In a Costco Connection magazine piece, Malcolm Gladwell answers whether “his work on all of his books [has] given him a new worldview or altered the one he has?”
“The last three books [Blink, Outliers, Tipping Point] have made me very suspicious of the way that all of us as human beings react to the world,” the author replies. “The assumptions we carry around in our head aren’t very good. Our first impressions of things can sometimes be really terrible. This book [David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants] is basically about how we look at situations and misread them. The more I write these book, the less convinced I am of my own inherent wisdom. I’ve convinced myself that I’m pretty bad at making sense of the world and need a lot of help.”
