Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know de Malcolm Gladwell

Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know

Autor Malcolm Gladwell
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 9 sep 2019
Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcastRevisionist Historyand #1 bestselling author ofThe Tipping Point,Blink,Outliers,David and Goliath, andWhat the Dog Saw, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers---and why they often go wrong.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? 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 each other that isn't true?

Talking to Strangersis 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.

Fascinating. . .you should read the book. . . He's tackling the dark side of human nature - what do we ever know about other people?
Now that practically everybody seems to be spoiling for a fight,I have found Malcolm Gladwell'sTalking to Strangersinvaluable. . . His moral - to approach new people with caution and humility - has become my motto.
Taut, provocative, smart . . .Gladwell'scool, playful intelligencehas made himone of our leading public thinkers
A book examining the ways we misinterpret or fail to communicate with one anothercould not feel more necessary. . .the page-turning urgency of a thriller
Superb writing. Masterful . . .bears all the marks that have made Gladwellone of the most successful non-fiction authors of his generation.
A dazzling book . . .Gladwell is a rock star of nonfiction. . . ideas are slowly revealed until the reader arrives at a conclusion they didn't expect.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

 

 

Brought to you by Penguin.The highly anticipated new book from Malcom Gladwell, host of the chart-topping podcast Revisionist History.

With original archival interviews and musical scoring, this enhanced audiobook edition of Talking to Strangers brings Gladwell's renowned storytelling to life in his unparalleled narrating style.

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.
