Talking to Strangers
by Malcolm Gladwell
Overview
Humans naturally judge one another daily. We may even assume we know how someone else is feeling. We do it all the time, whether at parties, at work, or just walking down the street.
According to author and journalist Malcolm Gladwell, if you think you're good at getting a read on people, you're wrong. In Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know, Gladwell dissects the reasons why we're so bad at judging others and what we can do to overcome this weakness.
