À propos de cet audio

Audie Award Winner, Nonfiction, 2014

Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia.

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 of 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 Gladwellchallenges 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.

Gladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago. From there, David and Goliath examines Northern Ireland's Troubles, the minds of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms—all to demonstrate how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity.

In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers—The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog SawDavid and Goliath draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for Outliers:

"In the vast world of nonfiction writing, Malcolm Gladwell is as close to a singular talent as exists today...Outliers is a pleasure to read and leaves you mulling over its inventive theories for days afterward."—David Leonhardt, New York Times Book Review
"The explosively entertaining Outliers might be Gladwell's best and most useful work yet...There are both brilliant yarns and life lessons here: Outliers is riveting science, self-help, and entertainment, all in one book."—Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly
"No other book I read this year combines such a distinctive prose style with truly thought-provoking content. Gladwell writes with a high degree of dazzle but at the same time remains as clear and direct as even Strunk or White could hope for."—Atlanta Journal Constitution
"[An] important new book...Gladwell intelligently captures a larger tendency of thought-the growing appreciation of the power of cultural patterns, social contagions, memes...Gladwell's social determinism is a useful corrective to the Homo economicus view of human nature."—David Brooks, New York Times
"Thought-provoking, entertaining, and irresistibly debatable...[Outliers] is another winner from this agile social observer."—Heller McAlpin, Christian Science Monitor
"Outliers is required reading for boardroom and watercooler crowds alike."—Men's Health
"In Outliers, Gladwell (The Tipping Point) once again proves masterful in a genre he essentially pioneered-the book that illuminates secret patterns behind everyday phenomena."—Publishers Weekly
Praise for The Tipping Point

"A fascinating book that makes you see the world in a different way."—Fortune
"Gladwell's theories could be used to run businesses more effectively, to turn products into runaway bestsellers, and perhaps most important, to alter human behavior."—New York Times
Praise for Blink

"A real pleasure...Brims with surprising insights about our world and ourselves."—Salon.com
"Intoxicating".Gladwell is an engaging writer and a first-rate tour guide.?—Thane Rosenbaum, Los Angeles Times
"BLINK moves quickly through a series of delightful stories?.Always dazzling us with fascinating information and phenomena."—David Brooks, New York Times Book Review

Malcolm's way of looking at the world has always been a fascination of mine. he always seems to be able to put to words the things that many of us may be thinking but cannot fully articulate.
The manner in which Malcolm uses case studies to drive home his points and constantly engage his readers is nothing short of a master stroke.

Yet another great look at the way we look at life.

Such important principles to understand for Goliaths trying to do the right thing. The controlling state is very likely to be furiously putting all its resources, military, population, skill, and good will exactly in the wrong areas to achieve peace with small terroristic regimes.

Applicability to Israel-Hamas/Gaza conflict right now.

Gladwell hit it out of the park. A captivating concept (are our typical assumptions about what constitutes a strength and what constitutes a weakness actually accurate? Let’s take a look…). Eloquent, well researched, and delivered with Gladwell’s iconic hypnotic passionate style. Just as good as Talking to Strangers.

Fascinating, enlightening

Another excellent Gladwell

Listening is such a treat! Especially when the author is reading to me. I so enjoyed learning about underdogs and the like through the stories shared by Gladwell. I can’t wait to open the next one!

Love Malcolm Gladwell!

As fascinating as all of his books are I found the information in this one to be more applicable than some of his others. It is far from self help, he isn't telling you how this can improve your life, you gotta figure out how to apply the information yourself, but it was excellent, I think of the concept of "desirable difficulty" and what that means in my life and has been great for giving context to me an my brother who are both dyslexic.
