Talking to strangers -Malcolm Gladwell

Talking to Strangers explores why we often misunderstand and misjudge people we donÕt know. Malcolm Gladwell examines famous casesÑfrom intelligence failures to social and legal misstepsÑto reveal how our assumptions, biases, and cultural differences impact communication. He challenges the idea that we can easily read strangers' intentions and emotions, showing how defaulting to trust or suspicion can lead to serious consequences. Gladwell blends psychology, sociology, and storytelling to encourage more awareness, empathy, and critical thinking when interacting with unfamiliar people. The book highlights the complexity of human connection and the importance of questioning first impressions.
