Outliers

I finished "Outliers: the story of Success" by Malcolm Gladwell today.
It was the first English book I read in two days completely! It reminded me the teenager's addition to reading books without any stop! I was book worm actually!

This book was thought-provoking and insightful. I really enjoyed of the multidimensional approach of Gladwell to the notion of success.
I mean that his approach to the success was not unilateral, overlooking various several impressive factors. It was also a very good sample in English writing for me, as a recent reader in English language. Especially, the beginning of the book was astonishing. The style of writing was engrossing and engaging.

I mostly liked the discussion about putting 10000 hours on "anything" and be global master in it. In addition, the engaging argument about the language and culture differences in in airoplanes' crushes was so intriguing for me.
I will undoubtedly start reading his other books soon.
