Why did Neville Chamberlain think 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 classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits 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, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Best Book of the Year: \u003ci\u003eThe Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Detroit Free Press \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/span\u003e 10\/01\/2021 (EAN 9780316299220, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/20\/2019 (EAN 9780316478526, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/01\/2019 pg. 66 (EAN 9780316478526, Hardcover) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2019 pg. 80 (EAN 9780316478526, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 08\/01\/2019 pg. 8 (EAN 9780316478526, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews Fall Preview\u003c\/span\u003e 08\/15\/2019 pg. 30 (EAN 9780316478526, Hardcover) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/span\u003e 09\/10\/2019 (EAN 9780316478526, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gladwell, Malcolm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021-09-28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Psychology|Social Psychology|Psychology|Interpersonal Relations|Language Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines|Communication Studies|History|Social History|Self-Help|General|Social Science|Sociology|Social Theory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Conduct of life|Interpersonal relations|Psychology, Applied|Threat (Psychology)|Strangers|Miscellanea|Trust|Informational works\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316299220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780316299220\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51154252628246,"sku":"SP-9780316299220","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9780316299220_spiral.png?v=1774939482","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/talking-to-strangers-what-we-should-know-about-the-people-we-dont-know","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
