Why Don’t You Understand Me?

In Why Don’t You Understand Me?, behavioral scientist and psychologist Yael Schonbrun explores how misunderstanding stems from perception rather than communication, revealing that our inner filters and interpretations shape our interactions. Drawing on two decades of experience and relationship science, the book offers practical strategies to bridge divides in personal, societal, and even interspecies connections. Through compelling stories, it highlights how understanding is rooted within us and can be cultivated to transform conflicts into deeper connections.
