Survival Kit for Overseas Living
By L. Robert Kohls.
We use this little book as a kind of textbook for our
new cross-cultural workers. Fast-paced, practical,
offering straightforward information and penetrating
insights into the process of cross-cultural adaptation
combine with hands-on suggestions for coping with the
overseas experience. Readers learn how to avoid
stereotypes, how to explore the mysteries of culture,
and how values and different ways of thinking influence
behavior. Readers are provided with basic strategies for
getting to know their hosts, managing culture shock, and
developing intercultural communication skills. Readers
will find guidelines on how to deal with reverse culture
shock when returning home! Survival Kit For Overseas
Living provides the tools needed to overcome cultural
obstacles and prepare the way for a rewarding and
successful experience whether traveling as an individual
or a family. Every cross-cultural traveler needs a copy!
