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.

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 next
- An A to Z glossary of cultural topics covering the differences that matter most in everyday cross-cultural life, including:
- Addressing people and forms of respect
- Apologising and saving face
- Attitudes to time, punctuality, and deadlines
- Friendship, trust, and social distance
- Family roles, parenting, and gender expectations
- Food, hospitality, and gift giving
- Mental health, ageing, and care of the elderly
- Religion, privacy, and personal boundaries
- Work ethics, hierarchy, and professional communication
- And much more
Who is this book for?
This book is written for:
- Migrants and new arrivals trying to make sense of their new cultural environment
- Expats and international professionals working across cultural boundaries
- Travellers who want to engage respectfully and meaningfully with the cultures they visit
- Teachers, counsellors, and social workers supporting people through cultural transition
- Anyone in a cross-cultural relationship — romantic, professional, or personal
- Curious readers who want to understand why people from different backgrounds see the world so differently
Written 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.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
