Talking to strangers : what we should know about the people we don't know

Gladwell, Malcolm 1963- (author.).

Summary: How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain thin he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a classic Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology and scandals taken straight from the news. In it, Malcolm Gladwell revivits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University and the death of Sandra Bland throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwelll argues, with the toools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.
