The book "Interpersonal Undercurrents" lucidly explains the intriguing aspects of one's spontaneous reactions against any stimuli. Communication gaps have invariably led people to misunderstand and are the root cause of interpersonal undercurrents.

Positive Psychology is the main factor for inculcating the emotions and empathetic aspects and is vital for avoiding interpersonal undercurrents.
