Malcolm Gladwell's "David and Goliath" upends our assumptions about strength and weakness. When is a traumatic childhood a gift? How can a disability be an advantage? Gladwell digs into surprising case studies - from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to cancer research labs - to reveal the hidden rules that shape the balance of power. What looks like an obstacle can be a source of strength in the hands of the courageous and clever.
