Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far outside the ordinary? What is the secret of their success?
Gladwell argues that, when we try to understand success, we normally start with the wrong question.
We ask “What is this person like?” when we should really be asking “where are they from?”
The real secret of success turns out to be surprisingly simple, and it hinges on a few crucial twists in people's life stories- on the culture they grow up in and the way they spend their time.
This book really will change the way you think about your life. And it will challenge you to make the most of your own potential.
