内容简介
· · · · · ·
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.

评论 ······
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。
作者选的故事还是相当不错的。
完全只是一本故事书。故事还挺有意思的,只是完全没有什么主旨,凑在一起很牵强。
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
