A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press. 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 one another 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.4243097Talking to strangers: What we should know about the people we don t know299600https://www.gandhi.com.mx/talking-to-strangers--what-we-should-know-about-the-people-we-don-t-know-9780316478526/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3995401/54934362a2565e7192a96064125a56a7b8636c4b_tmp9780316478526.jpg?v=638478546657270000OutOfStockMXN0FITapa dura1a Edición20199781549150340_W3siaWQiOiIxNmMzOWIxZC1iZWI4LTQ0Y2UtYTUxMy1kM2FmNTY2ZTlkZDQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ4OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NDg5LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMS0wNlQyMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9788412351460_<p>Las protestas de Occupy Wall Street han capturado la imaginación política norteamericana. Las encuestas revelan que dos tercios de la nación creen que la riqueza debe ser distribuida de manera más uniforme, pero más de la mitad sienten que las protestas tienen poco impacto en la desigualdad. ¿Cómo se explica esta desconexión? La mayoría de los estadounidenses se han resignado a creer que los ricos simplemente siempre se salen con la suya. Excepto que no lo hacen. Hace un siglo, Estados Unidos fue anfitrión de una oligarquía aún más dominante que la de hoy. Sin embargo, cincuenta años después los super-ricos habían desaparecido casi por completo y sus mansiones y haciendas pasaron a ser museos y universidades. América se convirtió en una vibrante nación de clase media. Al rastrear cómo los estadounidenses lograron arrinconar a la plutocracia en la primera mitad del siglo XX, y cómo ésta regresó un tiempo después, Pizzigati aporta al 99% una comprensión más profunda de lo que se puede llegar a hacer. Si nuestros antepasados golpearon con éxito a las grandes fortunas, nosotros también podemos hacerlo. Esta parte de la historia se ha mantenido prácticamente oculta hasta ahora, pero los ciudadanos de los EE.UU. y del resto del mundo deberíamos tomar no poca inspiración de este cambio impresionante.</p>(*_*)9781549150340_<p><strong>A Best Book of the Year: <em>The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune,</em> and <em>Detroit Free Pres</em></strong></p><p><strong>Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller <em>Outliers</em>, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers -- and why they often go wrong.</strong></p><p>How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation?

He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of <em>Talking to Strangers</em>, youll hear the voices of people he interviewed--scientists, criminologists, military psychologists. Court transcripts are brought to life with re-enactments. You actually hear the contentious arrest of Sandra Bland by the side of the road in Texas. As Gladwell revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, and the suicide of Sylvia Plath, you hear directly from many of the players in these real-life tragedies.
