There is a story that is usually told about extremely successful people, a story that focuses on intelligence and ambition. Gladwell argues that the true story of success is very different, and that if we want to understand how some people thrive, we should spend more time looking around them-at such things as their family, their birthplace, or even their birth date. And in revealing that hidden logic, Gladwell presents a fascinating and provocative blueprint for making the most of human potential.In The Tipping Point Gladwell changed the way we understand the world. In Blink he changed the way we think about thinking. In OUTLIERS he transforms the way we understand success.

"Inspiring. Mind-blowing discoveries about the human mind and personal capacity for success."

"Quite an interesting book Gladwell covers. He provides his researched explanations as to why people like Bill Gates and the like made such an impact on society yet others that may put the same efforts into it, didn't and won't. "

"I liked the entire thing and I still reference portions of the book to this day - though I read it over 5 years ago! I overall like Gladwell’s approach to his points of interest where he puts things in the context of a “bigger picture” and invites the reader to a think about the nature vs. nurture of successful people. :)"

"I picked up The Tipping Point by Gladwell and read a good chunk before I kinda dropped it but I hope to finish it soon! Kinda switched over to YA fantasy to help me get back into reading. Children of Blood and Bone has great worldbuilding and is quite the adventure!"
