Outlier updated

I shouted about the new book by malcolm gladwell this morning (Outliers), promising to refine my commentary on the book later today. My refinement is a distillation of 3 reasons i think it is an important book for agents of change and society in general: (1) it debunks the bubblegum theory of success and culturial biases-that success is destiny or not entirely free will-and puts responsibility for success back onto success enablers and those who would be successful, (2) it suggests practical ways that we can make widespread and powerful social change; how we might go about bringing more socio-economic balance to society, and (3) it is an inspirational and fascinating read, even if you are not planning to bring about social change before tomorrow’s tea. Get the book and give the book.
