Eye-opener

This book really broadens the mind. Learn about southern culture, the advantage of being born in the mid-1950's, and why farming in Asia versus farming in America creates a different culture!

Outliers -- a success

submitted by gclites on August 16, 2010, 7:21 pm

Interesting, easy read. Lots to think about -- Gladwell says that success comes from adding up lots of little things, and he tells many good stories. Some may question whether being Jewish in New York in 1900 was an advantage. Few would question that working 10,000 hours on your favorite job task would give you an advantage. If you like this book, you might like Mindset -- the New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck.
