畅销书《炸弹黑手党》的作者马尔科姆·格拉德威尔通过对成功、动力以及逆境在塑造我们生活中的作用的精彩考察，探索弱势群体的力量。 三千年前，在古巴勒斯坦的战场上，一个牧童仅用一块石头和一支投石器就击倒了一位强大的战士，从那时起，大卫和歌利亚的名字就代表了弱者和巨人之间的战斗。大卫的胜利是不可思议的奇迹。他不应该赢。
或者说他应该有吗？
在《大卫与歌利亚》一书中，马尔科姆·格拉德威尔挑战了我们对于障碍和劣势的看法，对遭受歧视、应对残疾、失去父母、就读平庸学校或遭受其他明显挫折的含义提出了新的解读。
格拉德威尔首先讲述了多年前巨人和牧童之间的真实故事。从那里开始， 《大卫与歌利亚》探讨了北爱尔兰的麻烦、癌症研究人员和民权领袖的思想、谋杀和复仇的高昂代价以及成功和不成功的课堂动态——所有这些都表明世界上许多美好和重要的东西都源自看似痛苦和逆境的东西。
继承了格拉德威尔之前的畅销书《引爆点》、《眨眼之间》、《异类》和《狗的视线》的传统，《大卫与歌利亚》借鉴了历史、心理学和强有力的故事叙述，重塑了我们对周围世界的看法。
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 Saw–David and Goliath draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.
