Someday, Someday, Maybe: A Novel by Lauren Graham

January 19, 2016 by Elmien Ackerman

So, Lauren Graham (better known as Lorelai Gilmore) wrote a novel. I don’t know why it took me so long to find out about it. As soon as I did, I ordered it online, and finally read it. If you haven’t heard about it yet – here’s a short summary: Frances or Franny Banks is …

They’re products of particular places and environments.” – Malcolm Gladwell 🎧🎧🎧 Still busy devouring all things Gladwell. I’ve just finished his podcast Revisionist History, and I’m anxiously awaiting season 6. If you haven’t listened yet, I highly recommend it.

"Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. "Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good." – Malcolm Gladwell. 🎼👨‍💻🎧 In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell found that practice does make perfect. Through a unique set of circumstances and extraordinary opportunities, Mozart, Bill Gates, and The Beatles had extra time to practise and hone their skills, which allowed them to become a musical prodigy, an innovative visionary, and the most influential band of all time, respectively. 🎼👨‍💻🎧 #malcolmgladwell #malcolmgladwellquote #malcolmgladwelloutliers #malcolmgladwellbooks #practicemakesperfect #storyofsuccess #practicepracticepractice #practicmakesperfect #mozart #billgates #thebeatles #musicalprodigy #visionary #band #reading #bookworm #nonfiction #bookquotes

BOOK REVIEW (LINK IN BIO) Outliers: The Story of S BOOK REVIEW (LINK IN BIO) Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell 📈 📈 📈 In Outliers, Gladwell examines our understanding of success by looking at a successful person’s circumstances. From discovering that most all-star hockey players in Canada are born in January to finding out why successful lawyers in New York in the mid-1970s to the end of the 1980s were almost all Jewish, Gladwell shows how when we are born influences our chances of achieving success. 📈 📈 📈 Your place of birth is just as important as the decade in which you are born. Gladwell looks at why Korean Air had a track record of plane crashes in the 1990s, and what role cultural legacy had to play. Of course, when and where you are born, and the language you speak is not the only indicator of success. Gladwell explains that not every hockey player born in January ends up playing at a professional level. “Achievement is talent plus preparation,” Gladwell writes. But exactly how much preparation is needed? “Researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: ten thousand hours,” Gladwell explains. 📈 📈 📈 In Outliers, Gladwell argues that there is no such thing as a self-made man (or woman). Our place in history, our culture, language, geographic location, and circumstances, all influence the opportunities available to us. The factor we do have control over, however, is how hard we work. None of the outliers achieved success without putting in at least ten thousand hours. 📈 📈 📈 If you've read my blog, you'll know that I think #malcolmgladwellisagenius Dominic Maxwell explains it best: "The best kind of writer – the kind who makes you feel like you’re a genius, rather than he’s a genius." So, if you want to learn something new (and feel really smart🤓) read a Malcolm Gladwell book. Outliers gets 🦋🦋🦋🦋/5 from me. Blink is next on my list.
