Drawing on the latest findings in anthropology, neuroscience, and mindfulness studies, Ethnowise helps readers learn to disrupt habitual reactions to the unfamiliar, grow resilience to cultural discomfort, and transform culture shock into connection.
“At a moment when the global tide of fear of the unknown is on a steep rise and social cohesion eroding, Michael Kimball’s book Ethnowise is a timely and thoughtful contribution,” said Waidehi Gokhale, CEO of Soliya, an international nonprofit that focuses on empowering young adults to engage with difference constructively.
To effectively reach across social and cultural boundaries, Kimball states individuals need to do three things: discover what culture shock really is, how it affects your mind and body (even when you don’t know it), and which tools can help you turn it to your advantage. By presenting some core principles and a set of powerful techniques, Kimball, associate professor of Anthropology at 鶹ý, offers an entertaining, informative, and practical guide to achieving these goals.
