I just finished reading this book today and I loved it! It's a must read. Malcolm Gladwell makes so many connections that people never even think about. But he puts it forward so straight and simple to make perfect sense. The book is about Success and how people come to be successful. I won't say much about it because you need to read it, but it will surprise you to find out just how people do become successful. He puts it in the context of opportunity and cultural legacy, which we so often put in the context of pure talent and genious.

Gladwell has also written Blink and The Tipping Point, my other two FAVORITE books. He just gets you really thinking about things and how they work. It's fascinating to me. Gladwell writes for The New Yorker and I plan to catch up on all of his columns real quickly.
