From dyslexia (my preferred learning disability—and before everyone gets all up in arms, I don’t actually consider my dyslexia a disability, more like an inconvenience at this point in my life) to the Civil Rights Movement to the Conflict in Northern Ireland, Gladwell challenges the notion of The Underdog.
True to form, Gladwell upends conventional wisdom to offer a deeper look into things we thought we knew. David and Goliath is a compelling framework for reanalyzing seemingly long shot victories over powerful adversaries.
The book has a message that is simultaneously inspirational and humbling. In the grand scheme of things, we may not be as weak (or as strong) as we think we are.

Interesting stories. A few good concepts -- I was most taken by the nature of asymmetries. The other concepts - such a "good challenges" were also interesting. Worth a read.
Gladwell always offers new and different perspectives. His books make me think.
This has some great stories! It’s a collection of stories— some were only eh, but some were amazing and I read them twice.

Fun, interesting read. I enjoyed his analysis of the David and goliath story and the concept that sometimes weaknesses can be turned into strengths. This is an idea that really resonated with me and is a concept that I've been taught at church for a long time.
Launches very well. Lands—well, it leaves the landing somewhat up to you. I am convinced by many of the central arguments, but not all—and the “final point” gets sorta of fuzzy to me. However—immensely valuable book for the histories presented, and the interpretation of those histories. Recommended.
