This book was really fascinating and some parts were close to mind blowing but in the end I feel like it just reiterated the obvious fact that if you want to be successful you have to work hard. Still, I feel that I've learned a lot and definitely have gained a comprehensive knowledge of how success works. My favorite bit of the book was the “10,000 hour rule” chapter because I am currently studying Japanese and it's motivating to know that if I just keep studying and working hard for 10,000 hours, I could become an expert. Thanks Malcolm Gladwell! :D

P.S. The chapter on plane crashes COMPLETELY reminded me of Cabin Pressure
