Fareed Zakaria Interviews Malcolm Gladwell

One of my favorite journalists Fareed Zakaria interviews Malcolm Gladwell about his new book Outliers. I just love his perspective on talent. He believes it's a direct result of practice IE "hard work = talent" and his example using The Beatles is really thought provoking. I think that there is still a component of nature that plays into it but the idea that talent is a byproduct of practice is far more empowering! Loved his book The Tipping Point, can't wait to read this one.

A seperate interview with Anderson Cooper also interesting
