Introduction : Goliath: "Am I a dog that you should come to me with sticks?"
Part 1. The advantages of disadvantages (and the disadvantages of advantages) : Vivek Ranadivé: "It was really random. I mean, my father had never played basketball before"
Teresa DeBrito: "My largest class was twenty-nine kids. Oh, it was fun"
Caroline Sacks: "If I'd gone to the University of Maryland, I'd still be in science"
Part 2. The theory of desirable difficulty : David Boies: You wouldn't wish dyslexia on your child. Or would you?
Emil "Jay" Freireich: "How Jay did it, I don't know"
Wyatt Walker: "De rabbit is de slickest o' all de animals de Lawd ever made"
Part 3. The limits of power : Rosemary Lawlor: "I wasn't born that way. This was forced upon me"
Wilma Derksen: "We have all done something dreadful in our lives, or have felt the urge to"
André Trocmé: "We feel obliged to tell you that there are among us a certain number of Jews."
Drawing upon examples from the world of business, sports, culture, cutting-edge psychology and an array of unforgettable characters around the world, the author of The Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers looks at the complex and surprising ways in which the weak can defeat the strong, how the small can match up against the giant, and how our goals (often culturally determined) can make a huge difference in our ultimate sense of success.
