The Best Strangers in the World: Stories from a Life Spent Listening

The Best Strangers in the World is a heartwarming and poignant memoir-in-essays from beloved NPR host Ari Shapiro.

This book takes readers on a global journey to reveal the stories behind narratives that are sometimes heartbreaking, but always poignant.

Through his time traveling with President Obama, following the path of Syrian refugees, and learning from those fighting for social justice, Shapiro shows us the power of connection and commonality in a world filled with self-reinforcing bubbles.

With passion and conviction, he reminds us that before religion, nationality, or politics, we are all human.

This book is a testament to one journalist's love for considering all things and sharing what he finds with the rest of us.
