Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribeâŚVery likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, Iâd personally send you a thank you email.
Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.
In this episode, I'm speaking with Derek Sivers, author of Useful Not True, who moved away from the United States after voting for Obama and hasn't looked back.
What would the world look like if we saw people from other countries or cultures as âcousins we haven't met yet?â A more peaceful and accepting world maybe? Or at least one where we are a bit more open-minded. Because as Derek puts it, âThis world is my home.â
In this conversation, Derek and I chat about why he left America. We also explore:
* Why he thinks integration is on the immigrant and not the local
* Raising his kid in multiple cultural contexts
* How to keep your mind flexible as an immigrant
* And his one tip for settling into a new country
