Editorial Reviews

None of us likes it when people misunderstand us. It's frustrating! It might make us sad. It might make us mad. Sometimes it makes us feel separated from each other. This book is great because it is a step-by-step, down-to-earth, easy-to-understand explanation of WHY people misunderstand us AND why WE misunderstand them. It gives us a very fundamental rationalization that might help us not to take things quite so personally and to be more patient with one another.

So basic. So simple. This book has helped me to recognize why so much misunderstanding between people occurs and what I can do to become a more empathetic person. It's like common sense in a book.
