Talking to Strangers

Book Review

Malcolm Gladwell's «Talking to Strangers» explores why people often misunderstand each other, especially when it comes to strangers. Gladwell analyzes various historical and contemporary cases to show how our biased perceptions and incorrect interpretations can lead to serious consequences. Critics note that the author masterfully combines scientific research with real-life stories, creating an engaging and informative read. However, some reviewers point out that the book may be overly simplistic in its conclusions and doesn't always offer practical solutions. Nonetheless, «Talking to Strangers» prompts reflection on how we interact with those around us and how we can improve these interactions.
