David and Goliath

I am a big Malcolm Gladwell fan, and his latest book does not disappoint. Gladwell has a way of thinking and looking at things that is quite different from the way I think and look at things, and that always makes me say, wow, that's really interesting.

In his latest book, Gladwell looks at how perceived advantages can sometimes be disadvantages, and vice versa. He uses examples of real people in real situations who have overcome something to do great things... or who didn't live up to their great expectations. He uses statistics and math, but in ways that are very approachable and understandable (and that had me going to Google again and again to find out more). And he just has this way of humanizing his subjects that's very readable and likeable.

This is a super easy, very interesting read. If you like this and haven't read any other Gladwell, I highly recommend The Tipping Point and Outliers.
