I’m currently whipping through Malcom Gladwell’s Outliers: The Story of Success.
It is the shit.
I love this man. His books are incredible and so insightful, you need to check them all out. Easy to read and understand, yet so powerful. Fascinating… I could go on and on.
It’s interesting to identify yourself in some of his books (Tipping Point–I’m a Maven) and it looks like I’ve got the makings of a moderate Outlier so far.
I will spare you the details of this book as the Amazon summary does a better job, but so far I am loving it and recommend it to all my friends. And everyone.
This guy is pure gold. I brought up his book The Tipping Point in my job interview and BAM! I got the job!
Was it magic?
If you’re interested in his other books, these are the ones that I’ve read:
- Outliers: The Story of Success
- The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
- Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
PS. If you buy them (and you should!) I will get some pennies from Amazon’s Associate program! Help a gal out and get some great reading material!

oooh very cool! I love his books as well, but haven’t come across this one yet. i’m putting in a reminder to pick it up – thanks 🙂 (and when i do, i’ll give you pennies and go through your link! you know i love ya)
They really are fantastic books. I didn’t believe it when my dad told me to read them, but I was surprised!
Personally I think Tipping Point and Outliers are my faves so far. Blink is awesome too, but the others are more relevant to me 🙂
I need to do a search and see what else he has written!
