This book is about that gap. The space between what one person means and what another person hears. The invisible distance that exists in every conversation, every relationship, every moment of human connection. It is about why we so desperately want to understand each other, and why understanding - real understanding, not the polite version we perform in daily life - is so much harder than we think. But it is also about something deeper than that. Something that goes beyond this single lifetime. Because if understanding requires shared experience, and no single life can contain all experiences, then how does understanding ever become possible? The answer to that question is the heart of this book.
