Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: THE STORYLINE of Success includes a summation of the publication, review, examination and key takeaways, and comprehensive "about the author" section. Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: THE STORYLINE of Success argues that success is not entirely the consequence of merit and effort. Rather, Gladwell says extremely successful people are successful because these were in the right place at the right time, or because they received critical help. In order to understand success, it's important to look not at the characteristics of the individual, but at the social and ethnic factors that allow success. Sports tend to be regarded as a uniquely meritocratic effort. People assume that the most physically talented athletes are the most successful. However, this is not true. In fact, in Canada, children whose birthdays show up right before the cut-off day for involvement in junior leagues have a huge benefit. These children are the oldest ones in their leagues, and so are most developed, and are more robust and faster than their peers. In Canada, this means that these are chosen to go into more advanced groups and leagues, and so get more practice and training. Because of this, almost all professional hockey players in Canada have birthdays clustered throughout the dates right before the youth group cut-offs. The professional players all have great ability, and all work hard. However, what truly made them outliers had not been work or skill, however the accident of their birthdays.
