Gladwell’s most recent bestseller (Outliers: The Story of Success) is well worth the time – some great insights on what it takes to succeed.

The hard work piece you already know (hopefully). It’s the impact of luck and culture that are pretty fascinating.

Here’s…

• the author’s Q&A on the book (it’s his site – the excerpts there are a bit weak)
• the prologue to the book (the publisher’s site – an interesting story about community and its impact on health)
• a 3-minutes video clip where Gladwell talks about the front work that goes into the "overnight success"
