Book Review: David and Goliath by Malcom Gladwell

The phenomenon of relative deprivation applied to education is called - appropriately enough - the "Big Fish-Little Pond Effect." The more elite an educational institution is, the worse students feel about their own academic abilities. page. 80

Easy read, but coated with insightful information that anyone can become aware and take action in the best way possible. Author Malcolm Gladwell engages the reader to really take a step back and understand behaviors, actions, and situations where sometimes one may not have control, but actually you do as situations are fully understood.

Not. As. It. Seems.

Book Review: The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro

A brief assessment after reading this novel, not surprised, predictable in the world of art industry where one so much as wants to be accomplished and successful as a reputable artist , and end up not making a dent in this competitive field. I'm not surprised, but it was worth a read and being drawn into this world of art collection , and get a glimpse of their dealings. It was a smart and engaging book, wish I had more time to really get lost in this novel. It ended too soon. Hope to read the next book from B.A. Shapiro .

Quotable Art
