Migrations have occurred throughout human history. They are often challenging for both the migrants and their new countries. But immigrants can also make vast contributions to their new homes. All of us thus need to understand what will help new arrivals prosper. This book examines relevant topics such as occupation transitions, mental and physical health, cultural adaptation, fostering resilience, and related arenas.

The book is written by immigrants for immigrants as well for those who work with them. It integrates the authors' knowledge from social science, clinical practice, and their personal background to illustrate how people can succeed. They accomplished this through real-life examples that illustrate abstract concepts such as acculturation, ethnic identity, and career development. The book then recommends practical ways in which migrants can adapt to their new homes. As such it offers knowledge that can shape immigrant's paths, social service, healthcare, and employer strategies, as well as immigration policy in various locations such as the US, the UK, and the EU.

It is also available in English, German, and Spanish.
