The Geography of Time

Author: Robert Levine

Really enjoyed this exploration of cultural time differences. It's something that I've always suspected but never had a way of expressing or understanding. Takeaway thoughts include cultures that value people more than time, the subtleties of saying yes hesitantly in Japanese to say no, navigating time and social expectations and event time versus clock time.

Reminded me of Flow, so I'll have to pull that out for a reread soon.
