This is a brilliant new book from the bestselling author of "The
Tipping Point" and "Blink". Why are people successful? For
centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for
the secret to accomplishing great things. In this stunning new
book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual
journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever. He reveals
that we pay far too much attention to what successful people are
like, and too little attention to where successful people are from:
their culture, their family, and their generation. Gladwell
examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance of
world-class football players are alike; what top fighter pilots and
The Beatles have in common; why so many top lawyers are Jewish; why
Asians are good at maths; and why it is correct to say that the
mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius. Just as
he did in "Blink", Gladwell overturns many of our conventional
notions and creates an entirely new model for seeing the world.
Brilliant and entertaining, this is a landmark work that will
simultaneously delight and illuminate.
