Excellent light reading
I mean the following remark in a very positive sense: German Way is one of the best bathroom readers I have ever bought. While some of it is common sense or common knowledge to anyone who knows anything about German Europe, some was not, and all of it was presented in a lively way. Most important, because it is broken into short segments, it was easily digested over...

Shallow and brief, but better than nothing
I suppose that someone who knew absolutely NOTHING about German culture would find this book interesting and useful. But, if you already know a little bit and want to learn more (like me) you will likely be disappointed.

Shallow and brief, but better than nothing, 9. März 2000
Von Ein Kunde
I suppose that someone who knew absolutely NOTHING about German culture would find this book interesting and useful. But, if you already know a little bit and want to learn more (like me) you will likely be disappointed. Others have pointed out that each topic is covered briefly, and in my opinion, that's usually EXTREMELY briefly. I find the alphabetical organization of topics unhelpful, and would prefer to have similar subjects located together. I often had to guess several times to see which word the author would use to alphabetize a given topic. If you're looking for more than a quick-and-dirty introduction to German culture, skip this book and read "Culture Shock! Germany" instead.

While some of it is common sense or common knowledge to anyone who knows anything about German Europe, some was not, and all of it was presented in a lively way. Most important, because it is broken into short segments, it was easily digested over "spare moments". Sometimes I started somewhere and read straight through, sometimes I jumped around using the table of contents. My wife and teen-age son read it and enjoyed it the same way. I look forward to reading other books in this series as the occasion arises.

Good starter, 27. Oktober 2002
Being a German, I had great fun in reading the opinion and the external view of a well educated person on the Germans. Albeit many aspects outlined are a bit outdated (some examples are valid for the time between 50th to the mid 70th), it is still a good starting point for geeting into the mindset of another culture.
Since it some things are quiete funny to read I even gave it as a present to many of my Japanesee, English colleagues.
If the history part is not exactly precise in its explanation, it is at least better than knowing nothing.
In total its a very nice book, which made me think about certain habits and its reasons.

A must-have for travelers and business people, 3. März 2000
I lived in Germany for over three years. My German acquaintances in general liked Americans; but they greatly disliked our cultural ignorance. I also did part-time work as a tour guide and a portion of "tour guiding" is to educate people on the culture, and saw the extent of this ignorance first-hand. While German/Austrian/Swiss society is in a "big picture" sense similar to American, (guilt vs shame-based culture, individuality vs collectivism) there are major differences in personal and business relationships. Anyone who really wants to know Germany or succeed in business dealings with Germans ignores these differences at their peril. This book does an outstanding job of clearly explaining all aspects of German society from Government through economy, consumerism, to social relationships. It also spells out the contrasts between German and American ways of thinking, and between German and Austrian/Swiss world-views. Bottom line is if you want a better vacation experience in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, a better business trip, or are just interested in other cultures, get this book.

Highly Recommended!, 22. Januar 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Highly Recommended! This is an excellent book. We plan to recommend it to our international employees in Germany, and those considering a move to Germany.The optimum, however, especially if you are interested in brand-new, current information, is to use the outstanding companion Website (sorry, URL not allowed here, but simple to guess) in parallel with the book. I think the right combination of printed and electronic media is the future, and that has already become a reality here.

This book is a good travel companion., 26. Oktober 1998
Von Ein Kunde
I found this book to be a concise and up-to-date discussion of German culture. This book travels well because it is organized by topic, or point, and each point is only one to three pages. This makes it easy to read for people who do not have large blocks of free time. The table of contents and index provides quick identification of points that readers may find of greatest interest. It also travels well because it would easily fit into any carry-on luggage or portfolio.
