About this product

Product Information

Learn what sets high achievers apart -- from Bill Gates to the Beatles -- in this #1 bestseller from "a singular talent" ( New York Times Book Review ). In this stunning book, 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. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? 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 explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

"Gladwell pulls double duty as author and narrator...the material is frequently astonishing, and his reading is clear, heartfelt, and makes for genuinely pleasurable listening."'e" Publishers Weekly, Like his previous work, THE TIPPING POINT, BLINK is a thought-provoking, category-defying book. The audio is read by the author with care and conviction., "....[Gladwell's] flair for narrative serves him well as a reader. Gladwell builds dramatic tension into his storytelling from the unique childhood of software tycoon Bill Gates to the secrets of success found along the rice fields of ancient China and Japan making for an engaging listening experience...."'e" Publishers 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, "Malcolm Gladwell reminds us that authors can effectively read their own books by turning in a well-crafted, subtle performance. His slightly husky upper-register voice is calm and assured, and he knows exactly where to pause, provide emphasis, and how to deliver a punch line."'e" AudioFile, "The explosively entertaining Outliers might be Gladwell's best and most useful work yet...There are both brilliant yarns and life lessons here: Outliers is riveting science, self-help, and entertainment, all in one book."-- Gregory Kirschling , Entertainment Weekly, Gladwell pulls double duty as author and narrator...the material is frequently astonishing, and his reading is clear, heartfelt, and makes for genuinely pleasurable listening., Malcolm Gladwell reminds us that authors can effectively read their own books by turning in a well-crafted, subtle performance.

Intelligence Counts, But It's Not Everything
This book might appear obvious and even questionable to many people, but it contains several reminders and eye-openers that all of us often keep forgetting every day: true success and notoriety are for few - the environment, time and cultural heritage which one was born and raised are, putting them all together with hard work, persistence and a certain level of intelligence, decisive factors which set one individual or another apart from the others. If one takes the time to think about the core message, it will certainly draw the conclusion that it all makes perfect sense. The world is full of intelligent, brilliant and hard working people and only if there were enough chances for each and everyone of them to show and develop the correct abilities at the right place, by the right time and ... This book might appear obvious and even questionable to many people, but it contains several reminders and eye-openers that all of us often keep forgetting every day: true success and notoriety are for few - the environment, time and cultural heritage which one was born and raised are, putting them all together with hard work, persistence and a certain level of intelligence, decisive factors which set one individual or another apart from the others. If one takes the time to think about the core message, it will certainly draw the conclusion that it all makes perfect sense. The world is full of intelligent, brilliant and hard working people and only if there were enough chances for each and everyone of them to show and develop the correct abilities at the right place, by the right time and to the right people, chances are that he/she might become an outlier on his/her field of expertise. The point is that nobody chooses whether or not to be an outlier, it just happens. The author points meaningful considerations about the how the educational system and other purely cultural aspects may affect the ability of an individual or a group of them to develop hard work and constant practicing, which is absolutely relevant for creating the conditions for more and more people to be a potential "Outlier". And here is where the book starts to function as a provider of a powerful message, rather than a simple shortened biography of some outstanding people - you don't have to be an outlier, but you can be somebody which can make the whole difference. Good book, entertaining and inspiring from start to finish.

Outliers - one way to get a free copy!
This is among the most interesting books on CD that I've ever listened to. Not only do I think it's worth listening to, I think it should be mandatory for everyone to listen to. I'm a boyscout leader and on a recent trip to the beach, I made two scouts listen to the CD despite our normal "no electronics" rule ... it's just that educational. You'll not only be able to explain why many people succeed, you'll also get ideas on what it takes to be successful. You'll also learn what's 'not up to you' in terms of critical success factors. You'll learn what the 1800's, 1955, and 10,000 hours have in common. I'll give you a hint: Bill Gates was born in 1955 (I, unfortunately, didn't go into computers and was born in 1957 ...

Gladwell Searches for Patterns in Successful People
Malcolm Gladwell has become an influential public educator by examining the obvious. In Outliers- successful people who stand out from the rest of the crowd- he posits that where a person comes from matters, whether you are Bill Gates or the Beatles. His gift as a writer is to look for answers in the wisdom and research of experts, academics, kooks- ouliers all. The lesson of Outliers is this: Successful people are not successful by accident. They are the product of will and determination, and of forces beyond their control: ancestry, parenting, community and....dumb luck. He argues that practice is an important part of success- a minimum of 10,000 hours, no matter what the specialty. Gladwell's broader assertion is that there are no real outliers. Successes, he writes, "are ... Malcolm Gladwell has become an influential public educator by examining the obvious.

He argues that practice is an important part of success- a minimum of 10,000 hours, no matter what the specialty. Gladwell's broader assertion is that there are no real outliers. Successes, he writes, "are products of history and community, of opportunity and legacy. Their success is not exceptional or mysterious. It is grounded in a web of advantages and disadvantages, some deserved, some not, some earned, some just plain lucky- but all critical to making them who they are." In other words, if it's not something, it's another. Life is a crapshoot. Each person is special. Gladwell manages to make these pedestian observations interesting, somehow, and anyone who has read his previous books will find this one just as instructive.
