OUTLIERS is a book about success. It starts with a very simple question: what is the difference between those who do something special with their lives and everyone else? In OUTLIERS, we're going to visit a genius who lives on a horse farm in Northern Missouri. We're going to examine the bizarre histories of professional hockey and soccer players, and look into the peculiar childhood of Bill Gates, and spend time in a Chinese rice paddy, and investigate the world's greatest law firm, and wonder about what distinguishes pilots who crash planes from those who don't. And in examining the lives of the remarkable among us--the brilliant, the exceptional and the unusual--I want to convince you that the way we think about success is all wrong.

10 Reasons You Aren’t Achieving Success - lifehack.org
In the last couple of years, I’ve been reassessing some aspects of my life,
trying to figure out what had happened so I could rebuild. To some extent this has worked well — I have a job I love
(although I need to develop it into a career, not just a job), I have a book
coming out in my academic field, I’m writing quite a bit, and most importantly I
have a new relationship that is going strong. To get here, I’ve had to figure
out what I was doing wrong in the years in between, where I had lost my footing,
and I think I’ve figured out a thing or two in doing so.
