Rai has identified a particular core value for each country she writes about, and in doing so has created an unusual guide that also encourages us to reflect on our own frames of reference. It is an opportunity to look at ourselves through the eyes of the world, to re-evaluate our opportunities and the challenges we face as a global community.

Mandeep Rai studied philosophy, politics and economics. She began her career at JPMorgan, the largest US banking holding company, where she worked with private clients. Later, she worked at the United Nations, and as a reporter for the BBC World Service and Reuters, she travelled to more than 150 countries.

«This book opens up the hearts, minds and traditions of the world's peoples, shows us how closely we are connected and that the differences between us are mainly caused by our own narrow interests and lack of concern for the common welfare of our global family. I hope it will help to make the world a happier place," the Dalai Lama writes about The Compass of Values.
