Lust in Translation: Infidelity from Tokyo to Tennessee by Pamela Druckerman

This is by the same author as Bringing Up Bebe, one of the more interesting books I've read in 2012. I really liked Druckerman's writing, so I checked this one out.

She travels to a bunch of countries - South Africa, Russia, Japan, China, etc. and investigates what the cultural norms and thinking are around infidelity. Basically, she finds out that most other cultures in the world don't think about infidelity the same way that Americans do.


This book was so-so. However, it's good for me to be reminded that people think about things differently, and how big a role culture plays in forming our morals and judgments.
