Close Encounters Of A Cultural Kind

Richard Lewis - world famous lecturer on intercultural issues and best-selling author of WHEN CULTURES COLLIDE - has collected 50 unique, critical cross-cultural incidents during his encounters in 135 countries around the globe.
Some of these anecdotes are humorous, some are poignant, some are mysterious - all are insightful snapshots of the complex tapestry of cross-cultural business. If you're dining with a Finn, negotiating with the Japanese or attempting to climb a mountain with a team of diffident Italians, you need this book.

'Historically, 'cultural encounters' have often created wars and split people. In this precious little gem of a book, Richard shows how beautifully cultural barriers can be overcome when people meet face-to-face. How we, despite different outlooks, can build bridges across cultural gaps with mindful, respectful and humorous approaches. The stories, told in a vibrant and captivating voice, ranging from thought provoking and insightful to adventurous and hilarious, are a delightful read. The charming characters of broad cultural variety bring the whole world into your hands, making hearts bond over a jolly good laugh.
And frankly, - what can be better?'
Marit Imeland Gjesme, Founder of CultureCatch (R), intercultural training consultancy.

Unreliable product be careful
Size: King (Pack of 1), Size: King (Pack of 1)
I bought this pillow and loved it. King size and firm. I bought another one and it is less firm and smaller in length (as seen here) and not at all to the quality onto first one. I’d be careful and check these if buying. Very disappointing experience

A little misleading
Size: King (Pack of 1)
Overall, it is comfortable. However, I ordered a king sized which is 36" long, but this pillow is only 33". That's somewhere between a queen and kind size. Second, it is not a medium firm. It is more toward soft and lets the head drift down close to the mattress level Over time, you may have neck problems. Time will tell. Update: It is great! My neck feels better and I sleep better. There is still a little odor, but it's not a problem. I recommend this pillow.

Solid and Firm, but not too Firm
Size: Standard (Pack of 1)
Great pillow, best I ever put my head against! Not too high, not too firm, do not recommend for stomach sleepers, but I am mostly a back sleeper. It is also heavy enough to support your head.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adjustable and Better Than Most I’ve Tried
Size: Standard (Pack of 1)
I’m a really tough pillow critic and have a hard time finding one I actually like. With that said, this pillow was better than a lot of others I’ve tried—mainly because you can remove some of the latex shavings to adjust the firmness. I ended up taking out about 20% (do it over a big trash can because the shavings can get messy!). When it arrived it was too firm for me, which is why I had to take some filling out. Even after adjusting it, it’s still not my absolute favorite pillow, but I do use it every night as a “hug” pillow and it works great for that. I think people who aren’t as picky as I am will probably really enjoy it, especially since you can customize the amount of latex to get it just right. I’d give it 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4.

Good Value Latex Pillow
Size: Standard (Pack of 1)
Most latex are horribly expensive and smell strongly. This pillow good for a side sleeper, little odor, med firm.
