Trying Your Best Will Make You Happy.

This lesson is about learning how to be happy and an important Western philosophy.
This video is a lesson from my new, Wearing Western Glasses, course. The entire course will be online by mid July. WWG has 36 5-minute lessons. Viewers learn Western thinking, what it is and why? They learn the goal of Western culture, then lessons about how that affects Western society. From Western Core Values to skills needed for work in the West to Western face and how Westerners treat mistakes, students will understand how things work in the West.
Focus is on improving communication with lessons about what communication is, how to measure success and Rules of Communication. The latter has nothing to do with grammar or vocabulary, it is a list of who Western and Chinese cultures believe language should and shouldn't be used. Even if you are fluent in spoken English you will have big mistakes with possible huge consequences if you don't follow the Rules.
Viewers then learn to Market, not Sell messages. This skill is useful in all communication, not just cross-culture. The last chapter are detailed looks at 7 key skills Westerners expect, things like how to disagree clearly but politely, speaking to a group, invitations and attending event and Participating in Discussions.
