Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know

Malcolm Gladwell starts with a seemingly simple question — why do we so often get strangers wrong? — and uses it to unravel some of the most consequential misunderstandings in recent history, from the Bernie Madoff fraud to high-profile police encounters. He shows that humans are wired to default to trust, to assume people are who they appear to be, and to misread signals in ways that can have devastating consequences. It’s vintage Gladwell — surprising case studies, counterintuitive conclusions, and writing that makes complex social science feel completely accessible. Oprah called it a must-read, and it spent months on bestseller lists worldwide. Order from thebookdot.com with delivery across Pakistan.
