David Y Goliat / David and Goliath
David Y Goliat / David and Goliath
sobre obst culos y desventajas, y ofrece una nueva interpretaci n de lo que significa ser discriminado, vivir con una discapacidad, perder a un padre o sufrir cualquier otro tipo de desgracia. Gladwell analiza el conflicto de Irlanda del Norte, la mente de los investigadores del c ncer y la de los l deres de los derechos civiles, el alto precio de la venganza y la din mica de las clases que obtienen buenos resultados, y de las que no, para demostrar cu nto de lo que hay de bello y de importante en el mundo se origina en el sufrimiento y en la adversidad. En la tradici n de sus anteriores bestsellers -Blink. Inteligencia intuitiva, La clave del xito, Fueras de serie (Outliers) y Lo que vio el perro-, Gladwell recurre a la historia, a la psicolog a, a la ciencia y a su maestr a como narrador para dar nueva forma al modo en que concebimos el mundo que nos rodea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives.
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 Gladwell challenges 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.
