The Book Interrupted women share their personal journals while reading “Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know” by Malcolm Gladwell. So many things to talk about with this book in the group chat: default to truth, relationships, oppression, the Holy Fool and more.
Discussion Points:
- Personal journals
- The illusion of asymmetric insight - do you think you know more about someone else than they do about you?
- The Holy Fool
- Do you default to truth?
- Relationships and red flags - do you see the truth when there are signs that they are lying?
- Data versus interactions - how much does personal interaction change the way you interpret data?
- How does race and gender oppression affect sentencing and assessment of situations?
- Was this book upsetting to you?
- Group enhancements - do you follow the group?
- Love and marriage
