Synopsis "Outliers: The Story of Success "

Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary? Malcolm Gladwell looks at everyone from rock stars to scientific geniuses to show that the story of success is far more surprising, and inspiring, than we ever imagined. 'Malcolm Gladwell ... has a genius for making everything he writes seem like an impossible adventure' Tim Adams, Observer'The best kind of writer - the kind who makes you feel like you're a genius, rather than he's a genius' Dominic Maxwell, The Times'I wanted to cheer or clap' William Leith, Evening Standard'Fizzingly entertaining and enlightening' Harry Ritchie, Daily Mail

Malcolm Gladwell (Fareham, September 3, 1963) is a Canadian journalist, writer, and sociologist, son of a Jamaican psychologist and an English mathematics professor. Although born in England in 1963, at the age of six (1969) he moved with his family to Canada, where he was raised. At the University of Toronto, he graduated in History (1984) and, after being rejected by several advertising agencies, began his journalism career at a magazine in Indiana, The American Spectator. From there he moved to The Washington Post (1987-1996), where he spent nearly a decade, first in the Science section and then as head of the New York bureau for business.

By then he began reading academic research in sociology and psychology in search of ideas for reports, something that underpins much of his work and sparks many controversies in the sense that he tends to highlight the most documented exceptions to the rules of general opinion. In 1996 he started working at The New Yorker.
