The highly anticipated new book from Malcolm Gladwell, No.1 international bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw and David and Goliath In July 2015, a young black woman named Sandra Bland was pulled over for a minor traffic violation in rural Texas. Minutes later she was arrested and jailed. Three days later, she committed suicide in her cell. What went wrong? Talking to Strangers is all about what happens when we encounter people we don't know, why it often goes awry, and what it says about us.How do we make sense of the unfamiliar? Why are we so bad at judging someone, reading a face, or detecting a lie? Why do we so often fail to 'get' other people? Through a series of puzzles, encounters and misunderstandings, from little-known stories to infamous legal cases, Gladwell takes us on a journey through the unexpected. You will read about the spy who spent years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon, the man who saw through the fraudster Bernie Madoff, the suicide of the poet Sylvia Plath and the false conviction of Amanda Knox. You will discover that strangers are never simple.No one shows us who we are like Malcolm Gladwell. Here he sets out to understand why we act the way we do, and how we all might know a little more about those we don't.

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

Gladwell, Malcolm

Little, Brown and Company

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. 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 Strangers is 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.

A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Pres 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. 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? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you'll hear the voices of people he interviewed--scientists, criminologists, military psychologists. Court transcripts are brought to life with re-enactments. You actually hear the contentious arrest of Sandra Bland by the side of the road in Texas. As Gladwell revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, and the suicide of Sylvia Plath, you hear directly from many of the players in these real-life tragedies. There's even a theme song - Janelle Monae's "Hell You Talmbout." 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.

BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES\nMalcolm Gladwell, presentador del podcast Historia Revisionista y autor del libro #1 de las superventas de New York Times Outliers, ofrece una examinación potente de nuestras interacciones con extraños—y porqué frecuentemente nos salen mal.\n¿Cómo pudo engañar Fidel Castro a los del CIA por una generación? ¿Por qué pensó Neville Chamberlain que podía confiar en Adolfo Hitler? ¿Por qué están incrementado los abusos sexuales en las universidades? ¿Nos enseñan las comedias de la televisión algo equivocado de cómo nos relacionamos?\nHablar con extraños es una aventura intelectual clásicamente Gladwelliano, una excursión retadora y controversial a través de la historia, la psicología y los escándalos sacados directamente de las noticias. Reconsidera las decepciones de Bernie Madoff, el juicio de Amanda Knox, el suicidio de Sylvia Plath, el escándalo pedofilia de Jerry Sandusky en la Universidad de Penn State y la muerte de Sandra Bland—sometiendo a la duda nuestra comprensión de estas historias y otras. Algo está muy mal, argumenta Gladwell, con las herramientas y estrategias que utilizamos para entender a las personas desconocidas. Y debido a que no sabemos hablar con extraños, estamos invitando el conflicto y malentendido en formas que tienen un efecto profundo en nuestras vidas y nuestro mundo. En su primer libro desde su bestseller #1, David y Goliat, Malcolm Gladwell ha escrito un fascinante guía para los tiempos turbulentos.\nENGLISH DESCRIPTION\nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\nMalcolm 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.\nHow did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation?
