Why the Japanese Are a Superior People!: The Advantages of Using Both Sides of Your Brain!

This book covers the elements in Japan's traditional culture that have made them remarkably successful in virtually all of their endeavors. De Mente attributes the special knowledge and skills of the Japanese to the premise that they are primarily right-brain oriented as a result of their vowel-heavy language. in addition to such topics as emotions vs. reason, the "fuzzy" [holistic] thinking of the Japanese vs. the linear thinking of other people, the diligence factor in Japanese behavior, and quality vs. profit, De Mente identifies a long list of views and practices that distinguish the Japanese from left-brain oriented people-and are important for foreigners to know about.
