Extensive research went in to telling the stories of successful people and dispels the myth that you have to be born to the right family or have an expensive education to be successful. It was intriguing to learn why the Beatles became the phenomenal band they were, and what started Bill Gates on the path that led to his success. What year, or what time of the year you're born can have a dramatic impact on your potential for success. A fascinating book that weaves various individual stories in a way that makes you want to read more. I was sorry to reach the last page.

A very interesting and debatable topic! I personally would feel defeated if I thought the only way to achieve success was through luck and your birthday! Hard work along with natural ability should be most important which is why people should be encouraged to follow their instincts after being introduced to all possibilities. If one path doesn't work out, people should be encouraged to try another until they find where they belong. Life is not always easy.............

Outliers is a great book. A little less scientific then some other books on theory and success but well worth the read. Its easy to understand the concepts and the real world examples are excellent. The additional stories from "real" people make the reading very interesting. I highly recommend this book. Check out the authors other titles when you have a chance.

I got this book out on a limb because I wanted to read an interesting non-fiction psychology book but wasn't sure which one to choose. I did little research and came across "Outliers". I chose the book, hoping for the best but not knowing what to expect, and the best is what I received.

Received the book in good situation, readable, no dust, few highlights (but as non-english speaker, found them very useful), I didn't want to review now (then realized that the book's review is different from the product's state rating xD). I liked it, thanks!
