This book, by East-West marketing consultant Chin-ning Chu, is must reading for any Westerner in business, government, or academia who negotiates in the Orient or wants to.
It is the first to reveal to Westerners the deep secrets of the Asian psyche that influence Asian behavior in business, politics, lifestyle, and battle.
Ms. Chu points out that Asian mind games have become so finely tuned over the centuries that Americans seldom realize that Asians view the marketplace (and by extension, the world) as a battlefield, and act accordingly.
She has extracted the principles of successful negotiations from centuries-old Chinese texts that have influenced all of Asia, and provides her readers with examples of their application in the modern world.
In the Western world, the ability to formulate cunning and subtle strategies for getting your own way in business, politics, and everyday life is regarded as a matter of intuition. In Asia, however, strategic thinking is a formal discipline studied by people from all walks of life. Amazing as it may seem, contemporary Asians base their outlook and behavior on the teachings of the ancients. In China, even children are familiar with the "36 Strategies," formulated by Sun Tzu, a famous military strategist, in the fourth century B.C.
Throughout Asia today, business people as well as political figures study Sun Tzu's Art of War and apply its strategies to all their activities, while Americans read The One-Minute Manager and All I Really Need to Know I Learned In Kindergarten. No wonder, Ms. Chu comments, that when it comes to business and political negotiations, the Chinese refer to Americans with a word that means "innocent children."
Ms. Chu brilliantly analyses how Chinese thought and culture have affected Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and how Japanese conquest and culture have had their effect on the rest of Asia.
With United States trade and political alliances shifting increasingly to the Pacific rim, it becomes ever more urgent to understand the Asian mind. Ms. Chu, born in China and educated in Taiwan, spells out the makeup of the Asian psyche as no Westerner could.

语言的运用达到了出神入化的地步,这简直是一场文字的盛宴。作者的词汇量丰富得惊人,但他绝不是为了炫技而堆砌辞藻,而是精准地为每一个情绪、每一个画面找到了最恰当的“衣装”。他擅长使用那些带有强烈暗示性的意象,比如在关键时刻引入一阵突如其来的风,或者描写一件不合时宜的器物,这些细节都不是赘述,而是推动情节发展或揭示人物内心世界的关键线索。阅读时,我常常会惊叹于他如何能用如此简洁的句子构建出如此宏大或深刻的意境。特别是那些内心独白的部分,读起来简直像是直接听到了角色灵魂深处的低语,那种穿透力,是很多华丽辞藻堆砌起来的文字所无法比拟的。这不仅是一部小说,更是一本关于如何运用语言进行艺术表达的教科书。
评分如果要用一个词来概括我的感受,那便是“精妙的结构设计”。这本书的章节安排极其巧妙,似乎每一个章节末尾都设置了一个微小的“钩子”,让你不得不翻到下一页去寻找答案。但这种设置并非是廉价的悬念制造,而是源于故事内在逻辑的必然。更令人称奇的是,那些看似分散的支线情节,在故事的后半段,都会以一种令人拍案叫绝的方式汇集到主线上来,形成一个完整、严丝合缝的整体。这种“收网”的过程,展现了作者极强的掌控力,让人不得不佩服其布局之深远。它不像某些小说那样虎头蛇尾,而是从开篇的细微铺垫,到高潮处的爆发,再到最后的平静收束,都保持着高度的统一性和完成度,读起来让人感到无比的满足和畅快。
评分这本书的叙事节奏把握得犹如一位技艺高超的棋手,每一步都看似不经意,实则暗藏杀机。故事的展开不是那种直来直去的线性叙事,而是充满了迂回和反转,仿佛在迷宫中穿行,你以为已经接近真相,结果却发现自己只是进入了另一个更复杂的循环。作者对于人物心理的刻画更是入木三分,那些角色的动机、挣扎和最终的选择,都展现出极其复杂的人性维度。你很难用简单的“好人”或“坏人”来定义他们,每个人都行走在道德的灰色地带,他们的每一次权衡和妥协,都让人感同身受,甚至会引发读者对自身价值观的深刻反思。阅读过程中,我经常需要停下来,回味刚才读到的那段对话或者那个场景,试图去解构其中隐藏的深意。这种需要动脑筋去跟上作者思路的阅读体验,着实过瘾,让人欲罢不能。
评分这本书的封面设计简直是视觉上的盛宴,那种深邃的、带有某种神秘感的东方元素,一下子就把你拉进了一个充满未知的世界。我拿到手的时候,光是摩挲着封面的纹理,就感觉自己像是触摸到了某种古老的智慧结晶。内页的排版也极其考究,字体选择既有古典的韵味又不失现代的易读性,行距和页边距的把握,都透露出一种对阅读体验的极致尊重。我尤其欣赏作者在描述场景时那种细腻的笔触,即便是最简单的环境描写,也能通过对光影、气味甚至微小动态的捕捉,营造出一种身临其境的氛围。它不仅仅是一本书,更像是一件精心打磨的艺术品,让人在阅读之前就已经充满了期待和敬畏。这种对物理呈现的重视,在当今这个快速消费的时代显得尤为珍贵,让人忍不住想把它放在书架上最显眼的位置,时常拿出来把玩一番。
评分这本书最吸引我的地方在于它所营造的那种独特的“氛围感”。它不是那种靠强烈的外部冲突来驱动的故事,而是由一种持续的、内在的张力所支撑。整个故事弥漫着一种挥之不去的宿命感和疏离感,即使在最热闹的场景中,你似乎也能嗅到一丝寒意。作者对背景环境的描绘,无论是繁华都市的霓虹灯下,还是偏远古寺的寂静之中,都有一种魔力,让你感觉自己真的被卷入了那个特定的时空结构里。这种沉浸式的体验,使得阅读过程变成了一种近乎冥想的状态,外界的一切仿佛都褪去了颜色,只剩下书中构建的世界清晰可见。这种对氛围的精妙拿捏,让这本书拥有了一种超越普通故事的质感,读完后,那种感觉并不会立刻消散,而是会像淡淡的香气一样,萦绕在心头很久。
