Malcolm Gladwell’s latest work, Outliers: The Story of Success, is great. His interview with Charlie Rose just scratches the surface of its content.
I love the section on expertise. What makes someone an expert? Research shows that expertise – in any given field – is reached only after a minimum of 10,000-hours, roughly 10-years, of practice. I’m into it.
Gladwell goes deeper on the subject of genius in his conversation with Robert Krulwich at the 92nd Street Y in New York. Robert Krulwich is a superior interviewer (sorry Charlie) and keeps the conversation flowing.
Main take away: live what you love.
