I really love Malcolm Gladwell's work in general, but this book was a little too far-reaching. It is filled with carefully-framed, well-told stories of ordinary and extraordinary folks who have challenges Gladwell defines as David-like (challenges of the little guy) in some way or the other. I loved it in the beginning. The intro was fantastic and thought-provoking. The first story follows suit. But as a collective whole, I couldn't shake the feeling Gladwell was cherry-picking data to supplement the personal accounts and fill a book.
