Reviews for Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don´t Know
I love this book . . . reading it will actually change not just how you see strangers, but how you look at yourself, the news - the world. Reading this book changed me.
Oprah Winfrey
Fascinating . . . you should read the book . . . He's tackling the dark side of human nature - what ... Read moredo we ever know about other people?
Sathnam Sanghera
The Times Magazine
Now that practically everybody seems to be spoiling for a fight, I have found Malcolm Gladwell's Talking to Strangers invaluable . . . His moral - to approach new people with caution and humility - has become my motto.
Evening Standard
Taut, provocative, smart . . . Gladwell's cool, playful intelligence has made him one of our leading public thinkers
New Statesman
A book examining the ways we misinterpret or fail to communicate with one another could not feel more necessary . . . the page-turning urgency of a thriller
Chris Barton
Los Angeles Times
Superb writing. Masterful . . . bears all the marks that have made Gladwell one of the most successful non-fiction authors of his generation.
Pilita Clark
Financial Times
A dazzling book . . . Gladwell is a rock star of nonfiction . . . ideas are slowly revealed until the reader arrives at a conclusion they didn't expect. Gladwell is advancing ideas and, sure, they are all open to challenge . . . but they are stimulating and convincing - and you won't regret a minute you spend mastering them
The Times
A wonderful provocation which Gladwell delivers like no other, an awakening to just one of the fascinations that lie in ordinary human experience . . . as ever, Gladwell's genius is in the telling.
Spectator
Malcolm Gladwell made his name bringing intellectual sparkle to everyday subjects, and his new book - about how strangers talk to each other - is no exception.
