DRAFT PICK: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Was Bill Gates really a genius or was he born lucky?

What was the Beatles' biggest break as a band?

Why are Asian children better at math than the Western?

Are rich kids relatively smarter than poorer ones?

If you're recipe for success is purely determination and hardwork, think again. 

In this page turner by Malcolm Gladwell, he gathers documentary evidence that points out why the most successful people, from Bill Gates to the Beatles came to be.  He also creates a strong argument that success is heavily dependent not just on who you are, but t a certain extent where you're from.

Outliers is amazingly inexpensive at P285 but highly addictive.  It might change the way you think about success.
