I give this a 2.5. I liked some of the points that were made, but some of the stories didn’t really support the David and Goliath theme; at times it became a social commentary.
It reads like an anthology of short stories connected by a common theme, exploring the questions that arise when any matter is looked at in detail and conventional beliefs are contested. It did feel a little bit repetitive at times, but succeeded nonetheless in making me ask myself further questions, which should be the point in a book like this.

Great book. Not directly life changing or anything, but I think it is a must read just to have this thinking in the back of your mind as you go through life to give you a better perspective on your decision making. It's easy to read and never got boring.

Classic Gladwell, who is always worth reading. But not as good, IMHO, as Outliers or Tipping Point.
Oh, Malcolm Gladwell, you are a treasure. Every minute I spent listening to this audiobook, I could feel my brain swelling with ideas and new information. I wish I had taken notes while listening, because so many of his stories and connections and the way he presents facts are so compelling. My only fear is that I won't be able to shut up about these topics when talking to other people, and I will try to convince everyone to read his books until I am blue in the face. Please don't ever stop writing and researching and reading your books to us, Mr. Gladwell. We need more minds like yours in this world.
