Think about the last time you spoke to a stranger. Maybe it was someone you happened to meet on the sidewalk or at the park. Maybe it was a chat with a delivery person or a hairstylist.
In his new book, “Encounterism: The Neglected Joys of Being In Person,” Andy Field argues that the daily, unplanned interactions we have with strangers might be the key to a better life.
From dancing to climbing trees and meeting new people — “Encounterism” paints a picture of the value that in-person interaction can have on our lives.
We sit down with Field to talk about it.
