On this episode of Book Wise, host Britt Brewer, A.K.A. “Dr. Books,” takes a call from a listener debating one of the timeless questions: is success more about talent or hard work?
Dr. Books’ top recommendation to settle the debate is Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. We break down success stories and answer questions like: What led to Fleetwood Mac's record-breaking success? Could Mozart rely solely on his prodigious talent? And in the end, was all that hard work worth the brain injury for Rocky?
If you're intrigued by what truly drives success, you won't want to miss this episode!
