ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell delves into the complexities and frequent missteps that occur when we encounter and try to make sense of people we don't know. The book explores how our assumptions about transparency, truth, and the ability to understand others' intentions can lead to critical errors in judgment, with consequences ranging from international espionage to everyday interactions. Through a series of compelling case studies and psychological research, Gladwell examines the cognitive biases and contextual factors that shape our encounters with strangers, revealing the inherent difficulties in navigating the unknown and the potential for profound misunderstandings.
