A Little Note on Gladwell's Outliers

There is nothing new under the sun. Such a proverb applies well to Outliers. Findings and insights discussed in the book are already discussed somewhere else. A case in point, the idea of brain malleability dated back to Urie Brofenbrenner in the early 1960s. However, the genius of Malcolm Gladwell lies on his ability to synthesize disparate facts and figures, and support them with strong reasoning and effective writing skills to make this book not only informative but highly inspirational. This book is a real example of how problem solving activities were done by the author.
