Description

Yet there is something more powerful and more uplifting that links them' Kate Kellaway, Financial Times 'I devoured in a single reading' Richard E. Grant 'When you read it, you feel like you can topple giants' Jon Ronson 'An energetic, counterintuitive exploration of why (and how) underdogs succeed' Lisa Appignanesi, Guardian, Books of the Year 'Breathtaking' The New York Times 'Truly intriguing and inspiring' Los Angeles Times

A great Read !
My review can be bit biased as I'm a great fan of Malcolm Gladwell. From Blink, Tipping point, Outliers, What the dog saw & now David & Goliath, I have read all of Malcolms. I must say no one can weave a story with so much of history, stat,science, psychcology & yet present it to the reader that makes the read very factual & exciting(May be this is what you become when you have a Mathematician father, a Psychotherapist Mother , a graduation in history & internship in Journalism)
The three ...

Oh Mr Gladwell
Remember when we were in our impatient teenages (if you are actually a teenager and have found this book, then BRAVO!)? We wanted everything to be sharply funny, energetically interesting with a punch at the end and a decent slice of humor or sarcasm to top it all off! Malcolm Gladwell is that kind of an author who writes for the young impatient mind - his energetic writing is what drives home some of the most non-intuitive bits of logic that jar the reader out of accepting conventional wisdo...

Malcom Gladwell lives up to the challenge
I had high hopes from this book having read Gladwell's previous works and gladly the author did not disappoint. Malcom Gladwell is one of the few writers who will keep you glued to their work and inspires such curiosity that it is difficult to keep the book down. The simple yet powerful reasons which author presents compels you to change your perspective.
Having read Malcom Gladwell's work, you will definitely look at the world from a different angle. And this book truly justifies this.

Impressive book
I haven't read the book. But I bought it as a gift for someone on the basis of excerpts. I chose it because I found the story-telling technique very skillful and powerful. It is the way I choose books for myself. Reputation of an author is not the most significant criteria while making choices.
While I don't have anything to say about the book, the people who I gave the book to were VERY happy with the book and impressed by my choice.

Beautiful as expected!
Gladwell's book always has a lot to say and this book did the same. For the things which we tend to pass-by or skip over, he makes us stop to think. The new revelation which he brings, always, succeed to awe.
Few portion seem to have been a little to easy to say but the amount of new thoughts should make up for it. Above the analysis he does, the history can't be missed.
A beautiful book to read.

I'm a fan of Gladwell, hence biased
It's a good pleasant read - as are all other Gladwell books. Well done research and light reading. Of course, if one identifies with the subject matter, then all the more reason one would like the book.
This book was recommended to me by someone who is an investor in startups in India.

David and Goliath : Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants
This book provides and excellent analysis and the historical perspective of the fabled David and Goliath battle and dispels myths associated with "who is strong is at an advantage". The book also outlines interesting analyses leading to optimal solutions hitherto not thought of earlier. Recommended for anyone (and everyone) who is involved in decision-making in any aspect of life. Kudos to flipkart for making this available in record time

Good Collection of Essays
One can comes across readings on success and failures. The readings normally one can find in self-help books or fiction. David & Goliath by Gladwell in one interesting collection of nine essays by author on different aspects at least I didn't' come across earlier. The collection starts with the story of David & Goliath, how the same story can be viewed differently. Easy and quick read as well.

Interesting Perspectives To Simple Yet Complex Thoughts
Amazing insights and examples which you can relate to as well as feel the views of the author. A pinch of humor adds to spice of the book which really gives nice excerpts of extraordinary deeds of seemingly ordinary people.
