2015-11-04


At noon on November 3rd, the second session of Ajou University's President's Book Club was held in the Global Lounge in the University Library with 14 students in attendance.


At the Book Club, participants discussed David And Goliath authored by Malcolm Gladwell. The book suggests ways for ordinary people to meet their challenges with a variety of examples, including the battle between David and Goliath.


President Dong Yeon Kim explained why he selected the book, "This book explains how the weak beat the strong, and contains a number of messages that can be helpful to Ajou people who can become the weak at any time. He evaluated author Gladwell, "He is excellent in analyzing how people act, and collecting and analyzing examples to deliver his messages, which makes his books interesting."


During the event, students and President Kim exchanged their views of the book. There were students who asked for his advice on their individual concerns, and President Kim gave them suggestions in a candid manner.


President Kim said to the students, "I hope that this Book Club will help you to enjoy reading and understand the wide spectrum of people's thoughts."
