David And Goliath By Malcolm Gladwell Book Review — Oyinlola Akiboye
Are all life’s advantages truly good for all?
In David and Goliath, Malcolm shows us how our idea of what strength is can be flawed. With examples and scenarios from all walks of life, Malcolm gives a better understanding of strengths and weaknesses and he starts from the very popular story of strength and weakness ‘David and Goliath’.
The understanding that David did not fight Goliath from a place of weakness but from a place of strength shines a new insight into the how the battle really played out. Similarly with all the other examples given in the book, Malcolm breaks down the perception of strength or advantages, and shows us that sometimes, the presence of weaknesses or disadvantages helps us WIN.
