As part of my celebration, as a person with a rare disease (Myositis), I read this book because I can so relate to the title. After being misdiagnosed for 12 years (and yes, I had a stunned look the first time), I looked even more shocked/bewildered I'm sure, when it turns out I had something entirely different. Similar, yet very different.Since my first diagnosis, I made it my mission to attend the University of Google, and learn everything about polymyositis. In fact, I had a doctorate that disease. But after finding out I had inclusion body myositis (IBM, same disease Peter Frampton has), I got a second doctorate in that.I talk to a lot of people about my disease--and a lot of people talk to me about it. Many people speak my language--but I read papers, and sit in seminars and lectures where sometimes, the medical types and researchers wander off in to folded proteins, and T-cells, and KLRK1 antibodies, and well, I'm lost.And god forbid I try to tell any other type of doctor about myositis! They are a doctor, they know everything about me, even though I just met them three minutes ago (as happened in an EXTREMELY unfortunate ER encounter), and they had to google Myositis. They decided my chief complaint was something they could fix, even though I knew my incurable, untreatable medical condition did not have the label they had assigned to me. No one listened to me, with my doctorate of 17 years living with the disease. What did I know, there was no MD after my name.To get back to Alda's book, wow, is this needed in the scientific and medical community. It is difficult to explain and communicate a lot of very complex information. Challenging. Hard. I wish many more in the vital area of research and the medical field would take some type of training, or embrace the concepts outlined in the book. I so enjoyed the stories that accompanied the examples. They just hit the mark in terms of true, often poignant and humorous ways, that we all think we speak the same language--but we don't.Read this book, for knowledge, for use, for entertainment. Maybe next time you have a heart to heart with your doctor, he or she won't sound like Charlie Brown's teacher--wah wah, wah-wah's, wah wah...and if they do, have the courage to stop them. Communication does go both ways. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book for Anybody who Communicates with other Humans *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2022* I first listened to this on a digital book, and was so taken by its content that I bought a hard copy. This book should be mandatory reading for any industry that calls for human to human communication telephonically, digitally, or face to face. I was pleased that my misconception of Alan Alda as being an unserious player in this, was blown away by the scholarly work! The degree of depth and detail along with his story-telling drove the points of the book home, all 20 chapters. I hope that he reads these and what to thank him for this OPUS MAGNUM! I will read again this time with a pen in had to underscore and dog ear the book. Thanks Hawkeye! OH! I wholeheartedly recommend reading and absorbing the content of this book and incorporating it into your relationships! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth a read as all of us should work on communication *by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2019* I’ve always been a fan of Alan Alda (circa: M*A*S*H), and also his narrating and interviewing in various documentaries. He has a wonderful speaking voice and is the consummate professional actor. I was curious about this book and have enjoyed reading his studies and reseRch in human behavior and why so many of us are inept at getting our point across. I occasionally got bored with some of the research and would switch to another book such as a novel but I kept this book by my bedside and finished it fairly quickly - especially on days when I would be out and run into people who just plain never learned how to communicate and what should be communicated vs. what needs to be left unsaid (aka: social media users). I would come back to this book and try to underscore certain concepts that we all should really be taught in school. I grew up with a father who was an excellent hardware salesman and he had a knack for what to say, when to say it, and his to say it. Dad was a big “Dale Carnegie, “How to Wkn Friends and Influence People,” fan, and it truly worked for him as people loved my dad. He put Dale Carnegie’s lessons in front of all three of his kids. I’ve often wondered why public schools don’t include these time-honored concepts in as graduation requirements. Not all kids are cut out for STEM (Science, Technology, Engjneering & Math) but EVERYONE will have to deal with people for the rest of their lives. Alan Alda has captured many of these points in this book with his graceful and often humorous prose. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58507953-if-i-understood-you-would-i-have-this-look-on](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58507953-if-i-understood-you-would-i-have-this-look-on) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
