Audie Award Victor, Non-Fiction, 2014 Malcolm Gladwell, the number-one best-selling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, and What the Dog Observed, offers his most provocative - and amazing - e book yet. Three thousand years back, on a battlefield in early Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with only a rock and a sling, and ever since then the brands of David and Goliath have stood for fights between underdogs and giants. David's triumph was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he have? In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell troubles how we think about road blocks and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or deal with a impairment, or lose a mother or father, or sign up for a mediocre college, or have problems with any number of other obvious setbacks. Gladwell commences with the real story of what occurred between the large and the shepherd boy those many years ago. Following that, David and Goliath examines North Ireland's Troubles, the brains of cancer analysts and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms - all to show how much of what is beautiful and important on the planet comes from what looks like struggling and adversity. In the custom of Gladwell's earlier best vendors, David and Goliath attracts upon history, mindset, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think about the world around us.
