What's more important--self-sacrifice or self-definition? Do we ultimately answer to something larger than ourselves--a family, a religion, a troop? Or is our mantra \"To thine own self be true\"? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gish Jen shows how our worldviews are shaped by what cultural psychologists call \"independent\" and \"interdependent\" models of selfhood. Coloring what we perceive, remember, do, make, and tell, imbuing everything from our ideas about copying to our conceptions of human rights, these models help explain why the United States produced Apple while China created Alibaba--and what that might mean for our future. As engaging as it is fascinating, \u003ci\u003eThe Girl at the Baggage Claim\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that profoundly transforms our understanding of ourselves and our time.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"The Girl at the Baggage Claim: Explaining the East-West Culture Gap (Vintage Contemporaries) | Gish Jen | Paperback | 9781101972069 | Used: Like New | Anthropology 1603919","offer_id":48750772060312,"sku":"1603919","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/817Y0b7wKgL.jpg?v=1773947334","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-girl-at-the-baggage-claim-explaining-the-east-west-culture-gap-vintage-contemporaries","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
