About this listen
From the best-selling author of The Bomber Mafia, learn what sets high achievers apart - from Bill Gates to the Beatles - in this seminal work from "a singular talent" (New York Times Book Review).
In this stunning audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - 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.
Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,098
The routine traffic stop that ends in tragedy. The spy who spends years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The false conviction of Amanda Knox. Why do we so often get other people wrong? Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's motives? Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings - from history, psychology and infamous legal cases - Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual adventure into the darker side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous consequences.

A rebelling perspective with a solid case
Book was written really well. Gladwell clearly put in tons of research and has presented his opinions with solid foundation. My perspective on success has been altered to a more holistic approach. The lessons you learn in this book help better understand success.

tiny pieces of statistical phenomena
all successful people have the following in common : hardwork , skill , interest ... and "chance" .
it's nature and nurture but never nature vs nurture for one person to be successful.

Awesome take on success
This book made me think a lot about my own roots, and up bringing.
I have always realised that culture plays a big role in how people do things even decades later. But this book also makes me wonder about the impact of distruction of native cultures by colonialists in India and now in the name of modernisation by my fellow Indians.
I am not against modernisation, our Indian culture has always been a melting pot with influences from around the world. But modernisation just for the heck of it won’t do. There has to be a rationale to it. This book helps us understand that culture maters. (Btw I don’t miss understand culture to be traditions and precedents)

Demystifying exceptional success
There are some things you would probably never come across until you read a Malcolm Gladwell book, and those things are what make it an absolute pleasure. His research and performance are phenomenal. Seems like he's been doing it for over 10000 hours
