Asia Specific
Malcolm Teasdale
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
One Continent. Countless Lessons. No Filter.
In Asia Specific, Malcolm Teasdale dives headfirst into the rich complexities, contradictions, and cultural wonders of the world’s most diverse continent. With the same unfiltered voice and adventurous spirit that fueled his earlier works, Teasdale chronicles his immersive travels through Southeast Asia, India, China, and beyond—not as a tourist, but as a business-minded wanderer on a mission to understand life far from the Western world.
What he finds is a vibrant mosaic of humanity: chaotic cities and tranquil temples, boardroom meetings and back-alley meals, ancient traditions colliding with modern ambition. He navigates language barriers, social etiquette, and the subtle art of doing business in cultures that play by very different rules—while also getting candid about the inner journey that unfolds when you leave behind the familiar.
With sharp insight, dry humor, and a deep respect for the people he meets along the way, Asia Specific is part cultural observation, part personal evolution—and entirely readable.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to do business—or simply exist—across Asia’s many borders, this book gives it to you straight.
