Hachette Books has also given me five copies of Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point, just in time for that perfect holiday gift. Here’s a brief description of the book:

In this stunning new 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.

To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. (Only one entry per person, please.) This contest is open to US and Canadian residents only (no PO Boxes, please). I will use random.org to determine the winners. Contest ends at midnight EST, Saturday, December 6, 2008. Winners will be announced here on Sunday, December 7.
