Iranians are the most surprising people. Where you might expect them to be austere, they
are charming; rather than dour, they are warm; and instead of being hostile to foreigners,
they are welcoming and endlessly curious. To understand what makes Iranian daily life un-
expectedly familiar in some ways yet unrecognisably different in others, it's necessary to
look at a national psyche that has evolved over millennia, influenced by environment and
religion, to create as rich and complex a society as you will find anywhere.
