뉴요커(The New Yorker) 수석 컬럼니스트인 말콤 글래드웰의 네번째 책입니다.
에피파니에서는 그의 전작중 "The Tipping Point", "Blink" 를 선정도서로 읽고 토론하였습니다.
제가 이 작가의 글을 좋아하는 이유는 세상을 보는 새로운 시각을 제공하기 때문입니다.
이번엔 "개가 본것"을 통해 또 어떤 시각을 제공할지 무지 기대가 됩니다.
Gladwell's first work, The Tipping Point, discusses the potentially massive implications of small-scale social events, while his second book, Blink, explains how the human subconscious interprets events or cues and how past experiences allow people to make informed decisions very rapidly. Outliers examines how a person's environment, in conjunction with personal drive and motivation, affects his or her possibility and opportunity for success. Gladwell stated,
The hope with
Tipping Point was it would help the reader understand that real change was possible. With
Blink, I wanted to get people to take the enormous power of their intuition seriously. My wish with
Outliers is that it makes us understand how much of a group project success is. When outliers become outliers it is not just because of their own efforts. It's because of the contributions of lots of different people and lots of different circumstances.
