    <![CDATA[In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of &quot;outliers&quot;--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. <br/><br/><br/> Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Malcolm Gladwell's new book reads like a series of cocktail-party anecdotes.  Whether the book is a mere fluff piece or something more is open to debate.  At its heart, it has two themes: (1) That success depends not just on talent but opportunity, and (2) that success (and failure) also depend on t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37746813">more...</a>]]></body>
