Gladwell M. David and Goliath: How Outsiders Win Against Favorites / Malcolm Gladwell; Translated from English. - Moscow: Alpina Publisher, 2023. - 360 pages. - (Series “Alpina: Psychology and Philosophy”). The author of world bestsellers, The New Yorker journalist Malcolm Gladwell, inspired by the biblical story of the confrontation between David and Goliath, analyzes the phenomenon of the weak defeating the strong. Through examples of real people—a Hollywood millionaire who earned his first dollars at age 10 by street cleaning; a coach who used a special game strategy to win with a weak basketball team; a doctor persistently seeking cures for childhood leukemia; a fearless civil rights fighter at the epicenter of racial discrimination and other brave people who managed to overcome seemingly insurmountable problems—Gladwell shows that a weak person endowed with willpower, resourcefulness, and a keen sense of justice can defeat even the strongest opponent.
