About Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don’t Know

How did Fidel Castro hoodwink the CIA for nearly a generation? Why would Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? What has fueled the recent campus sexual assaults? Do you feel that sitcoms on TV present the wrong information about how humans interact?

In the book “Talking to Strangers,” Malcolm Gladwell tries to answer such questions and others, using the views of modern psychology, historical accounts, and the latest news stories.

He explores the fraud in Bernie Madoff, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, and the death of Sandra Bland, making us rethink our perspective on them. Gladwell believes that we take all the wrong steps in understanding strangers and, as a result, end up erring grievously and incurring great tragedies. This book is an essential tool for negotiating the vagaries of life today.
