Summary

"A bestselling author explores masculine/feminine in East and West and discovers points of convergence that can change our ways of seeing and being in the world." "When Madonna Kolbenschlag went to Japan for a series of lectures, she never dreamed that it would be the beginning of a "journey into difference." She discovered first-hand that, beneath the veneer of Americanization, the soul of the East is far different from the soul of West. It led her to explore the psychic differences that seem to separate us all, individually as well as culturally, and to find the common threads that bind us together. The result of her search for convergence is a fresh way of understanding our own souls."--BOOK JACKET.
