Deciding whether you should stay in the US or if you should move abroad to live this next phase of life in another country can be overwhelming. While it may seem daunting or even impossible to pick up and leave countries, Should I Stay or Should I Go? A Step-by-Step Workbook to Help You Decide If Leaving the US is Right for You helps readers research and reflect on their options, making informed decisions about their future.
The sixty-one worksheets in Should I Stay or Should I Go? guide readers to identify what's true in their lives, what could be possible, and what they ultimately want. Then, it supports readers in determining their thresholds for leaving the US, exploring where they might live abroad, how they might move abroad, and to identify strategies to strengthen their digital and physical security if they stay or if they go.
Ultimately, the book helps readers know that whatever the outcome - if you stay or if you go - you've made an informed decision about your future.

About the Authors:
Grover and Nova Wehman-Brown created the Should I Stay or Should I Go Workbook to share tools they used when faced with their own complex choices about leaving the US or staying put under the pressure of rising authoritarianism, rising costs of living in the United States, gun violence, and an eroding safety net. After many years of interrupted conversations whispered from the front seat of the family car and late nights researching what could be possible, they now live in the Netherlands with their school-aged children. www.stayorgoworkbook.com
