In this stunning New York Times best seller, Blink and The Tipping
Point author Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey
through the world of "outliers"-the best, brightest, most
famous and most successful-learning that we pay too much attention
to what successful people are like, and too little attention to
where they are from.
Why are people successful? For centuries, humankind has grappled
with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great
things.
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an
invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme
overachiever.
He reveals that we pay far too much attention to what successful
people are like, and too little attention to where successful
people are from: their culture, their family, and their
generation.
Gladwell examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance
of world-class football players are alike; what top fighter pilots
and The Beatles have in common; why so many top lawyers are Jewish;
why Asians are good at maths; and why it is correct to say that the
mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius.
Malcolm Gladwell schrieb über Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Medizin für die "Washington Post", deren Bürochef in New York er anschließend wurde. Derzeit schreibt er für den "New Yorker".
