Audio Book Recommendation: "Outliers"

Upon the recommendation of my son-in-law, I listened to an audio book (Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell) on my flight back home yesterday. It’s a masterful piece with a fantastic narrator. He talks about the Robber Barons of the 1800’s, Gates, Jobs, Bill Joy, Oppenheimer, The “Culture of Honor”, kids, feuds in Kentucky, Jewish Lawyers, opportunity, the NY garment trade, and 10,00 hours of practice - amongst other themes. Very clear and easy to listen to.
You can listen free if you have a library card and link it to a free app called "OverDrive". LINK

"Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" is also an excellent book by Malcolm Gladwell. It's probably on Audio also.

I love Gladwell's books. Outliers is his most popular. The Tipping Point is my favorite.
