Great book with historical and biblical contexts. bigger, smarter, stronger is relative to comparative similarity/differences and purpose.

Reading this book now, pretty disappointed because I liked his other book Outliers but this falls short.

Too bad!

I‘m a big fan of Malcolm Gladwell & his books. I enjoy his insights & connections he makes to different experiences to psychology or educational based theories. This book explores people that are considered underdogs in our society & how they can overcome their obstacles. Although some people still have many other obstacles in place that can make success difficult, some people can find advantages in their perceived disadvantages. The book explores

ncsufoxes different moments in time: like the Civil Rights Movement, policing programs that try to use unconventional methods to help juveniles, CA 3 strikes law, & successful adults with dyslexia & the way they could push boundaries to use their disability to their benefit. #bookspin book 1y

I finished this and then looked at the publish date (2013) - it could have been published this year since no example is lessened by nearly 10 years. Malcolm has such a thought provoking way of making a point through his use of statistics and example. The chapters on class size, on dyslexia, and 3-strikes laws will stay with me. I‘ll forever more consider David as the expert sharpshooter of his day. …I‘ve now read all the Gladwell canon!

Book 140

I listened to David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants for a book club. The examples are shallow, trite, and weak. I don't recommend reading this. ⭐⭐

JanuarieTimewalker13 Outliers was good, if you haven‘t read it already. I may have bailed on this one. Yup, I think I did. (edited) 3y

Any book that helps you see your challenges from a different perspective is a worthy read. Gladwell‘s analogies are simple but full of clarity. #motivates #maycharacters @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I am feeling a lot like David dealing with the Unemployment office, Golliath.
