Book Recommendation: Outliers

" The three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying and meaningful are: autonomy, complexity and a connection between effort and reward."- Malcolm Gladwell In Outliers.
Picked up this book by Gladwell(his latest) called Outliers. It is such an insightful read. In case you haven't read any of Gladwell, you must do, they provide insight and dimensions to ordinarily accepted phenomenon.
In Outliers he questions the really famous and successful people(like Gates) and probes into what makes them so successful. The answers extremely hard work( 10,000 hours), getting the right opportunities( luck) and the right cultural legacy.
The best of Gladwell: He weaves stories to make his point. Strong stories that stick. Makes his books so riveting and drives the point home.
A point he makes about why Asians are ordinarily better at math(with a few tweaks): "We sometimes think of mathematics as an innate ability. You either have it or you don't. But mathematics is not so much ability as attitude. You master mathematics if you are willing to try. Success is the function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard for 22 minutes to make sense of something that most people give up after 30 seconds".
From my experience, that 's pretty much true for everything.
Loved the book.
