Talking to Strangers de Malcolm Gladwell

Talking to Strangers

Autor Malcolm Gladwell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 sep 2021
Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers--and why they often go wrong. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press 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 one another that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. In it, Malcolm Gladwell revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, 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 the resulting conflict and misunderstanding have a profound effect on our lives and our world. Now, with Talking to Strangers, Malcolm Gladwell brings us a gripping guidebook for troubled times.

Recenzii

Malcolm Gladwell made his name bringing intellectual sparkle to everyday subjects, and his new book - about how strangers talk to each other - is no exception.
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. Gladwell is advancing ideas and, sure, they are all open to challenge . . . but they arestimulating and convincing- andyou won't regret a minuteyou spend mastering them
A wonderful provocationwhich Gladwell delivers like no other, an awakening to just one of the fascinations that lie in ordinary human experience . . . as ever,Gladwell's genius is in the telling.
Malcolm Gladwell made his name bringing intellectual sparkle to everyday subjects, and his new book - about how strangers talk to each other - is no exception.
