"Malcolm Gladwell's book ""Talking to Strangers"" is a collection of true stories that explore how we think we know what the person we are talking to is really thinking or meaning. Using examples from the likes of Hitler, investigators Bernie Madoff, the Jerry Sandusky pedophile case, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, and the death of Sandra Bland, Gladwell explains how we default to telling the truth when talking to strangers. The book is highly researched and captivating, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the topic."
