Outliers: The Story of Succes

Were the Beatles an overnight success? Was Bill Gates in the right place at the right time? Why are successful Canadian hockey players mostly born in January and February? Rather than examining the characters of successful people, some famous, others you may not have heard of, Gladwell looks at their background, where they are from and their culture.
A book that changed my perspective and where I first heard about the 10,000 hour principle, theorised by K Anders Ericsson. There’s plenty of debate on this theory, but Outliers certainly popularised the theory and brought it into the mainstream.

The Master Key System by Charles Haanel was first published in 1916. It’s now in the public domain, so it’s available from various sources.
There’s also good app for the i-phone and iPad costing around $3 called Self Help Classics that contains this great book and other classics such as Think and Grow Rich, The Power of Concentration and The Science of Getting Rich.
The Complete Master Key System brings the book into the modern day and expands on the principles laid down by Haanel. The original text is also contained at the back.
