â€œWhatâ€™s good, if brief, is twice as good.â€ â€“ Baltasar Gracian

Don't you hate it when you've always wanted to read a book but never able to quite find the time?
Or do you just want to extract the key ideas of a book without having to spend weeks and months reading through it all?

Fret not!

Welcome to Top Line Summaries, brought to you by BrevityBooks Publishingâ„¢ - encapsulating the core concepts, big ideas and best bits from all your favourite business and leadership, personal development and self-help bestselling books.

In an age where personal time is more limited than ever, our core belief is that â€˜being brief is best.â€™ Whether in business or at home, BrevityBooks Publishingâ„¢ will get you on the express road to success!

Have you always wanted to know the secret to success and how to become an overachiever â€“ or â€˜outlierâ€™ â€“ in your chosen field?
An outlier is:
1) Something that is situated away from or classed differently from a main or related body.
2) A statistical observation that is markedly different in value from the others of the sample.
Why do some people achieve so much more than others? How can they lie so far out of the ordinary? In a series of case studies, Malcolm Gladwell looks at everyone from rock stars to professional athletes, software billionaires to scientific geniuses, to show that the story of success is far more surprising, and far more fascinating, than we could ever have imagined.
Gladwell insists that successful people â€œare invariably the beneficiaries of hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies that allow them to learn and work hard and make sense of the world in ways others cannotâ€, and as such great men and women are beneficiaries of specialization, collaboration, time, place, and culture. An outlierâ€™s recipe for success is not personal mythos but the synthesis of opportunity and time on task.
This must-read book really does overturn conventional wisdom about genius to show us what makes an ordinary person become an extreme overachiever.
