In this wide-ranging third installment of Malcolm Gladwell's exploration of how people and social phenomena work, the New Yorker journalist takes a close look at what constitutes high levels of success. That is, what makes people at the top of their respective fields get there? As we've come to expect from Gladwell's previous books, the answer to the question is a bit complicated.

He says that upbringing, culture and even random luck have something to with success, but there is another important quality that anyone can control. Two chapters are dedicated to the "revelation" that IQ is only a baseline quality and success has little to nothing to do with having a high IQ or a low IQ. Rather, success is substantially a product of cultivating a high degree of what Robert Sternberg calls "practical intelligence" or what most refer to as "emotional intelligence."

Gladwell uses the example of Nobel laureates coming from unknown schools as often as ivy league schools. At this level of mastery IQ is no longer a factor. Success has little to do with where you were educated and everything to do with your level of practical/emotional intelligence and willingness to put in the 10,000 hours of practice required to reach mastery of your field.

All in all, it's an interesting read that isn't too heady and goes by pretty quickly, as the interesting anecdotes are what you would expect from Gladwell.

读后感

阅读《Outliers》的过程中，我一直在反复的思考这个问题，我究竟为何要读这样一本书？ 因为10000小时法则？这是学者好久之前就调查出来的结论。除此之外还有什么？看作者如何鼓吹英才教育的重要性？如果你家境不是太好，你他妈的就直接出局了？如果你出生的年代不好，也可以直...  

这是一本关于“成功学”的书，确实成功学中的异类！作者对成功途径的寻找在百万成功学中寻找到了一个外在的突破：成功并不仅仅只是单凭个人努力就可以实现的。 作者提到了一个目前广为人知的关键：10000小时的精细化训练和努力。在这一点上，作者提到比尔盖茨的例子，提到夹克...

这本书真的比前一本啃的有趣多了，发现原版书比中文更有意思哈 不明白为什么那么多人都只看到一万小时那件事情,其实这个作者更多的表达的是成功更多的是先天,机遇巧合还有坏境所造成的,成长的环境更为重要点,其实很多人读完他这书还是会蛮绝望的吧...
