Yes. Malcolm Gladwell loves to write about his own brilliantly uncovered anecdotes...
Peak loses a lot of that, and is co-authored by a psychologist who is behind a lot of more scientific work in the area of expertise (his work is also referenced in Outliers).
In general, I recommend people skip Outliers (really just skip Gladwell entirely) and read Peak instead.
