Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know
I’m a huge fan of Malcolm Gladwell. I’ve read or listened to all of his previous books, and especially like listening to the audiobooks as he narrates them himself. I also listen to both of his podcasts, Revisionist History and Broken Record. I just love how he takes seemingly different stories and situations and ties them together into a compelling narrative or lesson. This book is no different in that respect. And I’ve spent quite a lot of time thinking about it after having finished it. This likely will be a re-read (or listen) for me, as I just can’t decide exactly what I think about his premise or conclusion. And I do recommend listening to this one on audio, as he blends his podcast and writing styles, in that when he quotes others, he uses audio from that person when he can.
