David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOr should he have?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwellchallenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago. From there, David and Goliath examines Northern Ireland's Troubles, the minds of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms—all to demonstrate how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers—The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw—David and Goliath draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us., ISBN13: 9780316204361 ISBN10: 0316204366 Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46126453751971,"sku":"TN_STR_H0000932","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/61TIJofp1US.jpg?v=1754889720","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/david-and-goliath-underdogs-misfits-and-the-art-of-battling-giants","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
