is as close to a singular talent as exists today...Outliersis a pleasure to read and leaves you mulling over its inventive theories for days afterward."—David Leonhardt,New York Times Book Review
"The explosively entertainingOutliersmight be Gladwell's best and most useful work yet...There are both brilliant yarns and life lessons here:Outliersis riveting science, self-help, and entertainment, all in one book."—Gregory Kirschling,Entertainment Weekly
"No other book I read this year combines such a distinctive prose style with truly thought-provoking content. Gladwell writes with a high degree of dazzle but at the same time remains as clear and direct as even Strunk or White could hope for."—Atlanta Journal Constitution

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

There is a story that is usually told about extremely successful people, a story that focuses on intelligence and ambition. Gladwell argues that the true story of success is very different, and that if we want to understand how some people thrive, we should spend more time looking around them-at such things as their family, their birthplace, or even their birth date. And in revealing that hidden logic, Gladwell presents a fascinating and provocative blueprint for making the most of human potential.

In The Tipping Point Gladwell changed the way we understand the world. In Blink he changed the way we think about thinking. In OUTLIERS he transforms the way we understand success.
