Description

When a journalist looks for facts and connections between people who are a huge success, the outcome is always interesting. Malcolm Gladwell wrote his third book ‘Outliers: The story of success’ after extensive research and many interviews. If one thinks about it, is it possible to find a pattern in all the success stories of the world? Is it lies that take you ahead on your journey or is it just destiny and hard work? This book is honest, audacious and direct. The book starts with discussing why all Canadian Ice hockey players are born in the first half of the calendar and he goes on to evaluate the opportunities that came to Bill Gates and other celebrities. This book was debuted at number one in New York time’s bestsellers list. The author talks about the “10-000 hour rule”, where he claims that to be successful and excellent at any skill, you need a practice of 10-000 hours. It was very well received by critics. It contains an easy language and thus is a light read and informative book. The book is divided in two parts: Opportunity and Legacy. The book is autobiographical in nature. Gladwell, through this book makes a point in front of the readers that no one in this world can succeed alone. Everyone needs factors and support of people going in their direction although it might not be evident at times. This book is a good read if you are looking for some answers to the question of success.

  1. RACHNA LODHA (Verified Purchase)

    A really good book to understand that outliers don’t just drop down from the skies but are a product of their environment and even luck. Really well presented by citing research for the data and stuff.

  2. Manik Sarkar (Verified Purchase)

    Tells the mixture of opportunity and hard work.Along with this cultural legacies is also an important factor according to author.
    The book is interesting and at least once to be read by everyone.I especially liked the 9th chapter in which farmers of China are discussed.

  3. Balaji C (Verified Purchase)

    Superb research and writing. Compelling arguments. Brilliant structure and equally engaging book. Amazing insights. A must read in non fiction.

  4. Sanjay Kumar (Verified Purchase)

    Different perspective on success stories. This book will make you realize how circumstances & opportunities play a big part in making you successful & such realization will make you humble. 5 stars.

  5. Pushpendra patidar (Verified Purchase)

    Collection of some analysis of findings ; which seems irrelevant in broad perspective, but becomes too factual about casualit.
    But stretching too far may make readers feel little irritated.
    Still good for casual read.
