Hi everyone, I am looking for book recommendations that talk about the world and its different cultures in a broad and engaging way. I want to get a sense of how people live in different regions, what they care about, and how their mindset is shaped by where they are from. I am especially curious about how ways of thinking can be very different from one region to another.
I do not have a strong history background, so I am hoping for something modern, recent, and easy to follow rather than very academic or technical. Summary style or illustrative books are totally fine as long as they are interesting to read.
I also like to travel and meet people from different countries, so I am interested in books that help explain what people in different places enjoy doing, what they value socially, and how culture shows up in everyday life. The goal is to better understand people and connect with them more naturally.
I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
