This book has a wide audience. While 'the great American dream' is something many people from other countries want, it isn't as easy to achieve, as Ali Master points out. As a person who immigrated from a Western country to an Eastern country, I found his stories on culture shock the most recognisable, and I recommend anyone who is planning to relocate to another country read this book so you're more prepared than I was. The book is also a motivator. You may not be planning to change countries, but you can use the lessons here to apply to any significant change you want to make to your life.

I would recommend this book to readers interested in immigrant experiences and cultural diversity. Also, there's the exploration of the pursuit of the American dream, so I think potential immigrants might want to read this one too.

I would recommend this book to all who want to relocate and start a new life in a new country. The cultural diversity mentioned in the book will certainly give an insight into real-life problems faced my immigrants.

Ali's inspiring journey from Pakistan to the USA offers invaluable insights on overcoming stereotypes, culture shocks, and embracing a new life. So, I recommended for relocating individuals.

This would prove particularly resourceful for immigrants aiming to make the US their new home. It is also an inspiring read for anyone feeling low or hopeless.

Latest Review: The Illusion of Superiority by Christopher Joseph

Post by Ramadevi Tatavarthi »

I would recommend this book to anyone to let them know that there is a different world outside of our country and our religion. We should be open-minded and let ourselves explore the world and follow our passion and faith in the way we want, just like the author of this book does.

I would like to recommend this book to people looking to shift or move to someplace new. It doesn't matter if you are moving to new city, country, or state. This book helps people get the basic knowledge about your surroundings and gives you the idea of people around you. Ali's story helps you understand it much better.

I would recommend this book to those who have bigger dreams but in a situation to step back because of their family and societal pressures and restrictions. This book will definitely motivate and inspire them
