Monday Morning's Book Review--Outliers

Outliers: the story of success by Malcolm Gladwell--This book tackles the topic of what are those outliers that help people along the road to success. Gladwell writes with an easy style on a variety of topics--why are the majority of NHL players born in January, February or March? What access to Bill Gates' and other personal computer pioneers' success? Why did the Beatles make it when so many other bands don't...Stories we've heard about hard work are true, but what is the "outlier" that gets them there?
