This national bestseller examines the outliers, those who excel in particular ways. Is their success because they are brilliant? Or is it a combination of circumstances? In an accessible style, Malcolm Gladwell presents case studies from science, sports, feuding mountain folk, education, and more. His premise: successful individuals are more a product of the opportunities provided by environment, culture, situations, etc., and whether they seized those opportunities and worked hard. The combination of science, anecdotes and conversational tone make this a fascinating read. It may also expose personal misconceptions you have about success—and positively influence personal decisions as you educate your children. Note: some minor mild language as well as some potentially troubling situations are included. This edition includes notes, an index, an interview with author Malcom Gladwell, and reading group discussion questions. 321 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
