Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-28 00:00:00 Kenneth Vaughan A cultural anthropologist/communications expert whose upbringing included three cultures (Japanese, Brazilian, and American) takes a very perceptive look at the worldview assumptions that Americans take for granted and that are so much a part of us that we rarely surface or see them. They're too close to us, so we don't see them. This is a very helpful book for an American reader to get a handle on her/his own thinking patterns and assumptions, to better enable her/him to relate and communicate cross-culturally. It is also helpful for anyone studying the culture to learn it and understand how it thinks. Lastly, it's a great book because of the method it demonstrates, of analyzing one's own culture with an objective and one-step removed perspective. We all need to be able to do this, now matter what our culture is, if we wish to make a difference in our now much smaller world.
