Like many of Gladwell's books, David & Goliath is highly compelling and well researched.
He gives you a lot to think about, helps reframe the way we should look at strength and weakness.
As he asserts his conclusions as logical facts that one could drive from the highly anecdotal evidence,
many in psychological, or sociological fields may object. I believe that his conclusions are valid in that they inspire us to think differently and see how we might reassess the way we approach strength and weakness as opposed to being the definitive answer as to how humans beings deal with these issues as a whole.

An excellent review of the balance of power, questions of justice, and seeking to understand how we may not always see things the way they really are.
Another Gladwell book that gets a reader to reconsider previously held beliefs on what constitutes a true underdog, when can the perception work, when doesn't it work and how the challenges faced by underdogs both enhance and undermine society. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I am always blown away by the different ways Gladwell perceives the world and then so clearly translates it back to the reader.
This books definitely pushes you to think outside of your pre convinced paradigms of "failure" and "disadvantages"
Well done Gladwell, well done.

I found some of the points Gladwell made in this book to be slightly overdone. I think he spent a little too much time emphasizing his point after he had already made it. I think this book could have been either cut down a little bit with a few less examples or expanded to speak more on other elements of being an underdog.

I wrote a review that I felt was true but I didn't think anyone would much like it so I deleted it.

I enjoyed the anecdotal style and felt that I could relate to many discussion points. At the end it felt like a historical textbook, but there was still much to be gained from the discussions of past wars.
