OUTLIERS: THE STORY OF SUCCESS
A REVIEW
By Andrew Brown
Over the last decade

    the name Malcolm
    Gladwell has become
    synonymous with the
    genre of Pop-Sociology

    Outliers fits snugly in

    this genre.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A
GOOD WORK OF POP-SOCIOLOGY?

    Scientifically sound




    Comprehensible to the target audience




    Entertaining to the target audience




    Relevant to the target audience




    Well written

“Outlier” is a term used to

    describe things, people, or
    phenomenon that lie
    outside of normal
    experience.

    This book is concerned

    with people who are
    outliers in terms of
    success.
WHEN YOUR BORN MATTERS
    Of the seventy-five richest people of human history,

    fourteen were born between 1831 and 1840.

    To become a Computer Mogul, a person needed to

    be born between 1952 and 1958.
10,000 HOUR RULE
    To become an expert in

    something it takes
    10,000 hours of
    practice

    10,000 hours = 3

    hours/day x 10 years

    There are no prodigies

OTHER TOPICS

Chance


            influences
Cultural


         Influences
Class


            Vacation
Summer
STYLE
 Series   of anecdotes

     Several Digressions per story that explain

    the underlying factors

 Often   within the digestions in a story there is
    other related stories

 Towards     the end it becomes a manifesto for
    the fostering of success
POSITIVE ASPECTS
 Uses   sound data from reputable sources

 Covers a subject important to almost
 everyone, especially budding intellectuals
 about to start their careers.

 Combines research from many sources and
 uses them to create a fresh portrait of
 something so basic and well studied
POSITIVE ASPECTS
    It written plainly and clearly




    It is quick moving and highly entertaining




    Provides suggestions to increase the fostering of

    success
NEGATIVE ASPECTS
    Lacks level of proof necessary for a scientific work




    Some of the research is disputable




    Due to anecdote-based style Gladwell jumps from

    one topic to another
Read It!
GETTING LUCKY *BELONGS BETWEEN 6 AND 7, PROBABLY WON’T
                              BE SHOWN DUE TO TIME RESTRAINTS


    Bill Gates had access

    to a computing terminal
    as an eighth-grader in
    1968.

    He lived a couple miles

    from the University of
    Washington as a
    teenager.
