Should I Stay or Should I Go?: The Truth about Moving Abroad and Whether It's Right for You Paperback – March 1, 2010

by Paul Allen (Author)
3.9 out of 5 stars 23 ratings

Stop! Before You Move Your Life Overseas You Need To Read This Book Moving to a new country is certainly not as hard as it may seem, but it does take a concrete decision, followed by decisive action. This book helps you make that decision, and points you firmly in the right direction to not only move but to live successfully in your new home. Once you've read this book you will be able to confidently answer all-important questions such as... 1. Is moving abroad really right for me? 2. Do I have a temperament suited to the expatriate life? 3. Am I considering emigrating for the right reasons? 4. Would I be best placed staying where I am? 5. Where in the world, home or away, am I likely to be happiest? 6. What factors should I consider when choosing my new country? The whole life abroad dream seems great, and yes, moving overseas can lead to a healthier, happier, richer life - but many expats still return home each year with their dreams and finances in tatters. So, rather than giving you yet more on the mechanics of moving overseas, this book is packed with first-hand accounts, well-researched facts and balanced questions to help you answer the most important question of all: should I go in the first place? Should you stay or should you go? Now is the time to make up your mind and really start living.

    This book covered mostly from British perspective and didn't go into any detail on the country that I was interested in going to. It did give some insight on reasons to consider before leap

    4.0 out of 5 stars Honest book on the pros and cons of moving abroad
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2010
    The question to move abroad is a complex one, but Paul Allen's book, Should I Stay or Should I Go: The Truth About Moving Abroad and Whether It's Right for You makes the decision process simple (at least as simple as something this life-altering can be). It's well-written, well-researched, easy to read, but most importantly, it's honest. While the decision to move abroad is emotional as well as rational, Allen's book helps you separate the two by focusing on ten areas one should consider when moving abroad. But ultimately, as Allen points out, the decision to move really comes down to the big what if and which what if? you'll regret more in the future. My only regret: not having this book before I moved to Switzerland.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough overview
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2010
    Maybe I'm biased because Paul interviewed me for this book, but I think it's a great, thorough overview of the process of deciding whether or not to move abroad. It is such a large and important decision that I think many who contemplate it get overwhelmed and just abandon the thought. Should I Stay or Should I Go will provide a great assistance to people in that position by demystifying the process.

    It did not cover all the countries in SA I thought it would. It makes you think about leaving though.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Postive Reviews actually part of the preface of the book
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019
    I was strongly considering buying this, but there are only 6 reviews, and one of them is, word for word, part of the front end material of the book. Not exactly an unbiased review. This is both disappointing and misleading, so I decided NOT to buy the book.
