WHEN HARMLESS BECOMES HARMFUL

What if you’re not wrong  but you’re repeating yourself one time too many times? In When Harmless Becomes Harmful, Abhishek Gilara explores a subtle but powerful truth about human relationships: most irritation is unintentional, but almost all of it is preventable. Through real-life family moments, psychology, neuroscience, and insights drawn from decades of writing on discipline and emotional intelligence, this book explains: • Why good intentions don’t cancel irritation • How repetition turns jokes, care, and advice into emotional noise • Why close relationships are more sensitive, not more tolerant • How stopping early saves connection • Why a timely apology is strength, not weakness This is not a book about fixing others. It is a book about checking yourself. For parents, partners, siblings, leaders, and anyone who values relationships over ego, this book offers a simple but life-changing habit: Pause. Notice. Stop. Apologize. Reset. Because relationships don’t break from cruelty. They break from irritation that stayed too long.
