The book was incredibly well-written and I enjoyed the nuances of each lesson and chapter. Would recommend to anyone I come across!

Gladwell, once again, provides an excellent account of real-world problems. The reader is forced to examine their reality and consider how bad we are at Talking to Strangers.

I find Gladwell’s books always interesting. I enjoy that they help me examine my assumptions and broaden my understanding of human behavior. Once again I learned there are no easy answers. People and situations are vastly more complicated than what we see through the media. I enjoyed this as an audiobook and recommend that mode.

Boring beyond belief.

Still doesn’t put blame on anyone.?!

Gladwell puts together another string of familiar occurrences and then pulls them apart to help us understand why we do what we do. Entertaining, enlightening and informative.

I couldn’t say enough good things about this book. I love this author and am so relieved and delighted to see him defend unusual and/or misunderstood people in such a relevant and powerful way. It’s so important to stay humble when it comes to our perception of others intentions

I listened to the audio version and found it fascinating. I would imagine you don’t get the same experience from reading it so if you can, listen instead.

Everything Malcomb Gladwell does is wonderful, including this book. It’s well written and well researched. Important subject matter and well worth the read.

To not discuss race as part of transparency is ridiculous. Many have been trained by society to default to the worst human traits when they deal with African Americans who are strangers. For the author not to address these prejudices is extremely short sighted. Not one of his best books.
