David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants

by Malcolm Gladwell - £8.99  Penguin Books Ltd (2014)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780241959596 | ISBN 10: 0241959594

What if everything we thought about power was wrong? What if, in the ancient story of the shepherd boy who topples a giant, David actually had the advantage? This thought sets Malcolm Gladwell on an extraordinary journey that takes him from art to basketball, the brain to revolutions, along the way weaving unforgettable stories of misfits, outsiders, tricksters and underdogs who have faced outsized challenges and won.
 
With his trademark warmth, humour and gift for showing us the world through new eyes, Gladwell lets us see why the powerful aren't always what we think they are - and that some of us have more strength and purpose than we could ever imagine.
