Description
Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell is a bestselling work of popular non-fiction that examines the hidden factors behind extraordinary achievement. Challenging the idea that success is purely the result of individual talent, Gladwell explores how culture, timing, opportunity and environment contribute significantly to high levels of performance.
Through a series of compelling case studies ranging from technology innovators to sports stars and cultural phenomena, the book argues that success is often shaped by circumstances beyond personal control. Written in Gladwell’s signature accessible and narrative-driven style, Outliers falls within the sub-genre of popular sociology and behavioural science non-fiction.
Engaging and thought-provoking, this book is well suited to readers interested in psychology, success studies, education and the social patterns behind achievement.
