Book details (JSON) ```json { "title": "Outliers", "authors": [ "Malcolm Gladwell" ], "publisher": "Little, Brown", "publishedDate": "2008-11-18", "description": "Learn what sets high achievers apart -- from Bill Gates to the Beatles -- in this #1 bestseller from \"a singular talent\" (New York Times Book Review). In this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of \"outliers\"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.", "image": "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=3NSImqqnxnkC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", "language": "en", "averageRating": 3.5, "ratingsCount": 4284, "categories": [ "Business & Economics" ], "pageCount": 320, "isbn10": "0316040347", "isbn13": "9780316040341", "googleBooks": { "id": "3NSImqqnxnkC", "preview": "http://books.google.com/books?id=3NSImqqnxnkC&printsec=frontcover&dq=intitle:Outliers+by+Malcolm+Gladwell&hl=&cd=1&source=gbs_api", "info": "https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=3NSImqqnxnkC&source=gbs_api", "canonical": "https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=3NSImqqnxnkC" } } ```
