Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Outliers is a paper on what is required to become very successful at something - it makes no difference what the something is, the requirements for succes are the same.

At first I thought I'd read the book before, but it's 2008 original publication tells me different. The book is really a culmination of other peoples research as evidenced by the copious Notes in the back of the book - perhaps that's why I thought I'd already read it, because I'd already read the primary material.

At any rate this book summarizes the requirments for being very successful. Guess what, the primary requirement is hard work.

O.K., next story.
