Summary
Taught by an international adviser to leaders of Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and governments, this eye-opening course reveals how you can actively improve your cultural intelligence in an increasingly globalized world.
Based on groundbreaking research, these 24 lectures address dynamics and customs related to working, socializing, dining, marriage and family - all the areas necessary to help you function with a greater level of respect and effectiveness wherever you go. You'll also encounter practical tips and crucial context for greeting, interacting with, and even managing people from other parts of the world.
In the first half, you'll analyze 10 cultural value dimensions that researchers have identified as helpful for comparing cultures; and you'll see how these "archetypes" play out in day-to-day lives. In the second half, you'll look at 10 cultural clusters around the world that - when combined with your understanding of the 10 cultural dimensions - provide strategic insight into how to be more effective as you live, work, and travel in our globalized world.
Why do people from certain cultures have little regard for time? Why might working overtime reflect poorly on you in Scandinavia? Why should you avoid using your left hand when interacting with someone from the Arab world? You'll find out the answers to these and other intriguing questions in Customs of the World.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Comprehensive and logical construction
Would you listen to Customs of the World: Using Cultural Intelligence to Adapt, Wherever You Are again? Why?
Yes. It has such a comprehensive presentation of the subject that it is necessary to listen again to digest every morsel of information.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, too much to take in at one go. Better to disect it into maneagable chunks.

Good, you can take his ideas.
In general is accurate : )
I have asked to Thai and Japanese people about the anecdotes and stories, they confirmed them. However, regarding latinamerican culture, is generally accurate, not totally. But he is the expert, so I am open to check this with other latinamericans.

Very good
I've always been a bit on the smug side about my cultural awareness, having been very fortunate to travel a lot since childhood, and work in many different countries since, but I found these lectures very interesting with a good framework behind them. Well presented too, highly recommended!

Culturally insighto and easy to digest
The authoritative but very accessible delivery by a professor so immersed in the subject was brilliant. 30 minutes on each topic was a perfect introduction and made the commute something to look forward to!

Provides really basic details and does not give deep diving in any area. Still entertaining due to different stories in each chapter.
