Outliers
by Malcolm Gladwell
BF 637 .S8 G533 2008
New Yorker columnist Gladwell made a big splash with Blink and The Tipping Point. In his 2008 book, Outliers, Gladwell focuses on success and how it is achieved. With clear, accessible language Gladwell relates the stories behind the tremendous success of specific individuals. His message is that although it does take hard work to succeed – his measure is 10,000 hours to become an expert at anything – it also takes opportunity. While some may interpret this as proof that the American dream is not equally accessible, it is also a reminder to seize hold of the opportunities that open to you.
