Summary
'Why didn't you return my message?'

I'll Get Back to You explains why we get upset over unreturned messages and offers concrete solutions so you can change this.

Fading are the days of direct communication by phone or in person, which have immediate responses and clarifications. The immediate feedback loop has been replaced by 'broken loops' of communication. Now, due to hundreds of emails and texts, endless waiting, perpetual unreturned messages, and unlimited misunderstanding, we are in a Dyscommunication Crisis. This gives rise to the 'Dyscommunication Syndrome'-a cluster of symptoms that comes together and repeats when our message is not returned, including anxiety, worst-case scenarios, catastrophizing, and negative loops of thinking.

I'll Get Back to You explains the science behind the Dyscommunication Syndrome. It includes captivating, real life stories about dating, relationships, family, and work-so you can relate it to your own life. With concrete advice, I'll Get Back to You provides tested tactics, so your messages are promptly returned; solutions for when your message is not returned; exercises and tips for self-improvement; and quick and easy techniques to calm your mind.

I really enjoyed reading this book and it covering something no one really talks about . It will be beneficial to both myself and my clients. I work as a personal development and career coach and I see how the psychological stress caused by emails, texts, and social media is a serious problem. I appreciate the tools this book offered to help my clients. What I found most intriguing is the psychology behind why we do this. No one has ever linked fear and a worst-case mindset to the brain's workings. This negative cycle is commonly attributed to low-esteem, upbringing, genetics, insecurity, negative conditioning, and other factors. Sam George’s argument that our rational mind is the source of our irrational fears and thinking is provocative.
