David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell

In Malcom Gladwell’s ‘David and Goliath – Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants”, Gladwell is asking readers to rethink conventional wisdom. While reading this book it’s made me realize how many times we look at a situation and only see it through the eyes of conventional wisdom. However, if you take time to think, and look at things from a different point of view there are often advantages that are initially unseen and the situation can actually be vastly different.
