In 'The Nonsense of Sense or the Sense of Nonsense', Paul Watzlawick explores the fragility of the concept of reality, showing how it is constructed from the paradoxes and contradictions of everyday life. Through brilliant quotes and accessible reflections, the author invites readers to become aware that reality is, in essence, the sense or nonsense that we attribute to things and events. This book offers an innovative perspective on how to give meaning even to the seemingly absurd, enriching our understanding of the world and ourselves.
Paul Watzlawick was an Austrian-American family therapist, psychologist, communication theorist, and philosopher.
