Those Punctual Germans

Professor Gundula Gwen Hiller, a specialist in intercultural communication, invites you to embark on an exciting audio journey to learn about the cultural values of other peoples!

Other cultures can offer many ideas and wise solutions for our everyday tasks. Their unique social concepts and philosophies help you look at problems differently and inspire improvements in quality of life and the search for new paths. As a recognized expert in intercultural communication, Professor Hiller invites you on this journey to explore what lessons can be learned from other cultures and what is special about our own.

With impressive intercultural experience—more than 20 years of research and living in five countries—the author shares accumulated knowledge about the worldview of different peoples. You will be able to see representatives of other cultures through German eyes: you’ll be charmed by Scandinavian concepts of hygge and lagom, find your own ikigai, appreciate the philosophy of wabi-sabi, understand zen, and be surprised at how close the seemingly distant Germans really are.

This book will significantly affect all aspects of your life: from communication and relationships to health, career, and personal well-being.
