Item Description
The Music Hall's Writers on a New England Stage and Writers in the Loft series welcome an array of celebrated, best-selling authors to our stages. This item is a collection of some of the best non-fiction books we've discovered - signed by the authors! - exploring how we relate to one another (or don't) and how that prepares us for life in this fractured time.
Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell
(2019) Hardcover
Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the number one New York Times best seller Outliers, reinvents the audiobook in this immersive production of TALKING TO STRANGERS, a powerful examination of our interactions with people we don't know.
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true?
Grit by Angela Duckworth
(2018) Softcover
The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.
Know-It-All Society by Michael Patrick Lynch
(2019) Hardcover
Taking stock of our fragmented political landscape, Michael Patrick Lynch delivers a trenchant philosophical take on digital culture and its tendency to make us into dogmatic know-it-alls. The internet where most shared news stories are not even read by the person posting them has contributed to the rampant spread of “intellectual arrogance.” In this culture, we have come to think that we have nothing to learn from one another; we are rewarded for emotional outrage over reflective thought; and we glorify a defensive rejection of those different from us.
