I am a huge fan of Malcom Gladwell and his style of writing. I found out about this book from one of my friends yesterday and the subject matter as explained to me had me captivated. The book is called outliers It is a study of the some of the most successful personalities from various sectors of life and a peak at the series of events that led them to where they are today. Most of us believe that we can replicate someone else's success to a formula. A lot more of us have even tried it.
For example this book looks at how a series of somewhat minute events led to the non accidental path taken by Bill Gates to be where he is today. For example, the purchase of a computer for his community and the fact the he lived near one of the only universities that had a computer lab.
If that picks your curiosity have a look inside the book on the link below. Buy it read it and share your thoughts!
