This was a very thorough, interesting, and research-based book! (And that's a hard combo to pull off.) I learned a lot + I'm glad I read it.

3.0
This was a required text for my Intercultural Communications class. It goes through the components of Cultural Intelligence and gives practical ideas for increasing one's cultural intelligence. The tone is warm, and Livermore is full of anecdotes. It reiterates advice I have read in several places, and it perhaps perfect for business travelers and corporate managers who are expected to travel and interact in other countries.
I found the advice to be really general, and its main value is in being able to go over the sections of the book pertaining to strong and weak areas with the Cultural Intelligence Center tests. Still, it's a good introduction to the topic, and perhaps will show the reader some areas where they need more targeted work in their communication strategies.
