Too bad!

pickI‘m a big fan of Malcolm Gladwell & his books. I enjoy his insights & connections he makes to different experiences to psychology or educational based theories. This book explores people that are considered underdogs in our society & how they can overcome their obstacles. Although some people still have many other obstacles in place that can make success difficult, some people can find advantages in their perceived disadvantages. The book explores
pickI finished this and then looked at the publish date (2013) - it could have been published this year since no example is lessened by nearly 10 years. Malcolm has such a thought provoking way of making a point through his use of statistics and example. The chapters on class size, on dyslexia, and 3-strikes laws will stay with me. I‘ll forever more consider David as the expert sharpshooter of his day. …I‘ve now read all the Gladwell canon!
Bought this book at Argosy Book Store in NYC

I listened to David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants for a book club. The examples are shallow, trite, and weak. I don't recommend reading this. ⭐⭐
Any book that helps you see your challenges from a different perspective is a worthy read. Gladwell‘s analogies are simple but full of clarity. #motivates #maycharacters @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickI am feeling a lot like David dealing with the Unemployment office, Golliath.
pickKids love when I tell them our read-aloud is a true story. They are fascinated by history when presented by authors like Meghan McCarthy. It's sad how quickly they lose interest in history because of school. #picturebooksareeverybodybooks #kidlit #istillhaven'tseenthemovie #thebookwasbetter
