129450 Talk To Strangers

In July 2015, a young woman named Sandra Bland was stopped by a police officer for a minor traffic violation in rural Texas. Minutes after her arrest, she was sent to prison, and three days later she committed suicide in her cell. What's wrong with all of this? The book "Talk to Strangers", authored by Malcolm Gladwell, deals with the topic of our encounter with strangers, and how do we misunderstand them? How can we be reasonable in illogical circumstances? Why are we so bad at judging others, at explaining their facial expressions, or at exposing their lies? Why do we fail to understand them? Through a series of riddles, encounters, and misunderstandings, and through short stories circulated to outrageous legal cases, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on a journey through the unexpected!
