Globalization of the Psyche

There has been quite a bit of research into the homogenization of the world through globalization, often in a tangible sense but I'm intrigued by a relatively new strand of research into the convergence of intangible patterns of thought and expectation.

An interesting case in point was mentioned in the New York Times Magazine  last Sunday:

What Does it Mean to Be Comfortable? The New York Times Magazine (January 27, 2013).

I've also been intrigued by reviews of Ethan Watters' Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche.  Has anyone read it?
