It’s early January 2026. More than five years have passed since I publishedmy last book.
In the meantime, the world of communication has changed — and not necessarilyfor the better.

We live in an age of lifehacks, quick formulas, and promises like “say thisand you’ll get what you want.” At the same time, in my work with teams andleaders, I see something troubling: empathy is declining, rigidity is increasing,and communication is becoming more technical — and less human.

By October this year, I plan to publish a new book on communicationpsychology titled:

Adequate Business Communication –
From Fake and Ineffective to Real and Convincing

This book is not about tricks, scripts, or “perfect phrases.”
It’s about fit. Context. The other person. And yourself.

One of the first chapters — which you’re about to read here in anot-yet-fully-polished version — starts with a simple but uncomfortablequestion:

Does perfect communication exist?

And if it doesn’t, what do we do with our obsession with perfection?

In this excerpt, I explore:

· why “speaking correctly” is not enough,

· why the same words can be brilliant in onesituation and disastrous in another,

· and why good communication is not about beingunfiltered-authentic, but about being appropriately authentic.

The text isn’t fully proofread yet. That’s intentional. I’m sharing it as aninvitation to reflection and dialogue.
Your feedback will tell me whether this book is heading in the right direction— or whether it needs adjustment.

👉 This is where the journey of the newbook begins.

I know this may be controversial, and some people might feel uncomfortableor even angry hearing this. But it’s worth asking: what happens when hiring,leadership, or team decisions are influenced by zodiac signs, numbers, or“energetic profiles”? In an increasingly complex world, shortcuts feeltempting. But what does science actually say — and what are the hidden costs ofputting people into neat but fictional boxes?

We’re surrounded by AI tools that make communication feel safer and easier.But what happens to our real-life relationships when we remove allinterpersonal risk? Can fluency replace the ability to truly listen, feel, andunderstand another human being?

Have you ever noticed how quickly weput people into boxes?
“He’s an introvert.” “She’s a born leader.”
It feels efficient — but what do we lose when we start believing our ownlabels?

In business, labelling can feel likeclarity, but it often distorts reality.
Because behind every “type” is a person — and behind every person, a story thatdoesn’t fit neatly into categories.

Praise can be a powerful tool formotivation, but did you know it can also have unintended consequences? Whetherit's making someone more vulnerable to future challenges or even backfiring ina conversation, the way we offer praise matters. In both personal andprofessional settings, it's essential to consider how and why we give feedback.
