    Wonderful conversation. Gladwell is such a thoughtful and interesting person.

      I read “Talking to Strangers.” He can bring so much information together to present a clear picture.

      Yup. The nerd kid in college who tutors the jock in Algebra. He's the Dr. David Viscott, M.D., Ph. D., who helps heal the world. Maybe Malcolm is the antidote to the mind-set of the U. S. Capitol insurrectionists. Too bad, there's one former president who doesn't read. Maybe, Gladwell is the re born Socrates. Heaven has sent us a gift, A need, another Dr. David Viscott, M. D., Ph. D. One can only hope. Stay Calm and 'Gladwell' on. Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca

    Why wouldn't the whole interview be made available? There are numerous moments when you expect Gladwell to elaborate on a comment (which I expect exists on tape somewhere), but then the video cuts to Remnick's next question.

      Exactly. And there's got to be a host of recorded content with Gladwell the New Yorker could put on this channel. Here's a big thumbs up for more :)

    The New Yorker section of Apple News on your iPhone has a very compelling podcast today. The topic of the podcast is “American’s that disappeared on their way traveling to Europe”. You people with the means to travel to Europe should listen to that podcast imho. Just trying to help fellow Americans.

    Now I feel so average. I read his books and listen to his podcasts and I am 45 with 3 kids. I am a woman tho so maybe that makes me special.
    Seriously, I love the alternate perspectives he offers and the new things he helps us learn. And the Elvis song is "Are you Lonesome Tonight?" .... really good podcast, just listened to it today while cleaning out my bedroom.

    @seanwebb605 3 роки тому +1

    I studied print journalism for two years and found it to be miserable. It took me years to realize that I was an essayist. All through middle school and high school I had been writing essays and book reports or giving oral presentations. Getting quotes at a press conference and writing a piece for the same day killed me. How do I write something and put my name on it before I understand the subject? It takes me weeks to really figure out what is important about the story.

    • @greggoreo6738
      @greggoreo6738 Рік тому +1

      I hear you Mr. Webb! Don't despair. Mark Twain was a journalist. Then. He became Samuel Langhorne Clemens...an essayist and Oxford University gave him an honorary doctorate. Ergo, Sean, prepare your acceptance speech for some graduation ceremonies.. stay optimistic and carry on!!! Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca

    I like this kind of interview where you can have a glance at how the author's thinking. At 10:00 Malcolm describes his last book as "it's about dealing with the strangers" which tells us a lot more than the actual title _Talking with strangers_ once you read it.

      It's always a good strategy to accuse other people of what you are doing. This deflects attention better than anything else.

  • @bismaali8043
    @bismaali8043 4 роки тому +2

    Great interview - but is it just me or is it unsettling a bit that Malcolm missed the opportunity to look into the Central Park jogger's accused suspects. I wonder how the course of those lives would have been different had he spent the opportunity to look into them.

    • @madisonestes6124
      @madisonestes6124 3 роки тому +2

      The article was due a couple days after the jogger was attacked. They probably didn't have any suspects yet. Police probably wouldn't have talked to him about even if they did because that makes it harder to investigate if the suspects are reported and know police are onto them. They are more likely to flee.

  • @marshacreary2442
    @marshacreary2442 6 років тому

    :49-2:15 So the nature of the articles never required a depth of understanding about the person being interviewed? Why was he content injecting his opinions and presumptions rather than actually delving into what the story was? Did that method cause long and short term issues with the subjects? In what ways? Its interesting that most of what he describes has to do with ruminations rather than facts and in depth investigation

  • @marshacreary2442
    @marshacreary2442 6 років тому

    Articles that rely heavily on 'revisionist history' create skewed perceptions and inflated ideas which have real consequences. How does or did he deal with the ramifications of those types of articles?

  • @marshacreary2442

    Books don't last forever. Most won't survive 100 years. We mock the language and ideas of most books written less than 50 years ago. There are expectations of podcasts now. It's sad that he is producing one without understanding the expectations.

    • @seekeroftruth1200

      I thought the 10K hr rule was a broad generalization. Someone with natural talent may need only 6K hr to develop that talent.

    • @patmebg3794
      @patmebg3794 3 роки тому +2

      It's not his rule sweetheart, he referenced Psychologists and gave examples, one of which said so himself. Besides he is not the only nonfiction author to use the 10,000 rule to substantiate his arguments.
