We start with another episode of Bibliotequeando. As always, I am your host Ricardo Lugo, at Bibliotequeando on the networks.

You can also subscribe to the Bibliotequeando blog, where I write different articles about different topics of the books that we do in the podcast and others that are not part of this list. The link is found in the description of this podcast or in the link of the social media accounts. Today I bring you an excellent book called Outlier, a book of self-help, psychology and sociology. The term Outlier is an English term used in statistics, which basically means something out of the box, something exceptional, something way above average.
This book was written by Malcolm Gladwell, a Canadian writer from the New Yorker magazine, who spent decades reporting on social sciences. And he realized that there was a mistake in what one determines what a talented person is. You realize that there were studies that showed that the exceptional people, the people who are way above the average, the best musicians, the best artists, the richest, the best athletes, really don't have as much natural talent as the average, but there are other external factors. that help them reach that level and we as a means of communication and we as people ignore those factors and we focus a lot on the story of that person who achieved it by himself when in truth that is never the case.
So the author tries to explain this concept of external factors and all the influence it has on individual results with the Rosetto mystery. The Rosetto mystery was a social problem A scientific question that for a long time did not have an answer. The name comes from a small town in Italy called Rosseto. As we all know, there was a lot of Italian emigration at the end of the 19th century, the beginning of the 20th century. The First World War, the Second World War were very turbulent periods and the Italians began to move a lot to all of Latin America, other parts of Europe and of course the United States. And this small town of Roseto was no exception. And the immigrants from that town founded a town called Roseto in Pennsylvania, a state in the northeast of the United States.
In this small town, the doctors realized that no one died here. Obviously, they weren't immortal, but everyone was getting old. No one died before 55, before 60 years old. There were no heart problems. No one had attention problems. Nothing happened. Everyone basically died of old age. Doctors and other people from the medical world were curious about what was happening here. They wondered, it must be that it is something in the Pennsylvania area, the forest, nature. And it wasn't like that. There were other nearby towns that did have many people with heart problems. They said, maybe these people don't drink, don't smoke. And for nothing. These Italian people, yes, they drank a lot of wine and smoked almost every day.
They wondered if they ate differently, if it was olive oil, but this region in Pennsylvania did not have olive oil. They used pig butter, which is worse for health.
