Description

Adjusting to a new culture and getting along side the area people challenge everyone who lives and works in another country. Whether in business, diplomacy, education, or as a long-term visitor in another country, somebody can also be blind-sided by a lack of international knowledge and experience and be caught at a disadvantage.

In this completely revised and expanded edition of the classic The Art of Crossing Cultures, Craig Storti shows what it takes to encounter a new culture head-on and succeed. This one-of-a-kind guidebook to bridging the cultural divide – with more than 50,000 copies sold around the globe – incorporates a stellar sampling of the writings of one of the crucial world’s greatest writers, poets and observers of the human condition.

Through the vivid perceptions and words of such literary legends as Noel Coward, Graham Greene, Rudyard Kipling, E. M. Forster, Mark Twain, Evelyn Waugh, and others, Storti paints an intimate portrait of the personal challenges of adjusting to another culture: anticipating differences, managing the temptation to withdraw, and progressively adjusting expectations of behaviour to fit reality.

This timely new edition focuses special attention on how to maintain country and culture shock and includes many new examples of cross-cultural misunderstandings – particularly in business. Storti breaks new ground with his easy-to-consider model of cultural adjustment and tips on how to master the process and develop adaptive strategies – the heart of the cross-cultural experience.
