Hello everyone. This is my first comment on this site. I am brazilian-japanese living in Brazil but have studied in Japan. I think that the problem that you guys see in this book is it´s title. I think this title was chosen for market purpose and to make people discuss that topic just like we´re doing right now. I think the title is racist because no race is better than any other. But the key thing in the book is it´s subtitle "The Advantage of using both sides of your brain". If it´s true that japanese people uses both sides of their brain, it would give them some advantages on some skills. But this is something that anyone can train to do. There are many books that teach people to develop the right side of the brain.

I think it´s foolish to judge any country by their crime or crime rates, wether they get your order right at McDonald´s or their suicide rates. Norway, Sweden and Denmark are great countries to live in but they also have a high suicide rate. The problem is that no one wants to hear or read that their country is worse than any other.

By the way, does everyone who wrote here live in Japan? If you do, there must be something about Japan you think it´s good. I think Japan is a tough place to live for western people. It´s just a cultural problem. But any country is tough to live for the foreigner point of view. Just ask any immigrant in any part of the World. The answer is to try to adapt and understand the other culture.
