Drawing on a trove of personal accounts and cuttingedge research, a timely and extremely important book (The Washington Post) from the acclaimed, awardwinning author of Thank You, Mr. Nixon that shows how our worldviews are shapedand what that might mean for the shared future of the United States and China.As East and West become more and more entwined, we also continue to baffle one another. Whats more importantselfsacrifice or selfdefinition? Do we ultimately answer to something larger than ourselvesa family, a religion, a troop? Or is our mantra To thine own self be true?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 Alibabaand what that might mean for our future. As engaging as it is fascinating, The Girl at the Baggage Claim is a book that profoundly transforms our understanding of ourselves and our time.
