David and Goliath
Categories: Self-Help
Malcolm Gladwell starts with a new reading of the fight between David and Goliath and argues that what look like disadvantages, from a disability to the loss of a parent, can become sources of strength. His 2013 book draws on stories from Northern Ireland's Troubles, the work of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, and the dynamics of classrooms. Using history and psychology, Gladwell asks how underdogs win and why the powerful are often weaker than they seem.

- Shane Parrish: “This is Gladwell’s best book. Gladwell’s writing is getting better, something I didn’t think possible. Yes, I’ve read Chris Chabris’ scathing review in the Wall Street Journal as well as other criticisms against the book.”
