This is another typical great work from Gladwell. Here, he challenges the conventional wisdom about defeating giants and looks at the idea that smaller classrooms are better for learning, among others. The chapters that worked the best for me were the ones on disabilities and the advantages they actually provide to those who have them. I like how Gladwell is always challenging our conventional wisdom and upending it. This is one of his best books. Engaging and well written and extensively researched. Gladwell clearly knows his stuff and does his homework but never makes it too technical or boring. That's the mark of a great writer. Reading his books always makes me feel a bit smarter. That's the highest praise I can think of. Definitely worth a read.
