This is one of the best psychology books I have ever read. Not only does it provide advice on how to treat people from certain cultures, it teaches the reader about the culture itself. This book is a marriage of cultural studies and psychology. While the book is large, the reader shouldn't be intimidated by its size. The book is broken up into several (50+) chapters and each chapter focuses on one culture. The book doesn't have to be read cover to cover. Each chapter is free standing.

As an ordained minister and seminary teacher, I offered relevant chapters of this book to many people, particularly to couples from different ethnic and religious backgrounds preparing for marriage, and in marriage counseling. I also used it in classes in personal ethics and moral theology, where my students found the insights enlightening. As a tool for extending self-understanding and compassion toward people whose formative experience is different from one's own it is an invaluable resource. It was so useful that my copies of the book would not infrequently go missing, so I had to buy new copies several times.
