THE SECRETS OF THE JAPANESE MIND- Demystifying the Japanese psyche towards life, gender, love, sex and more.
https://payhip.com/b/eBk45

Please consider purchasing our book if you wish to both support our channel, and read the most thorough, in-depth book on the Japanese psychology that has ever been published (You are free to show us a book that is more comprehensive and detailed than ours).

Having more than a decade of experience being immersed in the Japanese society, and encountering myriad situations on a daily basis throughout this period where, when you are so sure that any other individual on earth would so obviously choose action A in a given situation, only to see the Japanese individual choose action B (without even the slightest of hesitation, or a shadow of a doubt. Then you progressively get to a point of internal acquiescence on how the people of this island nation could have came up with ideas such as kamikaze pilots, not even a hundred years in the past), and have such events prevail and accumulate over a decade plus basis- I was almost at a point of psychosis.

So as much as this book is for you, this book is, first and foremost, for me and my soul-

in my journey to actually understand the Japanese psychology through countless literature, interviews, and experience-based reflection (rather than follow the path of what the 99.9% of people do, which is to say something as in, "Ah, it's just because they have a different culture", or just provide a paragraph-long, basic answer vaguely dating back to some Edo-time, pre-Meiji period practices),

◆About Us◆

Aaron
I graduated from Waseda University 早稲田大学 (the alma mater of the current Japanese Prime Minister, as well as the one before Shinzo Abe, and business leaders of Asia such as the Chairman of Samsung Group, CEO of Sony, president and CEO of Honda, etc) with a degree in Global Political Economy 国際政治経済学科 at the Department of Political Science and Economics 政治経済学部, and have decade plus years of experience living in Japan.

As horrible as my pronunciation is in the area of speaking, in the realms of writing, I am an official full score recipient in the American SAT I Examination- Essay Writing Section (given a full score by all three independent judges) already more than a decade ago- a feat that is rarely ever accomplished by even the top 1% of the Americana test takers, whom English is their first language. And in all humility, that was only in highschool.

I am in charge with most of the research and presentation on our Youtube Channel.

Helen
My wife Helen majored in Japanese Language for her bachelor's degree, and have broad experiences working in Japan as a Japanese translator.

Helen is in charge of most of the beautiful editing and thumbnail designs that you see on our Youtube Channel.
