Summary: We Use This as a Tool with Our Global Repatriation Program
Review: As part of our year-long repatriation process, we (a global consulting firm) provide a copy of this book to all of our associates on cross-border assignments. Assignees often don't realize the "culture shock" and problems they and their families will face when returning to their home country. The book is written in a "reader-friendly" format and the feedback we've received from our "expats" has been very positive.

Summary: A Helpful Resource
Review: I believe that this book contains very helpful insights and advice on coming home. Several years ago I came home from an overseas assignment with little or no help--it was a nightmare. I wish I'd known then what I know now. This time, I'm planning my overseas return in a few months. Using suggestions in the book along with my own personal experience I expect a much better transition. P.S. I've given a copy to my Human Resources VP in the home office to help her have some insights regarding employees who make this transition.

Summary: Not much value add here
Review: I found this book to be of little use or value. OK, so there'll be some strong emotions about returning home, it'll be harder than you think (honeymoon - disillusionment - acceptance), most family & friends won't care about what you've experienced, you've changed more than you think), etc.. The authors have simply labeled the process and have given little, if any, insight on the process or how one might manage it better. You can pay a lot less money for a moving checklist elsewhere...
