Outliers Summary of Key Points
Outliers unravels the logic behind why some people become successful, and others do not. It focuses on individuals who achieve a level of success – in math, sports, law, or any pursuit, really – that goes beyond the norm. They are the outliers. The book argues that success is intricately linked to the time and place of one’s birth and upbringing, and that successful people have had opportunities that have allowed them to work hard and succeed.
