Description

Outliers: The Story of Success digs into the factors that contribute to high levels of success. Gladwell examines why the majority of Canadian ice hockey players are born in the first few months of the year, how Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates achieved his wealth and how the Beatles became one of the most successful musical acts in human history.

The book mentions the “10,000-Hour Rule”, claiming that the key to achieving world-class expertise in any skill, is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing the correct way, for a total of around 10,000 hours. It is the exposure and opportunity those above had that allowed them to reach these 10,0000 hours in a shorter period.
