Outliers: The Story of Success de Malcolm Gladwell

Outliers: The Story of Success

Autor Malcolm Gladwell
Notă:  4.00 · 2 note 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iun 2011
In this stunning new 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,Outliersis a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

Recenzii

"In the vast world of nonfiction writing, Malcolm Gladwell is as close to a singular talent as exists today...Outliersis a pleasure to read and leaves you mulling over its inventive theories for days afterward."—David Leonhardt,New York Times Book Review
"The explosively entertainingOutliersmight be Gladwell's best and most useful work yet...There are both brilliant yarns and life lessons here:Outliersis riveting science, self-help, and entertainment, all in one book."—Gregory Kirschling,Entertainment 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

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Why are people successful? For centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great things. In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever.
He reveals that we pay far too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where successful people are from: their culture, their family, and their generation. Gladwell examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance of world-class football players are alike; what top fighter pilots and The Beatles have in common; why so many top lawyers are Jewish; why Asians are good at maths; and why it is correct to say that the mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius.
Just as he did in Blink, Gladwell overturns many of our conventional notions and creates an entirely new model for seeing the world. Brilliant and entertaining, this is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
