Reviews

After living in various cross cultural contexts for the past 17 years, my first impulse is to say that this book is too simple. Yet, it is more Livermore taking crucial concept and making them simple. I can’t help but imagine how much better I and others could have adapted to our surroundings if we had adopted this knowledge, strategy, and actions. Grateful for Livermore and his many resources.

3.5 - This book is helpful because it's straight forward and clearly organized, so you could look back on it at a later point and find exactly what you were looking for. But I didn't feel like much of it was new information to me.

Great book!

[Wendi]

The audio version from Great Courses or Audible is 10 times better. I highly recommend the audio version over his books.

[Sumner Adkins]

Had to read for my summer internship.

[David Olsen]

Decent. Does not have a lot of room for the poor or those with little social capital. Also, ironically it is a bit Western in its focus in that it is so influenced by business culture/capitalism.

This guy mastered one topic and then just wrote 5 bazillion books on it, each with its own flavor. I’m sure if this was the first book of his that I had read, I would rate it higher

Livermore’s Cultural Intelligence Difference provides a strong argument on the importance of cultural training. If you have ever wondered about your personal ability to interact with diverse populations, this book can provide you with a tool to improve your competencies. This book provides its readers with a short assessment to measure their personal CQ score. In addition, this report also includes a development section that guides users to develop their CQ skillsets. Cultural intelligence is an important asset in today’s diverse workplace and this book provides readers with the knowledge of how to shine in multicultural interactions.

On a final note, I encourage readers purchase a new volume. Each book provides a unique online code to assess the Cultural Intelligence Feedback Report. Used editions of the text may have codes that were previously used and expired.

Livermore is highly knowledgable in the field of CQ, has a very personable way of reaching the reader, and relates his knowledge and experiences in such a way which helps everyone understand the importance of CQ and how to incorporate CQ in our personal and professional lives. This is a highly beneficial read for everyone as we all interact in today's Global Economy.
