ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Observing Cultural Differences
~ Written on Aug 25, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

This book is an easy read, and takes much of the observable cultural differences and explains them simply for the layperson. I am a missionary preparing for cross cultural ministry and will share this book with my partners back in the states so they can have a better understanding of what we are experiencing.

Quick read with useful information
~ Written on May 18, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

I found this to be a very readable book; there is a lot of information presented both concisely and clearly. Well worth a read for anyone planning on spending time in other countries, or anyone who interacts with those from other cultures. Which makes it useful for pretty much everybody.

Clarifying cultural confusion
~ Written on Apr 6, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

I wish I had read this book a few years ago. Working at a foreign-owned company with a completely different cultural bias has been difficult, but this book clearly explains the characteristics of other cultures. I use the lessons taught in this book daily to help understand the cultural differences between myself any my co-workers.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is concerned about living or working in an environment culturally different from their own.

Concise. Very insightful. Good stories. Easy to read and memorable. The summary section at the end of each chapter is helpful for triggering the key points in your memory.

The Readers Digest of cultural understanding
~ Written on Aug 9, 2007. out of users found this review helpful.

Nothing I've seen is more clearly and heart warmingly convincing of the advantages to understanding other cultures. The person who reads and rereads this book will have keys to life skills that will serve them in all professional contexts, all relationships, all cultures.

This is profundity made accessible and simple.
