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 do we ever know about other
people?
*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
*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.
*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.
*Observer*
