Why you should read The Expert Expatriate

Melissa Brayer Hess and Patricia Linderman’s indispensable book covers all the practical aspects of adjusting to life in a foreign country. They pay particular attention to factors that can help or hinder an expatriot’s adjustment. Every chapter includes short, personal sidebars recounting the experiences of those who’ve lived and worked abroad, an addition which brings the book to life with insightful, useful and often hilarious detail. getAbstract.com recommends this book to anyone who is considering relocation to another country. To be at home anywhere on the globe, supplement it with a couple of books about the specific country where you are going. Pay attention to the advice about planning ahead, then get your shots, tuck your passport in your pocket and head for the airport. (Don’t forget to pack this book; you may need it for re-entry.)
