Reading the Japanese Mind
by Robert M. March
Who are the Japanese? This question has tantalized and bewildered the West ever since Japan opened its borders to the world in the last century. Are the Japanese really the guileless, polite, and hardworking people that they appear to be? Or do appearances mask a calculating, secretive interior? Can we ever understand their ways of thinking? Robert March - psychologist, management consultant, and long-term professor at a major Tokyo university - spent nearly twenty years living in Japan and, as the ultimate insider, offers fresh insights into these and other questions. Deploying a wealth of sources, March delves behind the social mask that the Japanese present to the outside world to reveal their "inner culture". He highlights their modes of thinking and communication, the originality of their culture, the central role of social status, their ways of making friends and influencing others, and their addiction to perfection. March also addresses two topics of prime significance to all students of modern Japan. He reflects on the "goodness" of the Japanese people and the ethical quality of their society and business practices. And in the final chapter, he discusses the social and political significance of Aum Shinrikyo, the bizarre cult responsible for the indiscriminate gas attacks that terrorized Tokyo in 1995.

The Outnation: A Search for the Soul of Japan
Rauch, Jonathan
Boston, Mass.: Harvard Business School Pres. April 1992. Hardcover. Near Fine /No Dustjacket. Freelance journalist Rauch sets out to decipher the Japanese mindset in an edifying volume that analyzes Japan's contradictory aspects and swift rise to prominence in the world market. His observations on Japanese politics, e ducation, business, hierarchies and homogeneity are loosely strung together and presented in concise segments, each less than a page long. Fallows ( M ore Like Us ), who differs with Rauch on matters of Japanese economics, poi nts out in his foreword the difficulties in creating a lucid portrait of su ch a puzzling culture. Rauch's extravagant praise of Japanese skin and hair may cause readers to squirm, even if some Japanese are equally curious abo ut blonds; his acceptance of Japan's notions of fairness and discrimination against women and foreigners will likely rattle liberals. Nonetheless, thi s provocative book invites attention from Americans attempting to comprehen d the Japanese. ( more information)

THE OUTNATION: A Search for the Soul of Japan
Rauch, Jonathan
Boston, MA, U.S.A.: Harvard Business School Press, 1992. In Japanese the word for 'foreign country' means outnation. But to many Americans and Japanese, it is Japan itself, despite its increasing influence in world affairs, that is the outsider--the outnation: a country, as some have said, 'in the world but not of it.' THE OUTNATION takes the reader through Tokyo's nighttime crowds and into quiet country hamlets, to the office of a high-tech industrialist and to a farmer's dinner table. Rauch distills conversations with dozens of Japanese statesmen and professors as well as sushi chefs and innkeepers. He probes the public values of the Japanese and details the workings of their political, economic, and intellectual systems.THE OUTNATION is a perceptive and honest exploration of Japan and its people. New, unread copy in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.. ISBN: 0875843204. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
