The rest of the title: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants by Malcolm Gladwell. I really enjoyed this book, he took a different perspective to underdogs and misfits and showed how their limitations actually became their positives. People with dyslexia found ways around this and became super successful. People in London being bombed, people that grew up without love, etc these people became successful in their fields. Now he has obviously picked successful people to show it could happen. He doesn't really touch on the fact that so many with these issues struggle probably their whole lives, that to me was a kind of shortcoming to this book. But was good at keeping in mind what could be setbacks can be turned around. Really good and interesting book.
There are no copies on PBS but at this point keeping and encouraging others to read.
