Chris Langan: Smartest Man in America

     After reading chapters 3-4 of the Outliers and watching the 1 vs. 100 on Chris Langan I would definitely agree with the fact that Chris Langan is successful.  I believe if one is successful, one is happy.  If one is happy about his/her life, one is successful.  Chris Langan is a great example of a successful being.  Although he didn't graduate from college because his mother forgot to hand in a financial aid form, Chris Langan overcame this obstacle and currently lives a modest life.  With an IQ of 194, he could be rich if he wanted to but he chose his life on a farm.  Chris Langan lives a simple life compared to Bill Gates or any other famous intellectual.  He has potential and he is happy with his wife, Gina LoSasso.  I believe Chris Langan is successful because he is happy and content with his current life.
