«A thoughtful and enlightening book based on a cross-cultural odyssey and enriched with social consciousness. Harnessing the concepts of yin and yang, the author has deciphered the fascinating kaleidoscope of American culture. The book will benefit cross-cultural trainers, diplomats, international business leaders, and the global reading public.»
Dr. DaChang Cong, Head of American Studies Program, University of Texas at Dallas
«For those Americans who wish to follow the adage, 'Know thyself, this straightforward book can be a guide.»
