David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the art of Battling Giants
Автор:Malcolm Gladwell Год: 2013 Издание:Little, Brown and Company Страниц: 320 ISBN: 9780316251785 Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he have? In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we view obstacles and disadvantages, revealing how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity. In the tradition of his previous bestsellers - The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, and What the Dog Saw - David and Goliath draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think about the world around us.
