Review
"This is an astounding book. Watzlawick waltzes with ease and elegance through semantic traps, pitfalls in logic and all the other contraptions by which 'people can drive each other crazy' or, as he so correctly observes, by which they 'communicate'....This is popularization in the best sense, that is, where complexity is not simplified but clarified." -- Heinz Von Foerster
Book Description
The connection between communication and reality is a relatively new idea. It is only in recent decades that the confusions, disorientations and very different world views that arise as a result of communication have become an independent field of research. One of the experts who has been working in this field is Dr. Paul Watzlawick, and he here presents, in a series of arresting and sometimes very funny examples, some of the findings.
