The Art of Crossing Cultures

I recommend this book to anyone who lives in a foreign culture or plans on doing so. It is very insightful and we can learn a lot from the author.

I found Storti's approach extremely useful. I'm a clinical psychologist (and a ATCK) and I found interesting how he used psychological tips without falling into psych terms. Storti's approach is clear and interesting in the sense that you can build other perspectives into what he says. I definitely recommend reading the book to anyone who is exposed to a cross-cultural situation.What did I not like? Book citations... as with many other intercultural sources the authors go back to years people from my age (37) find not that easy to relate to.

This book has some great content for those who are living in a foreign and unfamiliar culture.

This book is very useful for the working ESL teacher. We have about 50% Chinese students in our classrooms at the university of Kansas. The anecdotes and examples in the book enlighten us about the more subtle behaviors of the Chinese culture in terms of learning style. The educational programs in China are very much "writing" based. The students also "memorize" as a learning tool. Therefore, getting them to speak out in class, converse in small groups is often quite difficult. Craig Storti has "Been there done that", so I appreciated his sharing with me.

Very insightful and eye-opening look at how to be an ex-patriot or just how to not make a fool of yourself and offend others when visiting their country or participating in different cultural experiences within your own country.

This book is useful, but seems to be at least half filled with travel quotes instead of substance.

Bought used. This book had a terrible smell when it arrived. Also had sticky adhesive residue on cover.

I wish I had read this before dealing with off shore teams. Even though we each continued to live in our own cultures it would have been helpful .
