Talking to Strangers

This book is basically Gladwell saying: yo, we’re actually terrible at reading people we don’t know. We think we can judge strangers by their face, vibe, or words; but most of the time, we get it dead wrong. From cops and criminals to spies and celebrities, Gladwell shows how misreading strangers has led to some huge disasters in history. The big lesson? Don’t assume you “get” someone right away. Slow down, listen deeper, and realize strangers are way more complicated than we think.

- Why do we think we’re good at reading strangers when we actually suck at it

- How come our brains are wired to believe people first, even when they’re lying
