THE THEORY OF DESIRABLE DIFFICULTY

Written By Grace Goodearl
 

Lessons from Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath

What if the very challenges we try to avoid are the ones with the power to shape our greatest strengths? In this episode, we celebrate the underdog (who may not actually be the underdog after all) unpacking stories of unlikely victories as described in Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath.

Themes include the advantages of disadvantages, the disadvantages of advantages, and the limits of power - plus a deep dive into the Theory of Desirable Difficulty, which suggests that even the most challenging circumstances can serve as powerful catalysts for success when met with the right mindset and response.
