Talking To Strangers - a podcast by Adam Ashton and Adam Jones

Talking to Strangers - by Malcolm Gladwell

'What we should know about the people we don't know'

 

We think we can understand people. We think that by meeting someone, shaking their hand, looking into their eyes, we can get a grasp on who they are, how they feel, and what their motives or intentions are. We think that a little bit of personal knowledge gives us a big insight into their character - a job interviews shows us if they'll be a good employee, a first date can indicate the likelihood of compatibility.

We're wrong. Strangers are complex. 

In Malcolm Gladwell's brand new book, he highlights just a few of the things that make strangers particularly hard to understand: Truth Default Theory, Transparency, Coupling.
