Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know by Malcolm Gladwell
2.0
The pop-psych element of this book that explores how we relate to each other was great. I love that stuff, and Gladwell's writing never disappoints. But I think he was seriously reaching in his application of these principles to recent high-profile cases, verging on offensive a few times. The Sandra Bland discussion was absolutely fascinating, with its exploration of modern policing, but even with all that background, I still attribute the ultimate outcome to a certain "bigoted asshole factor" that reaches beyond breakdowns in interpersonal communication.
