"After I skipped the introduction, which I HIGHLY recommend, I am finding this book very interesting. Since I live in Korea, it is helping me to understand the culture I am surrounded by. I discussed the fundamental differences between Easter thought and Western thought. If you've ever spent time in Asia or are planning to, I'd recommend reading this. It isn't a light read though so be prepared."
"In an incredibly intriguing, well-executed, and careful mix of psychology, philosophy, history, sociology, and linguistics, Nisbett looks at the cognitive differences between Asians and Westerners. It seems complicated, but Nisbett organizes and explains his ideas very well. This book was so thought-provoking and insightful - I highly recommend it! I have to admit I was dubious about this at first based on the title alone; it seemed it could use faulty science to demonstrate racist ideas, like in The Bell Curve. Instead, the book turned out to be rather thoughtful and generally objective and fair. When Nisbett adds his own opinions, he is very clear that he is inserting himself."
"As someone who lives in the between the words of Western and Asian thought, I had to get my hands on this book. This book had some wonderful material but could have used some just never had that WOW moment where something just clicked. It's really a shame because this topic is really just up my alley.
The difference can be summarized as follows: Eastern thought tends to be more holistic, cyclical, and relationship-oriented. While Western thought tends to be more modular, linear, and object-oriented.
The book (unintentionally?) aims for a higher-brow audience who would appreciate a more PhD vocabulary and writing style. I found it off-putting. Though I don't think the authors intentionally wrote it that way, it's just the way they think. Perhaps, they should write a book on PhD thought process vs. common thought process."
