Geniuses and Outsiders. Why Do Some Have Everything While Others Have Nothing?

An exciting journey into the world of the laws of life that you can use for your benefit.


Life is unfair. Money, power, fame, and success are distributed among people extremely unevenly. But why do some have everything while others have... nothing? Is it correct to reduce the reasons for success only to personal qualities bestowed by nature?


Malcolm Gladwell is the first to uncover the hidden laws behind what always seemed to be purely a matter of chance and lays them out in this book. These laws explain why outstanding hockey players are usually born in January and almost never in October, why Asian students find math easier than others, and why to become a prestigious New York lawyer, one needs to be Jewish.


The book shows what Bill Gates, the Beatles, and Mozart have in common and why they managed to surpass their peers.
