by Save Time Summaries

This is not the actual book David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell. Do not buy this summary & analysis if you are looking for a full copy of this enlightening book, which can be found back on the Amazon search page.

In David and Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants , author Malcolm Gladwell once again challenges conventional ways of thinking by providing paradigm-shifting examples of how things are not always what they seem. In Outliers , he challenged the notion of innate talent; in The Tipping Point , he showed that trends do not start by accident; and in Blink , he demonstrated why first impressions are often the most correct ones.

Malcolm Gladwell’s books all have an air of rebelliousness to them, a sense of sticking a thumb in the eye of widely accepted mainstream thought. David and Goliath is no exception. Again and again, Gladwell provides evidence that our assumptions about power, authority, strength, advantages, and disadvantages might be completely backwards.

Classic Malcolm Gladwell. Haven't read a book of his yet that I didn't like and this one didn't disappoint. Having said that, for some reason it wasn't my favorite Gladwell book but very well researched and I'm looking forward to his next book already.

Never a bad thing to read the latest Malcolm Gladwell. Although Outliers remains by favorite, this one was darn good too! Stories of people who've turned misfortune/challenges into the reason for their success. Hope for anyone to whom success doesn't come easily!

This is another typical Malcolm Gladwell. I am one of his fans. The take on events and people are enlightening. Much what he wrote is thought provoking.
If this is your thing I highly recommend it.

Loved it. Lots to think about regarding given truths we've always held. Great for teachers to read.

We listened to this on a road trip. It had some interesting ideas and we really enjoyed listening to it. Sometimes his conclusions are a bit of a stretch, though.
