I believe that it applies to the non extreme wealth to a certain degree. To give a quick and dirty: 1. Ovary lottery (be born into an advantaged situation) 2. Opportunity (luck and timing) 3. Hard work This book definitely inspired me to work harder as that is what we have control over. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29</a> He goes through many aspects of how certain people achieved their extreme wealth.

I have read one of Malcolm Gladwells books, Blink. It was a requirement in my Honors English class at Skyline College and I appreciated the literature. I will see if they have it at the PX but unfortunately I highly doubt it as their selection is highly limited. Why do you suggest this book? Army Infantry Out!
