    Don't travel without reading this

    We tend to see the world from our own point of view. This little book helps you to see things from different cultural view points. If you are traveling to a different cultural region of the world, this little book is worth its weight in gold. Avoid missunderstandings and confusion about the sometimes baffling behavior of people.

    Great

    I read this for one of my classes. It was great and insightful on how people of different cultures interact with each other. Highly recommend it.
