These punctual Germans

Knowledge and wisdom from other cultures are a valuable source for new ideas and solutions. Different social concepts and wise teachings will allow you to look at familiar problems in a new way and inspire you to improve your life... and find new paths. Professor Gundula Gwen Hiller, a recognized expert in intercultural communication and diversity, invites you to embark on an exciting journey and learn what we can gain from other cultures, as well as what makes our own unique. The author's intercultural experience is impressive: over 20 years of research, living in five countries, and more than 50 behind her. In this book, she has gathered all her knowledge about the worldviews of different peoples, which she happily shares with you. You will look at representatives of other cultures through the eyes of German residents: you won't be able to resist the restrained charm of Scandinavian concepts of hygge and lagom, you will find your ikigai, appreciate the philosophy of wabi-sabi, grasp zen, and be surprised to discover that these seemingly different Germans are actually much closer than they appear at first glance. This book will have a colossal impact on all areas of your life: communication, relationships, health, profession, and personal happiness.
