How do underdogs beat our expectations? How did David overcome Goliath? In his hugely anticipated new book, “David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants,” renowned journalist and bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell grasps connections other miss, exposes hidden rules that shape society and explores how power transfers from those who have it to those who don’t.
