@Eric Brown - I agree. It was fascinating at a personal level rather than his previous books that are more broadly focused. If you do the work and are excited about what you do, have a little luck from opportunities and great things can happen. I happen to believe that if you do the work and are excited about what you do, opportunities will find you.

I’m reading this book now and have to say I’m liking it. I’ve never been a huge Malcolm Gladwell fan but I do like his ability to tell a story. The book has some excellent stories about how people who have ‘made it’ got where they are.

Above all else…the book stress the fact that hard work and intelligence isn’t enough…you’ve got to have some luck on your side.
