Talking to Strangers

What We Misunderstand About the People We Don’t Know.

In Talking to Strangers, Malcolm Gladwell investigates the ways in which our interactions with people we don’t know often go wrong. Drawing from real-life cases ranging from CIA interrogations and spy scandals to police encounters and tragic misunderstandings—Gladwell explores how assumptions, misread cues, and blind trust contribute to communication failures with strangers.

He challenges the belief that humans are good at detecting truth and deception, showing how defaulting to trust can have both positive and devastating consequences. With his signature narrative style, Gladwell combines psychology, history, and criminology to uncover the hidden mechanics behind our social instincts and how they shape society.

Eye opening and unsettling, Talking to Strangers is a powerful call to question what we think we know about others and ourselves.
