“If this book could be a person, it would be every newcomer’s best
friend. It would be someone special to steer you gently, but firmly through the intricacies of life in this lovely and complicated country, a
guide who does not seek to judge or criticise, and allows you to gain an insight into the Swiss & their country”.
Hilary Frazer, Basel
Immerse yourself in the cultural attitudes of Switzerland’s fascinating,
multifaceted society. This study exposes different attitudes and potential misunderstandings about friendship, neighbourliness, being
professional, giving and getting compliments and criticism, parenting, schooling, being polite, entertaining, decision making, etiquette,
leadership, making plans and much much more.
Format: Soft Cover, 280 pages, 15 x 21 cm, CHF 29.80
