Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently...and Why

The classic work of psychology that shows how cultural origins inform the very nature of our thought - and even what we can see.

This groundbreaking book shows how differing ecologies, social structures, philosophies and educational systems in East Asia and the West have echoed down the generations and affect the way our minds work today.

At a moment when the need for cross-cultural understanding has never been greater, The Geography of Thought helps us re-evaluate the underlying assumptions that we make about the world, and offers profound insight into different ways of thinking.
