Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know by Malcolm Gladwell

4.0

Granted I am already a big Gladwell fan, I love his podcast and have read Outliers and some chapters of David and Goliath, I found Talking to Strangers exceptional. I’m always impressed with how easily Gladwell ties such different stories together into one narrative — I never would have considered that Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme or Sylvia Plath’s suicide would help me better understand Sandra Bland’s death. I really found this book to be a wake up call for understanding why I might give some strangers the benefit of the doubt while I treat others with suspicion.
