Another title for this book could have been “Inverted U”. Gladwell has found several examples through history explaining there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to life’s struggles. He highlights disadvantages in having it “all” and the advantages that can be found in struggle.
Even if this isn’t news to you, it wasn’t to me, it’s still a great read. Some of the examples are heartbreaking but not gratuitous, they’re used to highlight the complexity of each person’s situation. I will be driving my friends nuts referring back to this book for a while. I highly recommend.
