Summary

Face Saving Methods explores the universal human need to maintain dignity and avoid shame in social interactions, even at personal cost. It delves into the psychological and behavioral strategies cultures worldwide use to manage "face"—the public image we present. Understanding these strategies is vital for effective cross-cultural communication, as misunderstandings can lead to tensions in diplomacy, business failures, and personal conflicts. 

 
For example, the book highlights how indirect communication can be a face-saving tactic in some cultures, while directness is valued in others. The book draws from psychology, sociology, and anthropology to provide a cross-cultural perspective on face management. It examines how concepts of honor and shame have evolved historically while using social psychology to uncover biases that influence perceptions of face threats. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts of face and potential threats, then analyzes diverse face-saving strategies across cultures, illustrated with real-world examples. It offers a framework for understanding the psychological mechanisms driving cultural differences, making it valuable for anyone seeking to navigate cross-cultural interactions with greater confidence.

    My Brother's Keeper tells the behind-the-scenes story of how the American president and the Israeli prime minister clashed about peace, war, and the future of the region. 
 
 
 
Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu viewed the world—and especially the Middle East—differently. The US president wanted to end what he saw as America's perpetual war against the Muslim and Arab worlds, use diplomacy to bring about a Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with Israel, and apply his signature foreign policy vision to reward the Islamic Republic of Iran in exchange for the scaling back of their nuclear pursuits. The Israeli premier wanted his country to thrive without the senseless bloodshed of terror and violence, and he was determined to protect the Jewish state from threats of annihilation by a member of the axis of evil that would one day be armed with nuclear weapons. Netanyahu wanted peace for peace, as well as the acceptance of Israel as a full-fledged part of the Middle East. In 2014, during a pivotal summer of terrorist violence, a war in Gaza, and the advancement of a nuclear deal with Iran, the two men clashed, threatening the US-Israeli strategic alliance and the future of the region. The Middle East would never be the same.

    Vision’s  infinite range of influence knows no boundaries. It flows from the youngest to the oldest, from the novice to the most experienced member of the team. It infiltrates the organization with freshness of purpose and clearness of direction. The leader clothed with the clarity of vision, exposes others to the knowledge, necessity and power of vision. Then becomes an instrument in helping them understand the work of vision. The energy and the ontagiousness of vision develops a persistent personality within the leader and within the organization that recognizes it and seeks after it. Vision helps every person within the organization to see that the role of leader calls their name and refers to them as the leader in their area of influence. This keen awareness awakens dreams that ignite the hearts, inspire the minds and move the people to greatness.
