作品简介

来自《引爆点》和《眨眼》的畅销书作者的一本精彩的新书

人们为什么会成功？几个世纪以来，人类一直在努力解决这个问题，寻找完成伟大事业的秘密。在这本令人惊叹的新书中，马尔科姆-格拉德威尔带领我们进行了一次令人振奋的智力旅行，向我们展示了是什么造就了一个极端的成功者。

他揭示出，我们过多地关注成功者是什么样的人，而太少关注成功者来自哪里：他们的文化、他们的家庭和他们的世代。格拉德威尔研究了比尔-盖茨的职业生涯足球运动员的表现如何相似；战斗机飞行员和披头士乐队的共同点；为什么这么多律师是犹太人；为什么亚洲人擅长数学；以及为什么说解决了费马大定理的数学家不是天才是正确的。

正如他在《眨眼》中所做的那样，格拉德威尔颠覆了我们的许多传统观念，创造了一个全新的观察世界的模式。这部作品才华横溢，富有娱乐性，是一部具有里程碑意义的作品，将同时给人带来愉悦和启迪。

A brilliant new book from the bestselling author of The Tipping Point and Blink

Why are people successful? For centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great things. In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever.

He reveals that we pay far too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where successful people are from: their culture, their family, and their generation. Gladwell examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance of world-class football players are alike; what top fighter pilots and The Beatles have in common; why so many top lawyers ; why Asians are good at maths; and why it is correct to say that the mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius.

Just as he did in Blink, Gladwell overturns many of our conventional notions and creates an entirely new model for seeing the world. Brilliant and entertaining, this is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
