I enjoy Gladwell's books - easy to read, entertaining and generally insightful. Outliers fits the bill, although he starts off with a basic assumption - "We pretend that success is exclusively a matter of individual merit." - that I'm not sure is all that valid. I think most people would agree that circumstance and luck also play a part in creating success, and that's essentially the point he's making in this book. As such, I wasn't blown away by any new insights here - more a validation of what I always believed. Nevertheless, I would still recommend the book.Get more detail about Outliers: The Story of Success.
