<b>From the bestselling author of <i>The Bomber Mafia</i>, learn what sets high achievers apart</b>--f<b>rom Bill Gates to the Beatles</b>--<b>in this seminal work from "a singular talent" (<i>New York Times Book Review</i>). </b> <p/>In this stunning book, 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? <p/>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. <p/>Brilliant and entertaining, <i>Outliers</i> is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Malcolm Gladwell<br><b>Publisher:</b> Little Brown and Company<br><b>Published:</b> 11/18/2008<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.91lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.16h x 5.58w x 1.08d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780316017923<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 7.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 13<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>164990 / Outliers: The Story of Success<br><br><br><b>Review Cit
