  • Hopeful. and after the last 8 years of the cluessless Bush Administration; without bashing and ideology he makes it plainly understandable for the easily distracted like myself Love the 10,000 hour rule! Gladwell is such an interesting thinker- is able to address "stereotypes" and why they are so; without being disparaging and how to learn from our mistakes, and change regardless of circumstances, genetics and cultural influences. Great intellectual exercise for our minds!

  • malcolm is an Outlier, he is very smart.

  • Debonair,

    He does state that one must be bright, have vision and work hard in order to achieve success. It is called the 10,000 hour rule. The book explains in a much clearer way. The time constraint of interviews such as these require brevity, and as a result there are omissions and simplifications, which in turn trivializes the complexity of Malcolm Gladwell's insights.

  • PERHAPS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ AND WOULD URGE MALCOM TO KEEP WRITING FOR US. HE SHOULD HAVE HIS OWN CHANNEL HERE TOO. THE WAY HE WRITES, AND HIS RESEARCH AND CORRELATIONS. THAT ALL makes me speechless.

  • @averageworkinggal

    Your name should be "galofaverageworkingknowledge"­.

  • @Debonair73

    You are talking in circles. Because these individuals would not reach that "point in their careers" without help along the way. Think about what "infrastructure" must be (and has been) provided to those who do "succeed". Malcolm quoted Jeb Bush who referred to himself as "a self made man". Really? The grandson of a Senator, son of a President and brother of a President.

  • @GVOWorldWide That's why there are so few outliers.

  • @itsy - Malcolm is MISSING HIS OWN POINT! The REAL factor is the 10k HOURS, ITSELF!

    You can have all the advantages, but, if YOU DO NOT APPLY THE 10K HOURS...NONE OF IT MATTERS!

    Everyone has advantages and disaadvantages....There are rich people who are BORN BLIND OR CRIPPLED...IT IS ALL PERSONAL

    YOU CAN'T EGALIGATE LIFE

    "All victories, start with personal victories" - Sun Tse

  • He makes great claims, so I did some quick research:

    Great sports people - can be born over many different years

    Yes - they have to work hard but they also need some great tutors and coaches

    Be a skeptic - dont just take his word for it

    He never states the contrary or shows the stats.

    A good journalist he maybe , but not a great scientist.

  • this video is funny to me

  • I agree with the 10,000 hours but most folk will not put 10 hours effort today ....then they it does not work....
