Description du livre
Outliers …in 30 minutes is the essential guide to quickly understanding the ideas and stories explored in Malcolm Gladwell’s bestselling book, Outliers: The Story of Success.
In Outliers, best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell examines the fundamentals of extraordinary success and the people who achieve it. Claiming that society pays too much attention to characteristics like intelligence and ambition in successful people and not enough to the circumstances that shape them, he argues that external forces also propel the highly successful. Culture, family, demographics, chance circumstances, and hidden advantages can have as much or more to do with an outlier’s success as IQ or drive. Gladwell uses compelling research and fascinating case studies to demonstrate his assertion that nobody achieves success on his or her own merits. From Canadian hockey players to Bill Gates, Gladwell knits together a fascinating story about success.
