Outliers

Outliers: the Story of Success, by Malcom Gladwell.

I am really digging the way this guy writes. It's so refreshing and has such interesting viewpoints. Granted, sometimes it can get a wee bit boring, but the way his books are made up, each chapter is independent. There is a common theme, but they can be read in any order. So skip away!

This was such a fun book about success and how people succeed. There is usually something that happened to get them where they are. Bill Gates didn't just decide to figure out computers, he was given some incredible opportunities growing up that allowed him to be at the peak when computers needed a change to be more "personal." Throughout the entire book, Gladwell profiles successful people and their life. No one made it to success on their own. And whether those were good forces or bad forces, they didn't just stumble upon it. I see it as a miracle...one thing building upon another until voila! Success!

Totally recommend this book. It's a pretty quick read, and will be enjoyable.
