Outliers Torrent Pdf
ByWhat’s it about? In Outliers, 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. Through case studies ranging from hockey champions to Asian math whizzes, software entrepreneurs to famous rock bands to the rise of his own family in Jamaica, Gladwell tears down the cherished belief of the “self-made man” and instead explains how culture, circumstance, timing, birth and luck account for success.“It is not the brightest who succeed,” Gladwell says. “Nor is success simply the sum of the decisions and efforts we make on our own behalf. It is, rather, a gift. Outliers are those who have been given opportunities — and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.”Is the narrator any good?
