Horrible, horrible and even more horrible. Takes a dig at why Dale Carnegie's book just doesn't cut it in almost every chapter.

The book is full of insincere recommendations which will backfire on you (unless, perhaps you are a alpha male or a blonde white female)

The author seems to not understand anything about other cultures and keep referring Japan to “Asia” while exemplifies English speaking world as vast with lots of cultural differences. Differences so vast that somebody she met couldn't understand that she wanted a sofa (should have been called a pop)

She also claims that Japanese people take their lives to save faces. I think she is referring to seppuku, which was a tradition in 12th - 16th century
