E88 Book Club 9: Outliers

Malcolm Gladwell challenges the notions of how we view success. It doesn't exist in a vacuum and is typically the byproduct of little coincidences that combine into the outliers we know and love. Guiding questions: 1. What is in my environment currently that I can leverage for my success? 2. Am I putting in the time/effort to reach my goals? 3. What poor habits have I picked up that are limiting me? 4. What innovation is on the horizon in our society that I can begin to utilize now? SUBSCRIBE & JOIN THE INTELLECTUAL FAM!!
