David & Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants by Malcolm Gladwell

"A powerful commentary on those who rise above adversity, achieving counterintuitive results, and sometimes using unconventional strategies.  

Gladwell asks the question of wether going to a top school, with a high bar for acceptance, is a rational goal-is it better to be a little fish in a big pond, or a big fish in a little pond?

He also identifies common threads in the backgrounds of those whose achievements he studied-what is common among British Prime ministers, leaders of causes, those who do not fold under pressure?

A thought-provoking and enjoyable read!!"
