“Don’t look at the stranger and jump to conclu “Don’t look at the stranger and jump to conclusions. Look at the stranger’s world.” - Malcolm Gladwell 🌎 🌍 Alvin Ward Gouldner said, “Context is everything”. Nothing exists in isolation of its context as context gives meaning to what we think and do. 🌍 🌏 🌎 Where we’re from, our background, our culture, our privilege or lack thereof, all determine how we react and interpret situations. Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell looks at why we do the things we do and how context influences our behaviour.
Talking to strangers (and understanding them) is h Talking to strangers (and understanding them) is hard enough but what if you have an intense fear of interacting with others? Counselling psychologist, Tania Boshoff, explains the signs and symptoms of social anxiety in the latest blog article.

“No one is born hating another person because of “No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” - Nelson Mandela ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell explores why an encounter between a black woman and a white police officer resulted in the death of the black woman. The systems we currently have in place clearly aren’t working and we need to understand why in order to fix it. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊ I highly recommend reading Talking to Strangers. It changed the way I look at the world. #talkingtostrangers #talkingtostrangersbook #malcolmgladwell #malcolmgladwellbooks #malcolmgladwellisagenius #redbooks #redbookstack #redbookshelf #bookblog #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramza #bookreview #bookreviewblog #reading #nonfic #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #whattoreadnext #whattoread #readingcommunity #bookworm #books #booknerd #bookphoto #bookphotography #booksoutside #booksoutofdoors
“As it was, we always misunderstood ourselves, a “As it was, we always misunderstood ourselves, and rarely understood others.” - Lord Henry, The Picture of Dorian Gray 🖤🖤 Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell reminded me of this quote from The Picture of Dorian Gray. Most of us think we are pretty good at understanding ourselves and even better at understanding others but it turns out we’re not. 🖤🖤 If you haven’t read Talking to Strangers, I highly recommend it. #talkingtostrangers #talkingtostrangersbook #malcolmgladwell #malcolmgladwellbooks #thepictureofdoriangray #doriangray #lordhenry #lordhenryquote #bookquotes #misunderstandings #understandingourselves #bookstagram #bookworm #bookquoteoftheday #bookstagramza #bookblog #bookblogger #bookreview #nextread #whattoreadnext #bestbooks #nonfictionbooks #nonfiction #nonfictionreads #reading #readingcommunity #wherebookslead #readinglikerory #readinglikerorygilmore #books
“Talking to Strangers is an attempt to understan “Talking to Strangers is an attempt to understand what really happened by the side of the highway that day in rural Texas” - Malcolm Gladwell 🚗🚓 In Talking to Strangers, Malcolm Gladwell tries to make sense of the encounter between Sandra Bland, a young African American woman, and Brian Encinia, a white police officer, in July 2015. Bland was pulled over for failing to signal a lane change. A video shows how their interaction escalated. Bland was arrested and jailed. She was found hanged in her jail cell three days after her arrest. 🚗🚓 To try and understand how their encounter could go so completely wrong, Gladwell brilliantly combines social experiments, psychological studies, statistics, and examples from history and infamous cases.

“If you believe that the way a stranger looks an “If you believe that the way a stranger looks and acts is a reliable clue to the way they feel ... then you’re going to make mistakes.” - Malcolm Gladwell 👀🗣 When someone is surprised, we expect them to gasp and raise an eyebrow or when they’re sad, we expect downcast eyes and a quivering lower lip. But not everyone conforms to these norms and when they don’t, we see them as being insincere. 😲😢 I always thought I was pretty good at summing people up but after reading Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell I’m not so sure.
