A good read to explore the idea that outliers have more to do with dedicated work, cultural heritage, and circumstantial opportunities. I like Gladwell's stories in explaining these ideas, but I don't know enough about the research to validate the ideas. ( ) Much like the other Gladwell book I've listened to, _David and Goliath_, this one certainly proves the point that Gladwell can weave together a good story. I don't know that I can take it much further. I didn't find that the book offered any real insights into how to be a success other than the 10,000 hour rule (work at something for 10,000 hours and you have a better chance of being successful).
“Outliers” has much in common with Gladwell’s earlier work. It is a pleasure to read and leaves you mulling over its inventive theories for days afterward. It also, unfortunately, avoids grappling in a few instances with research that casts doubt on those theories. This is a particular shame, because it would be a delight to watch someone of his intellect and clarity make sense of seemingly conflicting claims. The world for Gladwell is a text that he reads as closely as he can in seeking to decode and interpret it. He is adept at identifying underlying trends from which he extrapolates to form hypotheses, presenting them as if they were general laws of social behaviour. But his work has little philosophical rigour. He's not an epistemologist; his interest is in what we think, rather than in the how and why of knowledge itself. The book, which purports to explain the real reason some people — like Bill Gates and the Beatles — are successful, is peppy, brightly written and provocative in a buzzy sort of way. It is also glib, poorly reasoned and thoroughly unconvincing.

The best-selling author of Blink identifies the qualities of successful people, posing theories about the cultural, family, and idiosyncratic factors that shape high achievers, in a resource that covers such topics as the secrets of software billionaires, why certain cultures are associated with better academic performance, and why the Beatles earned their fame.
