Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and #1 bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, David and Goliath, and What the Dog Saw, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers---and why they often go wrong.
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true?
Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland---throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller, David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.

非常值得深思的一本书。作者一如既往地在挖掘和挑战我们的一些深信不疑的“常识”。与过去的书不同的书,这本书以Bland 事件作为一个大“课题”,抛开单个警察不合理执法的表象,从社会科学的各个方面揭示了这个悲剧背后深层次的社会原因:1)我们擅长在形成既定印象后确认自己...

评分这本书其实是2020年开年的第一本,作者Malcolm Gladwell好像是播客届鼻祖。(赶紧火速补课...)其实朋友推荐的是他的另一本书 The Tipping Point(中文版:《引爆点》),不过在书店没买到刚好有这本就买了,看完后发现竟然神奇地解决了一些困扰我很久但是一直没有结果的问题,...
评分十一举国欢庆,一位远在枫叶国的朋友也发朋友圈庆祝自己辛苦获得的CPA,可就在今天突然说发现自己男朋友劈腿了,从开始的模糊到最后面对坚实证据后的坦然,这个她一直真心对待的爱人在她面前一下变成了不熟悉的陌生人。这本来不是我这篇文章预想的开头,只是聊天时突然发现她命...

本作表现最好的时候是作者讲了一些曲折有趣的故事(古巴谍战篇还挺有趣的),糟糕的时刻是作者试图用过于简单的观点去解释现实世界十分复杂的问题(几乎是一大半的内容)。实在无法给高分。
评分就,朋友,你这是想讲点啥
评分大片即视感:从 CIA 双面间谍写到慕尼黑阴谋,从麦道夫写到 Amanda Knox 案,最后也没讲出多大道理,反正作者肯定是写 high 了
评分The overall idea is simple: when dealing with strangers, people default to truth, have illusion of transparency and do not understand the importance of the context. This is why people like Ana Montes, Bernie Madoff and Elizabeth Holmes avoided being caught for so long. 最后一章里关于Ferguson的那部分我不同意,这个案子我去年参与做了pro bono,发生在那里的事情不是沟通问题,而就是没有限制的警察越权和明确的种族主义
