David and Goliath

Gladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy. 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. In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers DAVID AND GOLIATH draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.
