«Wie wirklich ist die Wirklichkeit?» is the essay by Paul Watzlawick, published by Piper Verlag GmbH in paperback (251 pages, in German).
Reality, according to Watzlawick, is not an objective fact but the result of communication between people. With surprising and often humorous examples, the author shows how illusions, deceptions and misunderstandings generate incompatible views of reality, and invites readers to question certainties and accept uncertainty.
The subtitle of the work is «Wahn, Täuschung, Verstehen»; it was originally published in 1976 and this edition is from 2005, with 251 pages.
For readers of psychology, philosophy and communication interested in the social construction of reality.
Paul Watzlawick was an Austrian-American family therapist, psychologist, communication theorist, and philosopher. A theoretician in communication theory and radical constructivism, he commented in the fields of family therapy and general psychotherapy. Watzlawick believed that people create their own suffering in the very act of trying to fix their emotional problems. He was one of the most influential figures at the Mental Research Institute and lived and worked in Palo Alto, California.
