Jim's Review
Gladwell is the kind of writer who makes you feel smarter just by burrowing through his pages. The 10,000-hour rule alone will change how you think about practice and talent. Jim especially loves the bit about hockey players and birth months — turns out even worms born in the right season have an advantage. It's breezy, thought-provoking, and the perfect gateway drug for anyone new to pop psychology.
