One problem I've had with him though is his picking an example and generalizing it greatly, especially in Outliers. <br /><br />Your review and notes on David and Goliath makes me want to pick it up, though. <br /><br />Thanks<br />ShakirShakirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250824967328572263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17803506.post-80252424094526300992014-03-05T22:56:18.846-08:002014-03-05T22:56:18.846-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shakirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250824967328572263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17803506.post-65325988447513100312014-02-09T20:58:22.002-08:002014-02-09T20:58:22.002-08:00Amye - Aren't "strengths" different ...Amye - Aren't "strengths" different than power? Gladwell is critiquing power (over others) and making the point that we don't have to succumb to intimidation if we begin to tap our own capability through unconventional resistance. The most important issue is staying aware of the use of our strengths for positive benefit rather than exploiting strength in ways that will hurt others.Denny Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976548371874726977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17803506.post-67875473487737879732014-02-04T11:01:18.189-08:002014-02-04T11:01:18.189-08:00Hi Denny,
Hope you're doing well, and thank yo...Hi Denny,<br />Hope you're doing well, and thank you for sharing. I was interested in this new Gladwell book and appreciate your insights. <br />I'm curious - how do you think the principles outlined in this book overlay with the StrengthsFinder- type positive psychology approach? References are made to the "shadow side" of strengths, meaning that a strength taken to extreme can become negative. I guess I'm not yet making a connection between that concept and the concept of building strength as an "underdog"...<br />Best,<br />Amye<br />Amye Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975181342219003051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17803506.post-16837034230005954852014-02-04T10:59:50.623-08:002014-02-04T10:59:50.623-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Amye Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975181342219003051noreply@blogger.com
