"In David and Goliath, Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks."
Please watch this terrific youtube video. Gladwell discusses the unapparent background of the battle of the giant and the shepherd.
Just watched the TED talk. I've only read one of his books, "Outliers." I found it very interesting and entertaining. His thought processes are provocative - I'd love to be able to look through a little window into the whirling dervish that is his brain!
