    S1E21 - How do you ZhongYong Part 1

    If YingYang is the Operating System of the Chinese mind, today we look at another of the 5 Software Programs that run on that Operating System - ZhongYong.

    The Chinese mind is taught during its formative years that to serve society the best, one must live life in the middle, sitting properly in the position that you hold in life at the time.  No individualism here.  Whereas Westerners are taught to always strive to be number 1.  

    Listen to some practical examples of the application of ZhongYong and what it means for working with the Chinese Mind.

    Brought to you by Dr Helen Zhang from www.chinadvisors.com of Cambridge UK and Darren Fooks from Thomson Geer Lawyers of Australia. See our Podcast Flowsheets at www.chinadvisors.com.

    This week we wrap up on the Haier Journey up to 2019 and beyond (well, we get a bit lost at the beginning, but we get there). And we discuss how Yin Yang epistemology makes even just setting a meeting time into a totally different process.

    Listen to some practical examples of the application of Yin Yang thinking by the Chinese Mind, and how to cope under a Socratic Epistemology. Wicked stuff.
