Entertaining first-hand account of an expatriate's life
Interesting and well-written, this book offers caution about moving to Thailand, as many want to do. The author goes into detail to describe the various pitfalls of relocating from the West to Thailand with first-hand experiences and as witness to others' experiences there. Best of all, it's entertaining. it's a good read and I recommend it, whether you want to move to Thailand or not. if you do want to move to Thailand, it's a must read.

Good but often sanctimonious
I really enjoyed Gordon Livingston's first book "Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart" - a gathering of insights gleaned from four decades of listening to the same problems over and over from his psychiatrist's chair. However, with the deserved success of said book he has now delivered a sequel that tends to stray on occasion from the "observations on life that I've gleaned over the years" take that made his first book such a hit.
To be sure, there are quite a few chapters that are solid and wise - not unlike the first book. At other times, he strays from the psychiatric profession and preaches his cynical political and social opinions, which I did not sign up for. His hypocrisy of complaining about folks on television ("experts") who argue political and social opinions should not be lost. Apparently they shouldn't do our thinking for us on these issues... but he can. Thanks Doc.
For some reason, he presumes that we want to hear his opinions on the Bush administration, about universal "tolerance" of others (what about standards? or excellence?), the pharmaceutical industry, the military, and his constant carping on those with strong religious convictions.
For me, personally, he wore out his welcome in this book. I do recommend reading it though since there remain several pearls of wisdom in it. I would simply caution the reader to read each chapter with a sharp eye for when Livingston gets out of his therapist's chair and up on his soapbox.

Too expensive
It works perfectly, as it should. However, at $25 plus $3 shipping, it's exceedingly overpriced.
