Talking to Strangers

that anyone would imply "...it happened because they were strangers..."First, bought this by accident.I can't put it better than Steven Poole (theguardian.com) did in his review.Read that and decide for yourself.I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

I found this book very informative and thought provoking. I hope that the next time I have to make a snap decision about a stranger I’ll utilize the valuable insights expressed here to make better choices.

it's so good! I finished in two days. the book comes alive with audio from actors and actual interviews

This is the first title by the author that I haven't liked.I was hoping for a more balanced view of the topic.

I pre-ordered this thinking it would be a book about getting the most out of conversations with new people.It was not, it is a book about a few studies and theories loosely tied together to make a weak case for the author's opinions on a BLM case.If you took the author's opinions out of the book and just presented the studies the book wouldn't have been so bad.

never clearly articulated the title of the book. it just rambled on about how people's read on others is incorrect. the chapters or at least the book should have provided some pointed take aways vice music. the author did a good job with the read and kept my attention.

As far-fetched as Gladwell’s conclusions are, his studies always make me think. This book could do with a lot less indignation. The music was not only unnecessary, but creepy and obnoxious.

Could only listen to the introduction and first two chapters. Content has nothing or very little to do with the title. I wanted a book about communication and got an extremely political, inaccurate story book. After fact checking, I was amazed at the lengths the author went through to express his bias. Seemed to have good ratings so I really wanted to listen to more but after fact checking it was obvious much of the info is the book was too skewed for credibility.

spoiler alert, to save you from hours of the same six things.... dont trust people! listen to your gut and don't discredit a single red flag. this was not at all what i was expecting, it read basically like a general reviewof the few fucked up things in the summary given. also doesn't give the answer to the title of the book, in the book. so there.

I kept listening to this book thinking I was just about to get to the good part, but there isn't one.Dramatic reading, pretending new insights,felt like listening to 60 minutes. Every sentence read like it was all in caps with lots of explamation points explaining a new discovery that 2 + 2 =4.
