Gladwell

I read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell over Christmas break, and I would highly recommend it to anybody.  It was a great book about what factors contribute to how people become successful.  It goes beyond just determination and hard work by an individual and more into their personal life circumstances.  It is a very interesting read and includes stories about Bill Gates, The Beatles, and Olympic athletes just to name a few.  I would highly recommend that anyone read it. *****

I just finished reading my second book by Gladwell a couple weeks ago, Tipping Point.  This was also a good book but I didn't find it as entertaining as Outliers.  It is still very good and includes a lot of very interesting information, but I just thought there were some slow parts that brought my interest down.  This book focuses on how sociological changes influence our everyday lives and has many cool case studies to explain this phenomena.  It is a good read.  ****




Just thought I would pass along a few book recommendations for the masses...
