BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Malcolm Gladwell, presentador del podcast Historia Revisionista y autor del libro #1 de las superventas de New York Times Outliers, ofrece una examinación potente de nuestras interacciones con extraños—y porqué frecuentemente nos salen mal. ¿Cómo pudo engañar Fidel Castro a los del CIA por una generación? ¿Por qué pensó Neville Chamberlain que podía confiar en Adolfo Hitler? ¿Por qué están incrementado los abusos sexuales en las universidades? ¿Nos enseñan las comedias de la televisión algo equivocado de cómo nos relacionamos? Hablar con extraños es una aventura intelectual clásicamente Gladwelliano, una excursión retadora y controversial a través de la historia, la psicología y los escándalos sacados directamente de las noticias. Reconsidera las decepciones de Bernie Madoff, el juicio de Amanda Knox, el suicidio de Sylvia Plath, el escándalo pedofilia de Jerry Sandusky en la Universidad de Penn State y la muerte de Sandra Bland—sometiendo a la duda nuestra comprensión de estas historias y otras. Algo está muy mal, argumenta Gladwell, con las herramientas y estrategias que utilizamos para entender a las personas desconocidas. Y debido a que no sabemos hablar con extraños, estamos invitando el conflicto y malentendido en formas que tienen un efecto profundo en nuestras vidas y nuestro mundo. En su primer libro desde su bestseller #1, David y Goliat, Malcolm Gladwell ha escrito un fascinante guía para los tiempos turbulentos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast "Revisionist History" and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, 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.
