Author: Malcolm Gladwell
Publisher: Penguin, 2009
Reviewer: Liz Buckle
It is Malcolm Gladwell’s story-telling skill that makes his books so successful. The opening sentence of Outliers immediately lets us know that our imagination as well as our intellect is going to be fully engaged.
His objective is to change the way we think about success – to look beyond the men and women who do things that are out of the ordinary for the hidden advantages, extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies that enabled these individuals to learn and work hard and make sense of the world in a way that others could not.
This book is thought provoking. Be prepared to read in one session, to return frequently, to re-read the stories, and to be inspired to take control of the machinery of achievement.
