Into the book
If you can't handle words and concepts in an abstract and organized manner, you're likely to be perceived by those around you as long-winded and lacking in points.
Conversely, if you're good at abstraction, you'll be seen as someone who can explain key points concisely.

From another perspective, language is linked to an abstract concept—a way of thinking that cannot be concretely expressed and can only be expressed through language.
Therefore, for someone who does not know a specific word or concept, hearing an unfamiliar word can be quite frustrating as they cannot understand the concept behind it.

For example, this is one of the reasons why many people feel offended when foreign words they are not familiar with are used.
The frustration stems not just from not knowing the words, but from not understanding the very mindset behind those words.
And the words and concepts of concrete and abstract, which are covered in this book, are representative examples of such things.

Too often, using the words concrete and abstract, we spend a lot of time and words explaining something that could be expressed in a single word, but it ends up being misunderstood and communication broken.
Addressing these issues is one of the goals of this book.
