    Really neat insights about our culture. It's as much about learning about marketing as learning about America. I suppose this book could be controversial as the insights are bold. But, I'm thoroughly enjoying the book!

    The core idea of this pleasant, accessible book is easy to grasp: Culturally specific codes shape people’s understandings, behaviors and emotional responses. French-born psychoanalyst and marketing maven Clotaire Rapaille brings a useful perspective shaped by his experiences as a U.S. immigrant to his discussion of what he calls “Culture Codes.” His methods for tapping into these codes are straightforward. However, some of his conclusions lead to fairly sweeping, general claims about overall national cultures. His explanations of coded cultural instincts and actions are still interesting, particularly when he delves specifically into American, French, English, German, Japanese and other societies. getAbstract suggests his book to those interested in cultural differences and those responsible for tailoring marketing concepts to reach specific national audiences around the world.

    started off well enough, kind of fizzled near the middle and towards the end though. Good subject, just seemed to give example after example, not really what I expected.

    This is an awesome book, although things are seen in a marketing perspective it amazes when we learn how the people in different cultures see the same thing in a different way.
