BATB score: 8.5/10

Outliers like Bill Gates are merely ordinary people who got lucky, who got an opportunity to get a head start, and who completed 10,000 hours diligently.

Best for: 'Your success today owes up to whether your great grandpapa was a farmer.' If this statement, made you go "huh?" or "wad?", then go read this book.

Best as: a reminder that maybe all those cool people (Taylor Swift, Mark Zuckerburg, Isaac Newton) just got lucky.

Best to: tell people that you have read "Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell" - it makes you look 10X more intellectual 🤓
