An important message from Dr. Denis Waitley, one of the teachers from the movie The Secret and a best-selling author on human achievement.
If You Think the U.S. Will Always Be The One Great Superpower — Think Again!
"In the foreseeable future the economy of China will be nearly twice as large as that of the U.S. and equal to the combined economies of all North America, Europe and Japan. This is reality, not fantasy."
— Denis Waitley
Culture. Values. Expectations.
These crucial factors can spell the difference between success and failure in business dealings (or any dealings!) between people. When the American Eagle meets the Chinese Dragon, what can they learn from each other? What do they need to know about each other?
What do YOU need to know about these world powers?

In his new book THE DRAGON AND THE EAGLE: China and America: Growing Together, Worlds Apart, Denis Waitley offers a simple, engaging fable, told in vivid dialogue. Two creatures symbolizing their respective cultures — an enormous, ancient Chinese dragon and a young American bald eagle — meet over numberless cups of green tea, exploring with each other the contrasts and similarities of their people's lives.
Through their repeated conversations about philosophy, business, family, culture, education and the future, the bond between the Dragon and Eagle grows. By talking and listening, they learn as much about themselves as they learn about each other. Waitley's light-hearted approach offers a personal and eye-opening look at two world-dominating cultures as they ride the surging tides of globalization.
Whether or not you're going to do business between China and the United States, you'll need the powerful cultural insights Waitley reveals in The Dragon & The Eagle.
No one who hopes to thrive in the challenges and opportunities of the new global marketplace can afford to miss what Waitley reveals.

…Never has, never will. But with the rise of China today — the return of an ancient culture to the height of world power, propelling a population of billions into the 21st century — and the strengthening of the ties between China and the United States, you can't afford to miss out on understanding this ancient culture.
But that's not all!
The whole world is changing around us. At this time of exponential movement in globalization, what are the cultural realities, both Western and Eastern, that YOU need to know about, so you can prepare yourself for the challenges and opportunities of this new world of borderless markets?
Borderless — because, in today's world of instant access to information, there is no concentration of knowledge in any one geographic location or society.
And, as the Eagle says to the Dragon, over a cup of the Dragon's excellent tea, the winners will be those who know how to keep up, because
"Yesterday’s world records are today’s entry level requirements."
This is no time for any American Eagles to be resting on their laurels! As citizens, there are certain urgent issues we must attend to. For example, Waitley writes,
"To remain competitive in this new world and to continue its winning record of achievements, [the U.S.] must motivate its youth to study the sciences that will spearhead future technology, and refocus on the virtues, work ethic, and principles upon which its foundation was built."

Waitley presents his dialogue in a completely innovative way, with icons indicating the speaker — and with text in English on one page, and in Chinese on the facing page. He does this from a clear understanding that what we all need is clear communication — a two-way street.
"The power brokers in the new global arena
will be
the knowledge facilitators."
After all, the Dragon faces plenty of challenges as well. Rapid change, even for the better, brings shocks and dislocations of its own. The Dragon says,
"Have you ever considered the magnitude of what we face in moving close to half a billion farmers into skilled jobs in cities in less than two decades?"
A migration that took hundreds of years in the West, leaving us with only 5% of our population living on farms, is happening virtually overnight in China. And, with the impact of modern media and the blossoming of a consumer society, the Dragon shares many of the Eagle's worries:
"The emotional uncertainties of our youth are being sugar-coated by skin-deep substitutes for authentic self-esteem."
And always, the degradation of the environment that follows warp-speed industrialization…
By the end of their conversation, you will see how the voices of East and West come to recognize the common challenges they face.
"Knowledge and action govern both our futures."
You'll have a sense of what each can learn from the other, ramping up the power of their potential — and how we American Eagles can find the right ways to maximize our opportunities, through cultural understanding, when we deal with the Dragons.
Waitley is also an avid student of Chinese culture and an advocate for youth and entrepreneurial leadership in China who has a first-hand acquaintance with the Dragon. A speaker to Chinese-language audiences over the past few decades with the help and friendship of expert interpreter Paul Yeh, Waitley now serves as Vice President and Director of the Board of the SIAS International University Foundation. Established in 1998 in Xinzheng, near the city of Zhengzhou in Henan Province, the University enrolls 16,000 students. This unique institution is the only American-owned university in China and the first to offer an accredited American degree.
Basing his dialogue on ancient wisdom as well as up-to-date insights from today's Western human potential movement, Waitley provides American readers with a fascinating and engrossing look at where the unfolding East/West relationship can go, a look that goes deep into the particularities of two ways of life. The Dragon and the Eagle, in their conversation, illuminate these deep-rooted life-ways:
Family
Children
Eating and Dining Customs
Character
Marriage and Divorce
Friendship
Loyalty
Traditions and Superstitions
Transition from Rural to Industrial economy
In the end, the Dragon and the Eagle resolve to continue their conversations. Both see the wisdom of communication and learning:
"Unless we learn from each other, and understand the merits of our differences, while nurturing the values we have in common, neither East or West will dominate the world stage for long."
"So both West and East must get a wake-up call now before we keep repeating the rise and fall of all empires and dynasties past."
You won't want to miss out on this groundbreaking presentation of how two powerful world-leading cultures can most effectively communicate, to the mutual benefit of each.
