Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell was a fascinating listen on Audible.I thought I was going to learn how to talk to new people, which is a great skill to nurture as a military spouse. But what it turned out to be was a case study in how we get it wrong.Malcolm talks about stories from Chamberlin meeting with Hitler to the infiltration of the CIA from Cuban spies to the suicides of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. From the Bernie Madoff scheme to the Sandusky trial. How do we get it so wrong sometimes?I give you my abbreviated version and biggest take-aways from reading. Take a listen and let me know what you thought! themilspousepodcast@gmail.comTODAY, January 8, 2024 is the deadline to enter the 100th episode contest!!

Can the kindness of strangers help with the loneliness crisis? Whether you are a student, staff, or have gone alt-ac, you've likely had to move at least once recently for your education and career goals. It can get lonely when family and friends are far away or they just don't understand what you are doing with your life, and you are left wondering who you can talk to, who has your back, and who will be your people. In this episode, a podcaster and a psychotherapist sit down to talk about how their respective jobs regularly place them in conversations with strangers, and the unexpectedly good things that have come of that. As Christina Gessler and Charlotte Fox Weber consider reports of a global loneliness crisis, they offer up the idea that perhaps one of the answers to dealing with loneliness is not in cultivating or stressing big relationships, but in recognizing the value of all of the smaller roles played by the people you encounter, and in re-valuing daily interactions. Along with consideration for caring for mental wellbeing, having boundaries, making a safety-plan or setting up guardrails, and having realistic expectations for the roles people can fill in our lives, this episode reflects on how we can value the cumulative effect of all the smaller conversations that make up a life, and on the surprising kindness and wisdom that might be offered by strangers. Our guest is: Charlotte Fox Weber, who is a psychotherapist and writer. She cofounded Examined Life and was the founding head of The School of Life Psychotherapy. She grew up in Connecticut and Paris and now lives in London with her family. She is the author of Tell Me What You Want. Find out more at CharlotteFoxWeber.com. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is the producer and host of the Academic Life podcast. She holds a PhD in history, which she uses to explore what stories we tell and what happens to those we never tell.

Live from Scottsdale, AZ Yesterday I flew out to Arizona and ended up deeply engaged in a handful of meaningful conversations en route. Which got me thinking about the American idea that strangers are people to fear.  Hmmm…Stranger danger. This episode is about the value of talking to people you don't know…yet.   Hear why the "stranger danger" paradigm creates a sense of isolation and prevents people from experiencing the interconnectedness and support that we need. We will explore how our willingness to talk to strangers has a lot to do with our understanding of ourselves as interconnected beings in this web of humanity.  You'll learn why I think NOT talking to strangers is a huge disservice to yourself and more importantly to your children. One day you're going to send them off somewhere someday to do something and they're going to need to know who to ask for help. Join us as we explore: Why teaching children how to discern between different strangers would be more beneficial than instilling fear of all strangersHow connecting with strangers can lead to deeply human experiences and is important in understanding our interconnectedness in the world.Why diversity in experiences, backgrounds, and upbringings can teach us valuable lessons and help us become more creative, resourceful, and whole individuals. Learning from others' perspectives is key to understanding ourselves and realizing we are not alone; connecting with different backgrounds and cultures helps us become more creative and resourceful.Recognizing that we are all in this "mess" together can support and connect us to define our purpose, reduce anxiety, and increase laughter. We can have gratitude for learning about the lives of others and ourselves.

OutliersOutliers Full Book Introduction In every time period, there exist some "outliers" who possess exceptional abilities and achieve extraordinary feats. It is commonly believed that their success is attributed to personal factors, that they are either gifted or simply work much harder than the average person. However, this book uncovers the real secret to their success. They do not rely purely on their talent or hard work to achieve success; rather, their success is influenced by innate strengths, acquired opportunities, and cultural backgrounds. Author : Malcolm GladwellMalcolm Gladwell is a Canadian author of Jamaican and English descent. In 2005, he was included in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list. In addition to this, Gladwell has been hailed as “a 21st-century Peter Drucker” by Fast Company. The New York Times described his influence on social thought as “the Gladwell Effect.” He is known for his books The Tipping Point, Blink, Talking To Strangers, and David and Goliath. Each of these books made a splash in the world of non-fiction literature. You can use our APP to find the bookeys for each of these titles. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today, we will unlock the book Outliers: The Story of Success. In every era, we can find "outliers" who possess exceptional skills and achieve extraordinary feats. They become a symbol of that era, and their extraordinary performances are recorded in history books. It is commonly believed that their success is attributable to personal factors, that they are either gifted or work significantly harder than the average person. For example, we believe that due to Albert Einstein's superior IQ, he was able to become one of the world's greatest physicists. Similarly, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart practiced for 10,000 hours to compose the classic work Piano Concerto No. 9. On the surface, it seems that having a high IQ and undertaking strenuous efforts will lead to success, but this book tells us that they did not rely purely on their talent or hard work to achieve success; their success was influenced by innate strengths, acquired opportunities, and cultural backgrounds. In other words, social and cultural factors gave them an edge over ordinary people. Furthermore, these strengths may be amplified under the effect of a virtuous circle, thus allowing them to outrank ordinary people in competition. So, in addition to their internal factors—superb talent and hard work—we also need to focus on the external factors that contributed to their success: hidden advantages, opportunities, and cultural influences. The author tells us that without these external factors, even someone who has a higher IQ than Einstein is still likely to fall into mediocrity. By thinking out of the box, this book leads us towards more profound opportunities for success. Also, it gives us another way to interpret factors for success. In this bookey, we'll discuss the book in three parts: Part One: Innate strengths Part Two: Acquired opportunities Part Three: Cultural legacies

Malcolm Gladwell (@gladwell) has written multiple bestsellers that are probably on your shelf right now, including The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and Talking to Strangers. His latest book is The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War. What We Discuss with Malcolm Gladwell: Why you're probably worse at detecting when other people are lying to you than you think you are (but at least it's for a good reason). We judge people's honesty based on their demeanor, but not everyone's behavior matches what is expected of them -- which often leads to false impressions. Why do we trust some institutions and people in authority almost without question, and what happens when that trust is (or is perceived to be) violated? How does Malcolm decide what to explore and study for his next book or podcast, and what happens to the ideas that get discarded along the way? Why Malcolm finds storytelling that assembles an imperfect puzzle more satisfying than a flawless conclusion. And much more...
