Talking to Strangers

Discover the hidden truths of human interactions with Malcolm Gladwell's "Talking to Strangers." Unveil the secrets behind our misunderstandings.

Talking to Strangers

Author: Malcolm Gladwell

In “Talking to Strangers,” Malcolm Gladwell delves into the complexities of human interaction, exploring why we often misread and misunderstand each other. Drawing from real-life cases and psychological research, he challenges our assumptions about trust and deception. I found his insights on the “default to truth” particularly eye-opening. Gladwell’s conversational style makes heavy topics accessible, though at times I wished for more concrete solutions. Still, this book left me pondering how I approach strangers in my own life.

The right way to talk to strangers is with caution and humility.
