book: Geography of Thought

Geography of Thought
How Asians and Westerners Think Differently … and Why
By Richard Nisbett

This book was a very insightful collection of psychology studies comparing people in the United States and Europe to counterparts in Asia (mostly Japan, Korea, and China). The book was given to me by Courtney Smith last year and I finally got around to reading it. It was a quick read (one airplane ride) and the book was quite insightful. I recommend picking this up – especially if you are doing business in Asia.

I read this a couple years ago. Agree it's good. Really interesting to compare how cultural backgrounds affect thought processes.
