From the bestselling author of Blink and The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell's O
utliers: The Story of Success overturns conventional wisdom about genius to show
us what makes an ordinary person an extreme overachiever. Why do some people ac
hieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary? In this
provocative and inspiring book, Malcolm Gladwell looks at everyone from rock st
ars to professional athletes, software billionaires to scientific geniuses, to s
how that the story of success is far more surprising, and far more fascinating,
than we could ever have imagined. He reveals that it's as much about where we're
from and what we do, as who we are - and that no one, not even a genius, ever m
akes it alone.
