🎙 Welcome to The Quiet Footnote — where we don’t just summarize books, we pull apart the stories we think we know, to see what’s hidden beneath.In this episode, we step into Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell — a book about why we so often misread, misunderstand, and misjudge the people we don’t know.This isn’t about small talk.It’s about the fatal mistakes, quiet assumptions, and cultural blind spots that shape every interaction — from casual encounters to world-changing events.📜 “We think we can look into someone’s eyes and know their heart. We can’t.”
