Maybe she had just read the book. I can't remember if she gave a source for the info or not though. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I might have to check out his books because it sounds really interesting now that I know what he writes about. I must admit I don't read pop psychology stuff. It interests me but I've never read a book on the topic.Ameehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367469639810419455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-70848877448861981822008-12-01T08:45:00.000-06:002008-12-01T08:45:00.000-06:00This is one I really want to read!

I love Malcolm Gladwell -just ask Amee and Steph! If you go to ColbertNation.com you can check out all of his appearances on the Colbert Report. There's also a great speech he gave regarding spaghetti sauce on youtube. He has the nicest voice. Anyway, I was definitely intrigued by the concept of the book once I heard about it. Doesn't he say that there is a minimum amount of hours (numbering in the thousands) that one must put into a skill before they can say they've mastered it? You mentioned that one's upbringing is important to what they will become -that reminds me of Hillary Clinton's book "It Takes a Village" and I do love me some Hil Dawg. Great review and thanks for it!Tarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905521278112853549noreply@blogger.com
