This book is the "bible" for anyone who wants to understand the blessings and the curses of growing up multiculturally."― Wm. Paul Young, author of the #1 New York Times Best Seller The Shack PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION: "Growing up as a TCK has been a gift and has significantly shaped my life and work. As I interact with world leaders one day and with those living in refugee camps the next, I continually draw upon my experience of living among different cultures. I am delighted to see the lessons learned from the traditional TCK experience live on in this new edition of Third Culture Kids."― Scott Gration, Maj Gen, USAF (Ret), President Obama?s Special Envoy to Sudan "Because Third Culture Kids have been exposed to other cultures in significant ways and have experienced multiple transitions while growing up, it's in their DNA to thrive within the pace and nature of globalization. This book is a must to understand the challenges TCKs face and the unique skills they can leverage as global leaders."― Katrina Burrus, Ph.D., CEO of MKB Conseil & Coaching and author of Global Nomadic Leaders: How to Identify, Attract, and Retain Them "Visionary, bold, and embracing. This may be the first book ever that hasn't left a single person out." ― Dr. Douglas W. Ota, author of Safe Passage: How Mobility "In today's globalized and highly mobile world, the lessons to be learned from this new edition of Third Culture Kids transcend mere cultural enlightenment about a unique group of individuals growing up between worlds. This book is timelier than ever, and should be essential reading for parents anywhere in the world raising cross-cultural children."― Robin Pascoe, author of Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World "This revised edition of Third Culture Kids opens up the topic of cultural hybridization in new and exciting ways. By recognizing similarities between TCKs, children from bi/multicultural parentage, children of immigrants, those who live on or near borderlands,international adoptees and those forced into geographic and cultural transition through war and/or famine, the author puts her finger on one of the most interesting, complex and potentially most liberating aspects of our increasingly globalizing society. This book opens up hope for dialogue, empathy, mutual learning and ultimately the joyful acceptance of the diversity in us all."― Marc Levitt, storyteller, educator, and creator of "The additions on parenting of TCKs added to this seminal book are life-changing. Though I own the first and second editions I need this one too. I wish I had read it before our TCKs became teenagers." ― Jo Parfitt, p Payment We offer secure and easy checkout for all major credit cards through PayPal.
