"Outliers" delves into the hidden circumstances behind success through an unfolding series of entertaining and thought provoking case studies. Gladwell posits that highly successful people aren't just innately talented, but are, in fact, the lucky beneficiaries of systematic cultural, family, and idiosyncratic factors. While this may not seem like an earth shattering idea, Gladwell brings us on a journey that is both thought-provoking, and I'm happy to say, fun! "Outliers" is a fast read that will entertain, engage your intellect, and leave you mulling over case studies long after you've put down the book. Warning: your enthusiasm may annoy your friends :-)
