All Booked Up Reads Outliers for May
Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers: The Story of Success, is the book club choice for May. Pick up a copy at the Circulation Desk and join the group on Wednesday, May 5th at 6:30p.m. for a great discussion.From the Publisher
In this stunning new audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
