Malcolm Gladwell is the author of five New York Times bestsellers--The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath. He is also the co-founder of Pushkin Industries, an audio content company that produces the podcasts Revisionist History, which reconsiders things both overlooked and misunderstood, and Broken Record, where he, Rick Rubin, and Bruce Headlam interview musicians across a wide range of genres. Gladwell has been included in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list and touted as one of Foreign Policy's Top Global Thinkers.
"Talking to Strangers is a must-read...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, O, The Oprah Magazine
"Another Gladwell tour de force...intellectually
stimulating...Readers expecting another
everything-you-think-you-know-is-wrong page-turner will not be
disappointed."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"As always, with his narrative gift and eye for the telling detail,
Gladwell peppers his work with unforgettable facts... He has
immense gifts--a probing, original, questioning mind, an ability to
dig up information others haven't considered and tie it to a
broader point. He has a narrative skill nonpareil."--Stephen
Galloway, Hollywood Reporter
"Both fascinating and topical...A thoughtful treatise...Gladwell
writes in his signature colorful, fluid, and accessible
prose."--Publishers Weekly
"Engaging...Mr. Gladwell [presents] a mountain of quirky anecdotes
and interesting research about our blunders with strangers, and why
we make them...It's fascinating to peek at these incidents through
Mr. Gladwell's psychological lens."--Leigh Anne Focareta,
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Gladwell has again delivered a compelling, conversation-starting
read...At a time when the world feels intractably polarized, a book
examining the varying ways we misinterpret or fail to communicate
with one another could not feel more necessary...With a mix of
reporting, research and a deft narrative hand, Gladwell illuminates
these examples with the page-turning urgency of a paperback
thriller."--Chris Barton, Los Angeles Times
"Gladwell interviews brilliant people, generates powerful insights,
writes like an angel, and has earned a massive and admiring
audience. He has a keen eye and a witty flair and he's one of the
best observationalists of a generation. Gladwell is a big-picture
thinker who helps us make sense of the human condition."--Bob
Brisco, WebMD Magazine
"Gladwell uses compelling real-world examples to show the how and
why behind our interactions with folks we're trying to
understand."
--Rhett Power, Forbes
"Gladwell's case studies are thrilling...Chock-full of gripping
anecdotes from the recent and forgotten past. He uses these
riveting stories to offer up bite-size observations about how we
engage with strangers."--Maggie Taft, Booklist
"Inspiring and motivating...Gladwell is a wunderkind and a
saint...He takes on racial division, incompatible perspectives, and
emotional dissonance without ever sounding preaching or proud. The
stories make you think."--John Brandon, Daily Beast
"Mr. Gladwell's towering success rests on the moment when the
skeptic starts to think that maybe we're wrong about everything and
maybe, just maybe, this Gladwell guy is onto something...Talking to
Strangers is weightier than his previous titles."--Amy Chozick, New
York Times
"Powerful advice on truly getting to know others...Gladwell
brilliantly argues that we should stop assuming, realize no one's
transparent and understand that behavior is tied to unseen
circumstances."--People, Book of the Week
"Superb writing. Masterful structure."--Pilita Clark, Financial
Times (UK)
