Malcolm Gladwell's most recent book is a fascinating look into the stories of people who seem at first glance to be Outliers, those who rose to the top through an extraordinary talent, vision, and intelligence. But Gladwell's argument is that ambition and talent alone is not what made the Bill Gates of the world.

Well, I drive a Civic, so it works for me.
