It is a story of success. It is a common misconception, I think, that people accredit Gladwell with the ten thousand hour rule. While Gladwell discusses the rule in his book, I think his tenant is that success is much more than just practice by the individual. Social and circumstantial settings contribution much to a person's chance of having success. It is an influential book and I strive to read Gladwell's other books.
Trivia: Malcolm Gladwell is an excellent distance runner. He has a very impressive mile time at well under 5-minutes by some accounts.
