A lot of common sense
This book is ok, but a lot of the points made are obvious to anyone who has given serious thought to moving, working, and living overseas in today's world. The more critical issues that one faces are given only superficial attention, and a constant pitch for the "companion book" (not included) for elaboration. Why not include it all in one book?
On the plus side, chapter 7 gives some decent detail into the mechanisms behind culture shock that may keep you sane if you are having a tough time overseas. But 30 good pages out of 200 probably make this book one to pass on.

Not one family should move overseas without this book.
Living and working overseas is a life-altering event-- this book takes you step-by-step through the process of preparing for the move and the adjustments to come. The chapters are well laid out so that it can be easily used as a reference guide. It's a must have when taking an international assignment!
