The Story of Success
Malcolm Gladwell - 2008-11-18
Goodreads Rating
This book explores the world of high-achievers and what makes them different. Gladwell argues that we focus too much on successful people themselves and not enough on the unique culture, family, and experiences that set them apart. From software billionaires to great soccer players, Gladwell explores what factors contribute to exceptional success. The book is both entertaining and thought-provoking, making it a must-read for anyone interested in achieving greatness.

I was reading Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, and he talks about the concept of 10,000 hours. That you don't really settle into any level of mastery until 10,000 hours, and I feel like I've just completed my 10,000 hours of story structure and filmmaking.      source

One of my favourite books is the Alchemist of Paolo Coelho, and I just believe that I can create whatever I want to create, if I will put my head on right, study it, learn the patterns. I just feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be.      source

I wanted my kids to read this book in order to be able to have a financial comprehension to not be slave to the work and money, the way my mind has been for a really long time.      source
