Expat author and blogger says: some people are better off staying put rather than pursuing a new life overseas.

Paul Allen, founder of ExpatLiving101.com and author of a new book for would-be expats entitled, ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Truth About Moving Abroad And Whether It’s Right For You’ says:
“Millions of people dream of a sun-drenched life abroad, yet most never manage to turn their dreams into reality. For those who do make the move, the relocation too often proves to be harder than they had expected.”

Drawing on years of experience of living abroad, and the reflections of expatriates from around the world, Paul Allen has set out to create a comprehensive guide offering insights into the pros and cons of living overseas, and advice for anyone contemplating a move abroad.

He continues: “This new book has been written specifically to address both the bright and dark sides of living abroad, and thus help people finally decide whether it is the right move for them. So whether they ultimately go or not, the book will spur readers to pursue the life they truly want.”

Are you tired of ending up with the wrong person? Are you with the right person but fearful of things going wrong? In either case this new book, written by a leading UK executive coach and practicing Druid, is for you.

In ‘Learn to Love & Be Loved in Return’, author Dr Paul Burr, sets out a practical, emotional and spiritual path for developing successful and lasting relationships in all areas of your life. You can start by improving your relationship with yourself.

Paul says, “This book will not double your dating rate nor make your more seductive or better at chatting people up. Instead you will discover and build upon the roots at the heart of all successful relationships. It’s about becoming authentic through a commitment to, and understanding of, real truth so that your relationships can blossom.”

Paul wrote this book because he’s keenly aware that whilst love undoubtedly brings great joy to many lives, it can also be the source of the most suffering.

“In my executive coaching practice, people would come to me with ‘performance’ issues or goals they wanted to achieve. Invariably what mattered most to them was their relationships with loved ones, colleagues and friends. By helping them to get the relationships in their life on track, they achieved massive breakthroughs in other areas.”

The book is big on personal responsibility. It is packed with self coaching tips and easy-to-follow steps for entering into and nurturing healthy, productive and happy relationships.
