Craig Storti
Author
With over 160,000 copies in print, my intercultural books are used all over the world by corporations, colleges and universities, government agencies, international organizations, the military, foreign aid agencies, and NGOs.
Two of my books —The Art of Crossing Cultures and The Art of Coming Home, now each in new editions—have become classics in the intercultural field, while Speaking of India has become the go-to resource for westerners and Indians working together in face-to-face and virtual/offshore partnerships.
Understanding the World’s Cultures, the 20th anniversary edition of the classic Figuring Foreigners Out, has become the curriculum for numerous university courses in intercultural communications, as well as being used for its original purpose: a do-it-yourself cross-cultural workbook.
My two most recent books are for general audiences:
The Hunt for Mount Everest is the gripping tale of the 71-year search for the world’s highest mountain and the first-ever attempt to climb it.
Why Travel Matters: A Guide to the Life-Changing Effects of Travel (now in paperback) educates readers in the differences between tourism and travel and teaches you how to be a traveler and change your life.
"Craig Storti’s brilliant insights into the cultural differences of these uniquely diverse nationalities both educate and entertain."
— Library Journal
“Craig Storti has done it again! He has produced another absolutely indispensable book which no one in the intercultural field will want to be without for long.”
— L. Robert Kohls, professor, Institute for Intercultural Leadership, University of San Francisco
"The conversations are so well-crafted and subtle—Storti goes far beyond the glaring clashes that are the stuff of stereotype—that often it is not apparent until we read the discussion that there has been a conflict at all"
— France Today
“Storti's cultural observations about Indians are spot on.“
— Ranjini Manian, CEO, Global Adjustments

“This is a must read! It provides rich insight into why routine interactions are often misconstrued, and offers practical advice on how to present material so both the East and West can relate.“
