Final Conversations: Helping the Living and the Dying Talk to Each Other
This book is a must read for anyone who will be working abroad. As an educator, I found the information very insightful. Even if you won't be working or teaching abroad, I think the information is applicable to working in your homeland, too. Think about it! Especially as an American our country is a ginormous melting pot of such diverse cultures, people, and the like. We are working, collaborating, communicating with people for all different walks of life on a daily basis. You can easily apply this information to your native country, too! Enjoy! (I only knocked off one star, because some of the earlier chapters it felt repetitive.)
