It was a good informative book that went well with the class. gave a good view on the cultures of the world and what one can do to improve relationships with those from different cultures than yourself. make me think about how to communicate effectively with people that i know and see weekly from different cultures. good book overall, especially to those who want to go traveling and see other cultures.
