The art of misunderstanding.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

There is no freedom without mutual understanding<\/span><\/p>\n

Albert Camus<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

In our increasingly complex world, it can be difficult to gain a comprehensive overview.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is that nobody has perfect, strictly objective information about a situation. Even seemingly contradictory information can be valid, it may simply come from a different perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not only the case for complex situations. Even a single statement between two people allows various interpretations on the speaker's and listener's side.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This can be well illustrated using Schulz von Thun's four-sides model (also known as four-ears model or communication square).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to this, each message has 4 levels, each of which may be interpreted differently by the speaker and recipient.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u00b4s suppose I tell you:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"I have a lot to do right now.\"<\/span><\/p>\n
