Malcolm Gladwell Author David vs Goliath
Through various stories provided in this book, Malcolm Gladwell provides an extraordinary insight into every day people who appear on the surface to have limitations. In fact, those limitations turn out to be a benefit to those people’s successes. A very good read with a number of ’Aha!’ moments.

Great Book!
I recently read David and Goliath and I must say that it is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. The book is about how underdogs can win against all odds. It's full of interesting stories that keep you engaged throughout. The author, Malcolm Gladwell, has a way of telling stories that makes you feel like you're right there with him. He uses real-life examples to illustrate his points and makes it easy for the reader to understand complex concepts.The book is divided into three parts: "The Advantages of Disadvantages (and the Disadvantages of Advantages)," "The Theory of Desirable Difficulty," and "The Limits of Power." Each part contains several chapters that explore different aspects of the main theme.One of the things I liked most about this book is that it challenges conventional wisdom. For example, Gladwell argues that being a big fish in a small pond is better than being a small fish in a big pond. He also argues that sometimes what we perceive as disadvantages can actually be advantages in disguise.Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about how underdogs can win against all odds. It's an easy read and it's full of interesting stories that will keep you engaged from beginning to end.

Whole Thing Is Not About Weakness, About Misfitting to the Situation
Gladwell is building a pattern on a story; which is told many centuries by members of three religions and mostly understood wrongly. When he starts to give his examples he come and forward to reassure you this was all about war between a shepherd and a giant. Every given example is quite intriguing, so you may follow parts of this book willingly and wisdomly.
