5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST TO READ, April 8 2012
This review is from: Foreign to Familiar: A Guide to Understanding Hot- And Cold-Climate Cultures (Paperback)
This is a book that everyone should read before they travel outside of their own country. It would help them to understand the culture of the country and not be taken wrong or come across as rude.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and helpful, May 27 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Foreign to Familiar: A Guide to Understanding Hot- And Cold-Climate Cultures (Paperback)
"Foreign to Familiar" is a short very easy to read book that really is far more helpful than I could have ever imagined. As an anglo who has had relationships with hispanics my entire life I thought I understood hispanic people pretty well. After reading the book I now understand why some of the most important people in my life have made such stinging criticisms of me. They believe I am selfish and egotistical, I believed that they couldn't make decisions, were foolish with thier money, and let their family take advantage of them. I now understand why my friends act the way they do and can begin to see myself through their eyes. I wish someone could have taught me this stuff 20 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn how to communicate cross-culturally, Jun 6 2002
By 
Louise Leopold (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foreign to Familiar: A Guide to Understanding Hot- And Cold-Climate Cultures (Paperback)
As a college Professor, I have been using this book as a textbook to help my students learn how to communicate cross-culturally for almost 2 years now. It is a real eye openner both for students from Mid-America and for students from Latin America and Asia. It is so easy to be mis-understood. This study can heal the wounds and rejection that many people feel when they try to relate at work and in the community. Better yet, it can help us to prevent the hurts in the first place. I give it an A+.
