How NOT to be a Miserable Cow Alison Capra A gypsy's guide to life, love and the pursuit of happiness for a clever girl with a big heart, passion for life, and strong convictions. Too often we release "bad behavior" to personality types or even our upbringing. On my quest for personal growth, I have identified what's making us ugly people, and if we refuse to to identify them within ourselves we will become a Miserable Cows. www.alisoncapra.com Explicit Outliers: The Story of Success Free Education 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.
