Outliers: The story of success, of Malcolm Gladwell

The book approaches success and failures from a different point of view of the common sense. The writing is on point. Malcolm is a great story teller and presents the subjects clearly and easy to follow.

Probably these subjects can be explained with less pages, but it is nice to read non fiction stories with a fiction language, it is like reading a novel.

I love the small pieces in the chapters, it allows me to read like eating nuggets of knowledge.
The subjects are very interesting and for sure enriches your culture.

The last chapter reserves you a surprise!

The “Table of contents” speaks for itself.
