Focusing on Outliers: Explores The Hidden Forces Behind Successful People | The Recipe for Success Unfolded - Book 2 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary?

No one starts with nothing. Rags-to-riches stories fool us because although they may be factually true—you may start your life poor and finish it rich—they leave out all the advantages of circumstances that contribute to success. Further, they make us believe that success is an individual achievement. But no one succeeds alone.

Focusing on Outliers explains why “the self-made man” is a myth and what truly lies behind the success of the best people in their field, which is often a series of lucky events, rare opportunities and other external factors, which are out of our control.

Therefore, I expected the book to be about deliberate practice and how success is in your own hands, if you work hard enough. Boy, was I wrong. The book argues the exact opposite.
