Outliers

"Blink" lost my interest immediately, and I didn't get all that swept up by "The Tipping Point". Malcolm Gladwell's new "Outliers" is a fantastic and persuasive read about success, what really goes into it and what can be done when opportunity presents itself. 

I especially liked the chapters that study cultural mores and habits as contributors to success within specific contexts. Thanks, Robert and Annie, for my copy. Read the whole thing on one plane trip -- couldn't put it down.
