Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Outliers: The Story of Success

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Outliers: The Story of Success: "If you don't know what success 'is', you cannot prepare for it, January 15, 2009

(REAL NAME)
Having read all of Gladwell's popular titles I see the continuation of his endless quest for the answer to 'why'. The book combines the right amount of mystery, fact, and analysis. There are no life changing outcomes here if you already understand much of life is who you know. The book helps explain why you know who you know and how the systems that humans have created serve to keep your 'who you know list' quite limited. Overall, the text makes sense and adds another conversation point for social gatherings or filling time before a meeting."
