Fascinating Very interesting look at who succeeds and why. Skill is not always the case. When you were born effects being a professional athlete, where your family is from effects academics. There are so many variables besides intelligence, talent, and skill. Very very interesting look at people I haven't read it for a long time. But it helps to know what a left handed smart person thinks like. However in Outliers he talks too much about situations the average person could never relate to. Brilliant! I am seeing the world with new and hopeful eyes.
“Outliers” has much in common with Gladwell’s earlier work. It is a pleasure to read and leaves you mulling over its inventive theories for days afterward. It also, unfortunately, avoids grappling in a few instances with research that casts doubt on those theories. This is a particular shame, because it would be a delight to watch someone of his intellect and clarity make sense of seemingly conflicting claims. The world for Gladwell is a text that he reads as closely as he can in seeking to decode and interpret it. He is adept at identifying underlying trends from which he extrapolates to form hypotheses, presenting them as if they were general laws of social behaviour. But his work has little philosophical rigour. He's not an epistemologist; his interest is in what we think, rather than in the how and why of knowledge itself. The book, which purports to explain the real reason some people — like Bill Gates and the Beatles — are successful, is peppy, brightly written and provocative in a buzzy sort of way. It is also glib, poorly reasoned and thoroughly unconvincing.

The best-selling author of Blink identifies the qualities of successful people, posing theories about the cultural, family, and idiosyncratic factors that shape high achievers, in a resource that covers such topics as the secrets of software billionaires, why certain cultures are associated with better academic performance, and why the Beatles earned their fame.

Most enjoyed the sections about the Beatles and Korean co-pilots (something quite horrifying about black box recordings though!)
The book gives you quite a humbling feeling and makes you take stock of how lucky you are.
Parenting lessons from the book (don't take this too seriously)
1) Get your kids playing piano from 3 years old, by the time they're 20 they'll have 10,000 hours of practice.
2) Teach your kid Chinese/Korean/Japanese so maths is easier for them.
