Selective Hearing and Other Mysterious Ailments

Communication goes wrong in the funniest, most frustrating ways - selective hearing, missing tools, forgotten instructions, and the classic "That's not what I meant!" Selective Hearing and Other Mysterious Ailments is your entertaining, psychology‑backed guide to understanding why people mishear, misplace, misunderstand, and miscommunicate... and how to finally get through to them.

This book blends humor, real‑life scenarios, relationship dynamics, workplace mishaps, and behavioral science to reveal the hidden patterns behind everyday communication breakdowns. With sharp insights and laugh‑out‑loud moments, it shows readers how to decode human behavior and communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.

• The psychology behind "lost" tools, forgotten tasks, and mixed messages

• How tiny misunderstandings turn into major frustration

• Practical strategies to get heard and understood - at home, at work, anywhere
