How do you embrace another way of thinking when it is vastly different from your own?

ANSWER = Decode their 心态 (xīntài) and reprogram your attitude

In Chinese culture, 心态 (xīntài) goes beyond how someone thinks. It includes the state of their psyche and attitude toward how certain things make them feel based on the associated Face or Mianzi.

A person's 心态 (xīntài) is an integral aspect of their mentality, but the tipping points that trigger an adverse reaction are largely unknown to most Westerners.
