This book is a compilation of interviews I conducted while doing a series for NikkeiBP’s ASSOCIE magazine in 2004.

This book explores my three year odyssey working in Tokyo for a Japanese company in the 1980's. All names have been changed, but the story is 100% true.

Thirty years later, much has changed...but much remains the same as Japan's future remains unclear.

This book is the first I have written that focuses on the issue of being direct but sensitive. The book is divided into four sections: Impolite Example, What Went Wrong?, Key Words, and Polite Example.
