《引爆趨勢》、《決斷2秒間》作者爆炸頭鬼才葛拉威爾，再度挑戰你對「成功」的常識，甫上市即攻占全美最重要媒體書榜第一名！你以為，這又是一本老生常談的成功學？No！葛拉威爾把成功學這樣的常數，變成了異數。亞洲人數學比較好，是因為祖先種稻？披頭四的音樂功力，是用超時工作換來的？音樂神童莫札特，其實是「大器晚成」的作曲家？大韓航空大幅降低失事率，竟是因為機長把英文學好了！成功和你想的不一樣！除了天賦、家世、學歷、努力還不夠，歐巴馬、比爾蓋茲、賈伯斯、巴菲特、王永慶、張忠謀、施振榮……這些人之所以超群成為「異數」，還牽涉周遭的人和環境。葛拉威爾引用大量統計科學辯證，大開我們的視野，重新發現「出身」的意義：誰能成功，多少人能成功，要看我們生活在什麼樣的社會。聰明才智、雄心壯志不足以恃，你需要超過一萬個小時的努力。投胎時機很重要，生逢其時，生對家庭，你的贏面比較大。成功不僅要有點運氣，最好幸運一直來敲門。一己之力絕對不夠，家人、貴人、陌生人，整個社會集體助你向上提升。共同點是：他們都是電子大亨，且都出生於1955年前後。但是，為什麼是1955年？如果你想在1975年個人電腦誕生那年做出一番轟轟烈烈的大事，要是你大學畢業很多年了，那你已經是老鳥，房子買了，老婆也娶了，小寶寶不久就要報到，怎有可能放棄穩定的工作，為玩具一樣的個人電腦拋頭顱、灑熱血？年紀太小又不成，那時你若還是中學生，就沒搞頭了。所以，能在1975年恭逢電腦革命風潮，年紀既不能太大，又不能太小，最理想的年齡則是20或21歲，亦即是1954年或1955年出生的人。也就是說，即使你具有像比爾蓋茲或史提夫．賈伯斯那樣的的天份，想成為異數，你還得生對時間！你從未真正看清楚屬於你的成功！葛拉威爾說：不是最聰明的人就可以成功，正確的決定或努力不懈，也不能保證；要成功，除了必須有把握「機會」的智慧、善用特有的「文化」遺澤；必要時，還得脫離部分的身分，擺脫傳統的束縛。本書中文版《異數》由時報文化出版In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most s
