I listened to Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell and was pleasantly surprised at how useful it was to me as an auditor. It speaks to how well we understand others and how our bias affects our perception. In Malcolm Gladwell fashion it's all done through very good telling of actual events, none of which is related to business or accounting:)
