Lights And Shadows: Discoveries Away From Home : Perspectives On American, German And Chinese Cultures

Living abroad-what does it take and what do you gain? Thought-provoking, sometimes humorous, but always insightful and engaging, the candid observations of nearly one hundred American, German and Chinese expats will boost your cross-cultural intelligence and prepare you to anticipate difficulties and avoid certain pitfalls. They also show you that by experiencing another culture you discover your own (and yourself). Lights & Shadows: Discoveries Away From Home takes you on a journey that informs and also challenges you to reflect on your own beliefs and assumptions which become more readily apparent when you see them through the eyes of others. This kind of cultural self-awareness is indispensable to be effective in international settings, whether at home or abroad. It also offers an opportunity to learn and grow as a person.
