Outliers was definitely an interesting book. I actually stopped reading it from time to time to reflect and absorb the information.
It uncovers the stories behind the success. It helps explain that it is the time and opportunities help to determine success as much or as well as the taking advantage of the opportunities.
It also covers the cultural differences that explain why some cultures are better in math and science than others.
I fought it to be a thought provoking an interesting read. I have also just handed it off to my eldest son to read.
