The book "Talking to Strangers," by its author Malcolm Gladwell, addresses the topic of our encounters with strangers, how we misunderstand them, how to be logical in illogical circumstances, and why we are so bad at judging others, interpreting their facial expressions, or detecting their lies. And why we fail to understand them. Through a series of riddles, confrontations, misunderstandings, and short stories ranging to scandalous legal cases, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on a journey through the unexpected! In this book, you will read about a spy who spent years at the highest levels of the Pentagon without being uncovered, about the man who exposed the truth about con artist Bernie Madoff, about the suicide of poet Sylvia Plath, and about the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox. In the end, you will discover that strangers are not simple characters at all. No one will uncover our inner selves like Malcolm Gladwell. Through the pages of this book, he reveals the motives behind our actions, why we are so bad at translating and understanding each other's meanings, and how we can better recognize those we do not know.
