Gladwell expands from Outliers in this book that success through hard-working generations is not linear, in fact, it is an inverted u-curve (parabolic). "People are ruined by challenged economic lives, but they are ruined by wealth as well because they lose their ambition, pride and self-worth.It’s difficult at both ends of the spectrum. There is some place in the middle that works best of all."
