Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell



I am currently reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. I highly recommend this book!!

In Outliers, Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success. To support his thesis, he examines the causes of why the majority of Canadian ice hockey players are born in the first few months of the calendar year, how Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates achieved his extreme wealth, and how two people with exceptional intelligence, Christopher Langan and J. Robert Oppenheimer, end up with such vastly different fortunes.

Love this quote from the book:

"Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good."

Get a copy! You'll enjoy it!
