Abstract [from the back cover]: What are the "Ten Commandments of American Culture"? Why do Americans always seem to be doing three things at once? What really is the single, most important priority in American life? American Cultural Baggage helps non-Americans better understand how Americans "tick" while showing Americans how the actions and attitudes they take for granted can be taken very differently in the rest of the world.

Keywords: American culture, proverbs, priorities
