Jenny Phillips asked this question about
Outliers: The Story of Success:
Interesting anecdotes, and I'll give some credit to anyone who challenges the myth of self-determination. But the research is sloppy and never engages meaningfully with criticisms or counter-arguments. Also, what are we to do with this analysis? The prescriptive component is notably absent.

I asked my parents this question too. I already have a mediocre background, what should I do?
