Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know by Malcolm Gladwell

informative

3.75

I found the information covered in the book to be interesting and thought provoking. I also really enjoyed the way that the author chose to convey so much of the information through case studies and stories, as by relating it to these real-world situations made it that much more tangible. However, there is something about a white man speaking on racism and violence against women that definitely gives me pause. While I know that he is looking at research done by others it is all presented through his own lens, which doesn't necessarily discount it but does make me consider it through a more critical eye.

I listened to the audiobook and I would highly recommend that as a way to take in the content, especially if you are a podcast lover. It's incredibly well produced, splicing in audio clips in lieu of the author reading out a transcription of events wherever possible.
