À propos de ce contenu audio

In The Japanese Mind, Roger Davies offers Westerners an invaluable key to the unique aspects of Japanese culture.

Listeners of this book will gain a clear understanding of what makes the Japanese, and their society, tick. Among the topics explored: aimai (ambiguity), amae (dependence upon others' benevolence), amakudari (the nation's descent from heaven), chinmoku (silence in communication), gambari (perseverance), giri (social obligation), haragei (literally, "belly art"; implicit, unspoken communication), kenkyo (the appearance of modesty), sempai-kohai (seniority), wabi-sabi (simplicity and elegance), and zoto (gift giving), as well as discussions of child-rearing, personal space, and the roles of women in Japanese society.

All in all, this book is an easy-to-use introduction to the distinguishing characteristics of Japanese society; an invaluable resource for anyone - business people, travelers, or students - perfect for course adoption, but also for anyone interested in Japanese culture.

    As somebody who has never been to Japan until now, I think this is a wonderful way to understand the Japanese mind. I really like the reader a lot and I sometimes just buy audiobooks because he’s reading them.

    The only thing that might be offputting is the discussion section in each chapter . This is of course made for the classroom but totally unnecessary as an audiobook.

    But again, it is a very useful book, a quick read and easy to understand .

    A course book as an audiobook

    I have enjoyed the fact that the explanations are not judgmental but just seen as a western angle. The explanations are clear and illustrated, though for those who never experienced living in Japan it can be a bit confusing. I just regret that the reader does not pronounce Japanese words correctly.

    Good introduction to understand Japanese way of thinking
