'Talking to Strangers' tackles two simple, yet fundamental questions: "How do we know if someone is lying?" and
"Why is it difficult to understand someone even after meeting them face to face?".
These questions' answers are that: People default to the truth,
People assume transparency, and People neglect coupled behavior.
Malcolm explains this through the stories and testaments of CIA operatives that were involved in the case of Ana Belén Montes who betrayed the CIA for the Cuban government, Amanda Knox's case of being wrongfully convicted, Kansas City Police Department's studies on how to reduce crime, and several other stories throughout the book.
A must-read book that changed my perspective on truth and not judging
