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

5.0

I have always really enjoyed Malcolm Gladwell’s books and Talking to Strangers was no different. I think it’s his style of writing that really intrigues me. He weaves a story using facts and data that feels conclusive without reading like a research paper. Yet at the same time he raises questions that he doesn’t always know, or provide the answers to. His books are very often thought-provoking complex works.

Talking to Strangers is essentially a book about why we so often misjudge strangers, what happens when our interactions with people different than us go wrong, and why things are very often more complex than they seem. It is a wonderful combination of detailed research and rich storytelling.

I absolutely loved reading this book and would highly recommend it to anybody that really enjoys a good book that encourages you to think deeply about things.
