The highly anticipated new book from Malcolm Gladwell, No.1
international bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers,
What the Dog Saw and David and Goliath
The routine traffic stop that ends in tragedy. The who spends
years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The false
conviction of Amanda Knox. Why do we so often get other people wrong?
Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's
motives?
Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings - from history,
psychology and infamous legal cases - Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an
intellectual adventure into the darker side of human nature, where
strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous
consequences.
No one challenges our shared assumptions like Malcolm Gladwell. Here
he uses stories of deceit and fatal errors to cast doubt on our
strategies for dealing with the unknown, inviting us to rethink our
thinking in these troubled times.
