About the book
Richard Nisbett explores the fundamental differences between Western and Eastern modes of thinking, revealing how culture shapes our cognition, perceptions, and ways of reasoning. Through research in psychology and anthropology, the author demonstrates that logic, causality, and even the way we process visual information are profoundly influenced by the cultural tradition in which we grow up.
An essential work for understanding why people from different backgrounds see the world in such distinct ways, and how to expand our own mental repertoire by learning from other cognitive perspectives.
