The best part about this book is how it doesn't require you to be asian! As a part Canadian part Nigerian, I found this book most helpful in overcoming my shyness and tendency to tell women that I am a prince who just needs a small sum of money to get millions in unclaimed riches out of my country. I especially enjoyed chapter 7: "dealing with your inadequate manhood" because, as mom and Steve never miss the opportunity to point out, "I am 100% Canuck below the belt." Chapter 9: "The difference between L and R" was also very useful. Great read.
