FEATURED BOOK Uber’s problems in Germany stem in part from its founder and his ruthless attitude. A new bestselling book tells the story. Buy it from Amazon.com. What does this book have to do with Germany? If you’ve read our blog post about Uber’s Very Bumpy Road in Germany, you know that Uber and Germany have been like oil and water. Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber helps you understand why. REVIEWS: “Kalanick was a master of manipulation and deception during his reign at Uber, and it’s fascinating to see the machinations and greed that were ultimately his downfall. Once again, Uber is making headlines, and Super Pumped gives readers the jump on some of the backroom dealings that are now coming to light. A masterful work of investigative journalism… Mike Isaac’s book is a wild ride that you won’t want to miss.” – Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review “The first thing to know about Mike Isaac’s new book is that it’s wildly entertaining. But it’s also a very important read, because Isaac shows how Uber’s messy inner workings and dramatic power struggles have made a company that, for better and worse, is now part of the fabric of modern life.” – Bethany McLean, author of The Smartest Guys in the Room

This expat guide is based on the German Way Expat Blog.

Why expats will want to get this book:
Expat life in Germany can include glorious outings to Alpine castles, bratwurst and beer in the local Biergarten, and weekly shopping trips to the farmer’s market on the colorful local square. But it also can mean isolation, displacement, unemployment, and exclusion. With blunt honesty the authors address these issues and many more. How do I deal with homesickness? How can I make friends in my new country? How do I deal with being an accompanying spouse? These are vital matters that rarely get covered in your standard expat “how to” guidebook.
