In Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling, Duncan Taub including how it may be used to show concern, start play, and push boundaries in different kinds of relationships. According to Taub's research, tickling serves as a subtle kind of nonverbal communication that may either strengthen bonds between people or reveal underlying conflicts.

What I like about this book is its daring choice to tackle a subject that is seldom explored with such seriousness and academic rigour. Tickling, a common yet understudied phenomenon, is brought to the forefront, offering a fresh lens through which to view our daily interactions and the subtleties of human touch. The novelty of the topic is intriguing; it challenges me to reconsider a behaviour I had previously not given much thought to, despite its prevalence in everyday life. The pioneering nature of this book is particularly exciting to me. It feels as though I am part of a new wave of readers and thinkers who are delving into uncharted territory. 

The book's exploration of tickling breaks new ground, inviting curiosity and sparking conversations that might otherwise never occur. It's refreshing to encounter a work that doesn't retread familiar paths but instead forges its own, highlighting an aspect of human behaviour that is universal yet often goes unnoticed. This book stands out as a testament to the value of examining the overlooked and the mundane. It encourages me to look beyond the obvious and to find depth and meaning in the nuances of human behaviour. This is what I find most compelling about the book—the way it invites me to expand my understanding of the world around me, one sensation at a time.

There is nothing to dislike about this book. The book commendably offers a broad and detailed exploration of the role of tickling in women's lives, covering a wide range of topics from cultural practices to personal anecdotes. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thought-provoking and unconventional topics.

I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because of its daring exploration of a seldom-discussed topic with academic rigour and seriousness, it is commendable. It brings tickling to the forefront, offering a fresh perspective on human interaction and touch. The novelty of the subject matter is intriguing, challenging readers to reconsider a common behaviour often overlooked. Its pioneering nature breaks new ground, sparking curiosity and conversations that may not have occurred otherwise. The book stands out for its ability to find depth and meaning in the nuances of human behaviour, inviting readers to expand their understanding of the world.
