Malcolm Gladwell'sOutliers: The Story of Success (Hardcover)(2008)

Since this title has been around awhile, I had already heard of some of the ideas presented. I found it a bit boring and started skipping pages.

A well-researched novel on the story of success. The author does an amazing job explaining how factors other than IQ contribute to success in the workforce. He shows how the date of birth can be an advantage to some and a disadvantage to others. He supports his claims with the lives of millionaires through history. He shows how the birt month of great athletes is just as it even more important than skill in going pro. This was very fascinating because it tells the reader that some things about success are predetermined at birth. He also shows how high IQ can actually be a disadvantage to success. Well-researched and a must read. I highly recommend this book for teachers or who have children.Read lessRead less of this comment LikeLike this comment FlagFlag this comment
