{"product_id":"9781467085045","title":"Jai Yen Means Keep A Cool Heart: Life Among The Mountain Tribes Of Thailand","description":"When I moved from that blank space on the map known as Northeast Montana to Thailand in 1963 with a pregnant wife and a three year old daughter, I knew there would be some changes in my life, but I had no idea how great those changes would be and how much the people of Thailand would change my own world view.  I learned to be \u003ci\u003ejai yen\u003c\/i\u003e (cool hearted), instead of angry or frustrated.  That is the Thai way.  I went as an agricultural advisor to work among theMountain Tribes. This book is about the 33 years I spent roaming the hill country trekking from village to village over the foot trails.  The people I came to teach taught me many things.  I learned about hospitality, descision making by consensus, and how to live with one another.  I shared their shelter, their food, their joys, and their sorrows. ","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130034503920,"sku":"9781467085045","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781467085045_p0.jpg?v=1763690407","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781467085045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
