  Talking to Strangers: What We...

  For most of history, people lived in small, tight-knit communities where interactions were with familiar faces. But with the Age of Exploration, strangers became a regular part of life. Misunderstandings, amplified by language barriers and cultural differences, were common, and these issues still persist today, even among people who speak the same language. It's easy to make assumptions about how others see the world, and it’s difficult to avoid the biases we carry. 
  Some misunderstandings arise because of lies, and lies can be incredibly difficult to detect. Some deceivers are skilled at hiding their dishonesty, while others may lie poorly, yet still manage to gain people’s trust. It’s not that people are naïve; rather, humans are wired to trust others by default. This tendency, coupled with the belief that we’re good at reading character, often leads us astray. 
  The consequences of misjudging others can be severe—ranging from financial loss and wrongful imprisonment to life-threatening situations. It’s essential to be mindful of the gaps in our understanding and work to see things from others’ perspectives.

  Spellbound - My Life as a...

  This program is read by the author, comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley, who reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it—a realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Hanley tells us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life—it’s been his North Star.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
