Malcolm Gladwell
Why we need to get better at working out who鈥檚 lying.
Malcolm Gladwell seems to be everyone鈥檚 fantasy dinner guest. Also a contender for America鈥檚 greatest intellectual, he鈥檚 a Canadian with roots in the UK. The writer and host of the Revisionist History podcast is back with a new book: 鈥淭alking to Strangers鈥�. In it he explores what we should know about the people we don鈥檛 - and how some of the most infamous cases of recent history stem from people misreading each other. He came to the Beyond Today studio to talk about the importance of slowing down and his fear of running out of ideas.
