David and Goliath: How Outsiders Defeat Favorites

The author of world bestsellers, the New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell, inspired by the biblical confrontation of David and Goliath, analyzes the phenomenon of the weak victory over the strong.
Each of the chapters tells the story of one person - the famous or unknown, ordinary or talented - who, faced with seemingly insoluble problems, was forced to act. What to do: play by the rules or trust your instincts? Give or stay to the last? Draw a response or forgive?
A person is an adaptive creature, but there are situations when adaptation is identical to defeat. Therefore, it is worth mobilizing your internal reserves: will, mind, physical resources, imagination - and prevail over adverse circumstances.
The stories of real people who have stood in battle with the powerful “Goliaths” of incredible difficulties show us that even a weak can be able to take out terrible blows of fate and not only not to break, but also to find strength for new achievements
