Don't Leave home without it! No, not your credit card, I mean Joe
Lurie's master class of miscommunication across cultures, PERCEPTION AND
DECEPTION, A MIND-OPENING JOURNEY ACROSS CULTURES.
   
 This is a priceless book for anyone who travels and wants to
navigate the minefields of misunderstandings that arise because of
cultural differences. A lifetime of practical experience, a compendium
of cultural challenges, and a wicked wit combine to make this book an
indispensable volume for all those planning to step beyond their
cultural village. Oh, how I wish this book had been available when I
began my international career-how many fewer people I would have
inadvertently offended."

Reviewed by  Ken Kashiwahara originally for Amazon
" Read It!  This should be required reading not just for overseas travelers, but for anyone living in an increasingly diversified and multi-cultural world who wants to create a more understanding and accepting society. Hopefully that's all of us.
 
   As a globetrotting journalist and retiree, I have been exposed to many differences in attitude and behavior around the world and here in the U. S., which I always accepted but now admit never fully understood. Even in my 37 year bicultural marriage, behavior and practices I assumed to be quirks or the result of upbringing, I now realize are based in culture and tradition. Yes, 'Perception and Deception' opened my mind.
Mr. Joe (a title referenced in the book) not only explains cultural differences but more importantly why they exist. Even if that doesn't lead to total acceptance, at least it can help us become more tolerant, something today's world so desperately needs."
