When was the last time you spoke to a stranger? In our cities  we barely acknowledge one
another on public transport  even as rates of loneliness skyrocket. Online  we carefully curate
who we interact with. In our politics  we are increasingly consumed by a fear of people we've
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.
