Why are people successful? For centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great things. In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever. He reveals that we pay far too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where successful people are from. Gladwell examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance of world-class football players are alike; why so many top lawyers are Jewish; why Asians are good at maths; and, why it is correct to say that the mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius. Like "Blink", this is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

評分Introduction:緊密的community與三代同堂能減少突發心臟病機率。Roseto傢庭中,(外)祖父母享有很高的權威。心臟病患者中,本來就是高齡者多於低齡者。這樣的社區與傢庭模式也許有助於高齡者,但對於年輕的父母一代,他們可能會有與父母、公婆觀念難以融閤等的問題。該模式也僅適用於小鎮,一旦人口增加到一定程度,生活節奏加快,便很難維持見麵就與人噓寒問暖。該鎮也崇尚平等主義,富人不炫富,未成功人士的失敗也沒那麼顯眼。平等主義的宗旨是好的,但要把握度。一旦發展到很多左翼社會那樣,就變成懲罰勤勞、成功的人瞭。
評分Not as good as The Tipping Point
評分一言以蔽之,成功歸因於天時地利人和。
