Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell Why we recommend it:  All of Gladwell’s books are exceptional reads, but Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is our all-time favorite.  If you only read one book, this is it.  His specific gift is in taking complex research and concepts and explaining them in an easy to understand way.  Most importantly, when you read his work, you can start applying the lessons in your own situations.

Book Overview:  In this stunning book, Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of “outliers”–the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.  Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
