People traditionally perceive the underdog as the weaker competitor bound to lose. However, Gladwell refutes this common belief by first telling the tale of David and Goliath and then other stories of how “underdogs” defeated their fiercest competitors. People commonly consider limiting traits and resources as a disadvantage in life, but Gladwell demonstrates how these perceived limitations can be your greatest advantage, while perceived advantages may actually lead to one’s downfall in life.
