BEST BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR / DECADE / PERHAPS EVER!

Sorry I should say "listen to" rather than read because it was the audible version...so, what's the book I'm referring to?

It's called Talking To Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell and I think every person on the planet should read it.

If you're curious about how we behave as human beings and particularly how we interact with people we know vs. people we don't then you're going to love this book.

I was captured from the beginning with a really sad story of an American woman who took her life in jail after being arrested for who knows what and the story behind it. The way the book is written is far from opinionated. It's based on research, case studies and observations and gives a completely new perspective on people.

I don't often rant about what I'm reading but this is 100% rant worthy content!

This really puts a new spin on the term ‘death by PowerPoint’! I love the desire for honesty, not so sure about the ex*****on of it though!!
