Since the beginning of time, communication is essential in any relationship regardless of whether it is in a personal, social or professional setting. A lack of understanding in communication is potential for chaos.

Communication, seen on its own, is already a relatively complex issue given that everyone is different, each possessing his or her own set of ideas and prejudices.

Here, Annis focuses on the common problems in communication between men and women, their differences in views and interpretations – same words but of a different language, gender conflicts and some effective ways of resolving these differences.

The author highlights issues that are often left “unattended' with real life examples and insights from both sexes. This is a useful text as it examines how men and women relate to one another and offers practical advice on how to create a win-win situation in communication and relationships.
