Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell

All three of Malcolm Gladwell book are “must reads”. The Tipping Point, Blink and now Outliers. They all look at success and achievement in very uniques and interesting ways. The good news in Outliers is you don’t need to be a genius to succeed at a high level. The bad news is that its going to take 10,000 hours of work/study/obsession to be in the game then the world must shift in in your favor. at least if your looking for Bill Gates level success. If you are trying to grow and succeed you MUST read this book.

    “10,000 hours of work/study/obsession” this statement is strangely comforting and relieving to me (since that is the stage I am in right now), just put these books on hold at the library and am looking forward to reading them, thanks.

    I find it comforting as well. It takes some of the mystery out of being successful. And helps temper the impatience and unrealistic expectations we have when we are early into an endeavor.
