When was the last time you spoke to a stranger?   In our cities  we barely acknowledge one

never met. But what if strangers  long believed to be the cause of many of our problems  were
actually the solution?  In The Power of Strangers   Joe Keohane discovers the surprising
benefits that come from talking to strangers  examining how even passing interactions can
enhance empathy  happiness and cognitive development  ease loneliness and isolation  and root
us in the world  deepening our sense of belonging. Warm  witty  erudite and profound  this
deeply researched book will make you reconsider how you perceive and approach strangers 
showing you how talking to strangers isn't just not a way to live  it's a way to survive.
