Synopsis "Outliers: The Story of Success"

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.

Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell (Fareham, September 3, 1963) is a Canadian journalist, writer, and sociologist, son of a Jamaican psychologist and an English mathematics professor. Although born in England in 1963, at the age of six (1969) he moved with his family to Canada, where he was raised. At the University of Toronto, he graduated in History (1984) and, after being rejected by several advertising agencies, began his journalism career at a magazine in Indiana, The American Spectator. From there he moved to The Washington Post (1987-1996), where he spent nearly a decade, first in the Science section and then as head of the New York bureau for business.

By then he began reading academic research in sociology and psychology in search of ideas for reports, something that underpins much of his work and sparks many controversies in the sense that he tends to highlight the most documented exceptions to the rules of general opinion. In 1996 he started working at The New Yorker.
