Talking to strangers - Malcolm Gladwell

The #1 New York Times and top ten Sunday Times bestseller

'I love this book . . . reading it will actually change not just how you see strangers, but how you look at yourself, the news - the world. Reading this book changed me' Oprah Winfrey

The highly anticipated new book from Malcolm Gladwell, international bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw and David and Goliath

The routine traffic stop that ends in tragedy. The spy who spends
years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The false
conviction of Amanda Knox. Why do we so often get other people wrong?
Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's
motives?

Through a series of encounters and
misunderstandings - from history, psychology and infamous legal cases -
Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual adventure into the darker
side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading
them can have disastrous consequences.

No one challenges our
shared assumptions like Malcolm Gladwell. Here he uses stories of deceit
and fatal errors to cast doubt on our strategies for dealing with the
unknown, inviting us to rethink our thinking in these troubled times.
