Talking to Strangers

What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know

Book • 2021

Author

Malcolm Gladwell

In 'Talking to Strangers', Malcolm Gladwell delves into the challenges and misunderstandings that occur when we interact with people we do not know.

The book explores various high-profile cases, such as the death of Sandra Bland, the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, and the interactions between Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler.

Gladwell argues that our default assumption to trust strangers until proven otherwise often leads to disastrous outcomes.

He discusses the 'default to truth' theory and how our perceptions of strangers can be skewed by preconceived notions and stereotypes.

The book provides insights into human psychology and communication, highlighting the importance of being aware of our assumptions when dealing with strangers.
