Outliers
by Malcolm Gladwell
In this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual
journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the
most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes
high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to
what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they
are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the
idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains
the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer
player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the
greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark
work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
Big Panda and Tiny Dragon embark on a journey through the seasons of the
year together. They get lost, as many of us do. But while lost, they
discover many beautiful sights they'd never have found had they gone the
right way. Told through a series of beautiful drawings and quiet,
sometimes silly, conversations, the panda and the dragon explore the
thoughts and emotions, hardships and happiness that connect us all. In
nature, they learn how to live in the moment, how to be at peace with
uncertainty, and how to find the strength to overcome life's obstacles
together.
