PARALLAX: What Estrangement Revealed About the Reality I Thought I Knew
Parallax
You trust what you remember.
What you saw. What you felt. What you learned. What experience taught you to expect.
Together, those things form something so convincing that you rarely think to question it.
Reality.
When an unexpected estrangement shattered Sarah Reed’s understanding of a relationship she thought she knew, she went looking for an explanation. Instead, she found herself questioning something much how the mind constructs the reality we experience, how the past continues to shape what we see, and how two people can stand inside the same history and come away with completely different truths.
Parallax follows that investigation as it unfolds, moving through memory, perception, identity, relationships, emotion, prediction, and the invisible processes happening beneath conscious thought.
This isn’t a book about finding someone to blame.
It’s about what happens when the explanation you started with stops being enough.
And what becomes visible when you finally change where you’re standing.

I enjoyed this book a lot and I related to it on a lot of levels with several things in which I have had several experiences that are the same. I really appreciated Sarah's vulnerability in this book and would like her for putting herself out there because it was definitely helpful for me.
