Malcolm Gladwell shows why the story of success is far more
surprising, and more fascinating, than we could ever imagine
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.
