Outliers: The Story of Success is a non-fiction book by Malcolm Gladwell that examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success. Gladwell challenges the 'self-made man' myth by looking at family, culture, and birth dates. A famous example in the book is the 'relative age effect' in Canadian ice hockey players, where a disproportionate number of elite players are born in the first three months of the year because they were older and more developed than their peers during youth leagues.
