Outliers: Why Some People Succeed and Some Don’t
Why it’s on the list: Malcolm Gladwell’s study of what produces high achievers, popularizing the “10,000 hours” rule — the idea that mastery takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice.
Where I saw it: Cited in On the Nature of Long-Term Holds, where the authors invoke Gladwell’s 10,000-hour threshold to estimate that an entrepreneur needs four to five years to become a proficient CEO.
