David and Goliath: Underdog, Misfits, and The Art of Battling Giants by Malcolm Gladwell

How ‘bout a thought-provoking non-fiction bestseller to kick off 2017 on a positive note?

Before you decide whether or not picking up this book is worth it, just spend 15 minutes watching its brilliant author Malcolm Gladwell, who also brought us other bestselling books such as The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers, on TED Talks here

David and Goliath is Gladwell’s take on how underdogs and misfits are capable of battling giants, just like the ancient tale from 3,000 years ago, of how David, a young shepherd boy with only a sling emerged victorious against Goliath the giant.

Based on the similar tradition of his previous works, Gladwell explores powerful story-telling via real-life examples from business and sports to history and psychology to change our perception of challenges in our world.

This book explains how subjects ranging from losing a parent and solving a simple mathematical problem to suffering from a disability and many more setbacks in life are endured by strong characters who have dealt with these hardships such as a miserable childhood and a physical disadvantage only to turn them into their favour.

For the new year, it is good to learn how the weak can surprisingly defeat the strong in which how our small actions may be able to match up against the obstacles we are bound to face and perhaps make a huge difference in the success of our goals.
