Amazon sent me a gift card for some reason, and I'm looking to spend it on some good book (or books). So, I'd appreciate it if you shared an insightful book you read recently.

- I like politics, philosophy, society, economics, psychology.
- I have enough Bitcoin books, so I'm looking for something else.

Drop your favorite books.  Smiley
Congratulation on your Amazon gift card. I found a fellow bibliophile.


I recently came across this book by Malcom Gladwell - David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants


Luckily it is on Amazon.

I love the book because it passes the message of how to see an advantage in every disadvantage. Or rather put how to leverage a disadavantaged position and turn it into an advantage.

I hope you love it, just like I do.

See a synopsis below .

Quote
In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwellchallenges 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.
