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

4.0

I HIGHLY recommend that if you're going to "read" this book, then you listen to the audiobook version of this book on Audible, because its almost like a long-form podcast. Gladwell includes experts and interviews with other people in the audiobook and he is a generous, level-headed and thoughtful narrator and story-teller. He invites other voices to speak where he is not the expert, and asks all of us to think about how we go about talking to strangers. Although I don't agree with Gladwell's conclusions or descriptions of some of the events (sexual abuse depiction), overall the book is a thoughtful discussion, inviting us to acknowledge that our gut impressions of other people are often flawed and incorrect.
