Malcolm Gladwell discusses his book, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know. Examines Gladwell’s theory that prejudging people we don’t know can lead to dangerous consequences. Through well-known cases like the Bernie Madoff scandal, the Amanda Knox trial, the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse trial, and the racially charged arrest and death of Sandra Bland, Gladwell explains his belief that many of us unconsciously invite conflict and misunderstanding into our lives.
