"Nobody does this sort of thing as well as Joseph Shaules."
--Robert Whiting, author of "Tokyo Underworld" and "You Gotta Have
Wa"
Exciting new research in neuroscience and cognition is
revolutionizing our understanding of human behavior and the mind.
"The Intercultural Mind" is a pioneering look at the new world of
cultural neuroscience and how intercultural experiences can change
the way we think.
It is well known that traveling to a foreign land can teach us
as much about ourselves as the culture we're visiting, but we don't
really know "why" this is the case. "The Intercultural Mind," with
the clarity of thought and intensity of purpose only a rare expert
can bring to this subject, tries to find out.
Mixing the latest studies of the new science of the mind with
the stories of travelers, students, and expatriates, Joseph Shaules
explains in straightforward yet passionate language the cultural
programming of our unconscious "intuitive mind" and sheds light on
the hidden pitfalls of culture shock, bias, ethnocentrism, and
cross-cultural misunderstanding. Every traveler, every sojourner,
will find the insights in this book to be invaluable.
Joseph Shaules, PhD, has been an intercultural trainer and
educator for more than twenty-five years and has written several
books on intercultural topics. He was a founding member and is a
director of the Japan Intercultural Institute and is on the faculty
of Keio University in Tokyo.
