I've purposely avoided this dude. But now I'm interested in his work. Ever would the best place to start?

I read Outliers which is pretty cool. But I have a feeling all of his books are fairly similar anecdotal stories and then some hard stats to back up positions about statistical analysis, sociological occurrences, human psychology etc.

So most of his books follow the same formula?

His premises just seemed unrealistic.
10000 hrs? Why not 15000? Or 5000?
I don't know. Maybe I give his books a try.

My best friend really enjoyed his book titled Tipping Point. I've never read the book myself, but he did give me some excerpts. Can't remember right now, as that was long ago.
