Talking to Strangers 2
Talking to Strangers doesn’t solve the problem of reading people, but it gives readers the ability to be aware of other people and more aware of oneself. We need to realize that we are all bad at knowing if someone is lying. We also need to realize that people don’t always act according to the broad assumptions we have as to how they act. We need to have caution and empathy when we talk to strangers.

Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell

Loserthink
Loserthink is about seeing what ways we all think about things that just don't make sense or move us forward to better understand an issue. Sometimes it's just a matter of not thinking logically, but other times it's falling easily for a hoax or using a false argument. Loserthink is a good book for everyone to read to become aware of their own weaknesses in how they think about issues, especially during a time when it's hard to trust social media and the news.

You Can't Make Me 1
You Can’t Make Me gives a lot of examples and stories from real life, which make the book very relatable. By first explaining how strong-willed children think, a parent gains insight into why the child acts like he or she does. It’s in their nature to fight for a choice in life because deep down, they know they can’t be made to do anything if they’re willing to face the consequences.
