The Mobile Life (Ebook)

This practical, easy-to-read guide covers the entire process of adjusting to live somewhere new, from deciding to move, to being fully and happily resettled. It helps readers: * Understand the impact moving has on one's identity and self-esteem; * Become aware of one's personal approach to change; * Develop a strategy for designing the shape and quality of each family member's new life even before moving; * Master techniques for establishing new social networks, routines and a sense of belonging. The inspirational story of 20th century polar explorer Ernest Shackleton highlights skills such as leadership, self-motivation and flexibility, tools that enable readers to proactively adapt to any episode of change in life, personal as well as professional.
