*Outliers: The Story of Success* is a book by **Malcolm Gladwell**, published in 2008.

In *Outliers*, Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success. He argues that individual achievement is not solely the result of personal qualities or hard work but is also influenced by external factors such as culture, timing, and opportunities. The book explores various case studies and examples, including the “10,000-Hour Rule,” which suggests that achieving mastery in a field requires approximately 10,000 hours of practice. *Outliers* provides insights into how environmental and social factors play a significant role in determining success.
