Both are Canadian authors, Malcolm Gladwell of Ontario, and Robin Sharma, a Nova Scotian.

Both I recommend to you, both are change-your-perspective kinda reads and both, despite their weighty messages, are easy to consume.
My favourite part in Outliers was the ’10 000 Hour Rule’, which I tweeted this about a little while ago, and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari re-inforced my theory that, in the winners-circle-of-the-world, they’re all getting up at 5am.
My favourite part of Outliers is the bit about hockey players and the time of the year in which they are born. As a December baby, this is pretty well a catch-all excuse for everything that I have failed to accomplish.
Ya that was neat eh, the time of year thing. So was the plane crash / communication thing.
And I like the honesty of your comment.
