Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Have you ever felt completely lost in a culture that wasn't your own?You arrive in a new country full of excitement and optimism. Then, slowly - or sometimes all at once - the differences begin to pile up. People seem cold when you expect warmth. Conversations go wrong for reasons you can't identify. Customs that seemed quirky at first now feel alienating. Simple tasks become unexpectedly complicated. You begin to wonder: is it them, or is it me?It is neither. It is culture. And this book will help you understand it.Culture Shock Survival Guide: Understanding Cultural Differences Between East and West is an authoritative, compassionate, and deeply practical guide for anyone navigating the complex terrain of cross-cultural life. Written by Dr. Yavar Dehghani - a linguist, migrant, and intercultural educator who has lived and worked across Eastern and Western cultures - this book draws on both personal experience and decades of professional expertise to give readers the tools they need to not just survive cultural difference, but to understand, respect, and ultimately embrace it.What makes this book different: Unlike generic travel guides or superficial cultural tips, this book goes deep. It explains not just what the differences are, but why they exist - what values, histories, and worldviews give rise to the cultural behaviours that so often cause confusion, frustration, or unintended offence. Every topic is explored through the lens of both Eastern and Western perspectives, supported by real-life scenarios drawn from countries across the globe, making the insights vivid, recognisable, and immediately useful.What you will find inside: A clear explanation of the four stages of cultural adaptation - from the Honeymoon Phase to full Integration - so you know exactly where you are in the journey and what to expect nextAn A to Z glossary of cultural topics covering the differences that matter most in everyday cross-cultural life, including: Addressing people and forms of respectApologising and saving faceAttitudes to time, punctuality, and deadlinesFriendship, trust, and social distanceFamily roles, parenting, and gender expectationsFood, hospitality, and gift givingMental health, ageing, and care of the elderlyReligion, privacy, and personal boundariesWork ethics, hierarchy, and professional communicationAnd much moreWho is this book for?This book is written for: Migrants and new arrivals trying to make sense of their new cultural environmentExpats and international professionals working across cultural boundariesTravellers who want to engage respectfully and meaningfully with the cultures they visitTeachers, counsellors, and social workers supporting people through cultural transitionAnyone in a cross-cultural relationship - romantic, professional, or personalCurious readers who want to understand why people from different backgrounds see the world so differentlyWritten from the inside out.What sets this book apart is its author's perspective. Dr. Dehghani does not write about culture shock as an outside observer. He has lived it - arriving in a Western country for the first time and experiencing firsthand the profound disorientation that comes with stepping into a world built on entirely different assumptions. That experience, combined with his expertise as a linguist and intercultural educator, gives this book a rare quality: it is both academically grounded and deeply human.This book will show you how.
