Ever wondered how culture shapes our perceptions and behaviours? In 'Cultural Constellations', Michael Todd Fink dives into the fascinating world of cultural dynamics, using metaphors like the iceberg theory and constellations to explain the visible and hidden aspects of culture. He argues that true cultural understanding goes beyond surface-level observations and requires a deeper look into the underlying values and beliefs that drive people's actions.
