Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell

<< < (6/6)

Maybe I quite like the style he writes, I just finished reading "What the Dog Saw". Then I found that I bought the whole series of his books: Outliers, Blink, Tipping Point and What the Dog Saw.

This book collects the articles he wrote on the newspaper, again they are easy to read and yet quite inspiring. Loads of social phenomena to contrast some views that we take for granted. Too many intelligence will lead to wrong judgement, the difference between panic and choke, plagiarism, criminal profiling, and the wrong of generalization, etc., all these topics gives a different view to some of the nowadays principles that we use to agree that's truth.

Interesting read. I like particularly the chapter about panic and choke, which gives a good analysis of the difference of these two by using professional tennis player and golfers. It explains totally about my behaviour when I play golf  ;D ;D

I have all his books, but have not yet read What the Dog Saw
