Summary:

In this book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of 'outliers'. 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 and why Asians are good at math.
