Outliers analyzes how success works. Gladwell offers a number of interesting ideas that he thinks define the successful. And surely, the rules are not universal, but some of his rules became so popular that hustle-culture groups made them their mottos: "No rest until 10 thousand hours."

Many heard about the "10 thousand hour" rule. That is, you need 10 thousand hours to become wildly successful in something. Gladwell didn't come up with it. It was this psychologist Anders Ericsson (published in 1993) who found that an elite violinist would accumulate around 10 thousand hours of practice before their 20s. Gladwell got the idea and popularized it. He gave the examples with The Beatles and Bill Gates. But Naval thinks it is not 10 thousand hours. But 10 thousand iterations that takes one to get successful. He said hours alone don't bring experience. One needed to have quality experience and learn from their mistakes to get successful. He also pointed out that it is not exactly 10 thousand surely. "10 thousand," I think, serves to represent that what it takes to get successful is a lot.

A very original approach to writing a book (but a one time read).
