Q. Do you have a favourite smart thinking book (and why that book)?
Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell. Description from Bookshop.org: (All links earn commission from purchases. Prices accurate at time of writing)
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is my favorite smart thinking book. I enjoyed this book because it's about what makes some people excel and function outside of the norms of others. This resonated with me because I have always felt like an outsider.
Outliers: The Story of Success
Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary?
In this provocative and inspiring book, Malcolm Gladwell looks at everyone from rock stars to professional athletes, software billionaires to scientific geniuses, to show that the story of success is far more surprising, and far more fascinating, than we could ever have imagined.
He reveals that it's as much about where we're from and what we do, as who we are - and that no one, not even a genius, ever makes it alone.
Outliers will change the way you think about your own life story, and about what makes us all unique.
