Malcolm Gladwell presents his new book in an Irish exclusive event
Gladwell was named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine.
In this Ireland-exclusive event, presented by Dalkey Book Festival, bestselling author, journalist and podcast host Malcolm Gladwell presents his new book, Talking to Strangers.
How do we make sense of the unfamiliar? Why are we so bad at judging someone, reading a face, or detecting a lie? Why do we so often fail to ‘get’ other people? In a powerful and provocative exploration of why we so often misread other people, Gladwell takes us on a journey through the unexpected. From the spy who spent years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon, to the suicide of the poet Sylvia Plath, we discover that strangers are never simple.
