The Stay or Go Workbook

Should I Stay? or Should I Go? A step-by-step workbook to help you decide if leaving the US is right for you.

In an era marked by soaring living costs, pervasive gun violence, and an increasingly fragile social safety net, many Americans, including 40% of women under 44, are confronting the difficult question: Should I stay, or should I go?

Should I Stay or Should I Go? A Step-by-Step Workbook to Help You Decide If Leaving the US is Right for You is a workbook co-authored by Grover and Nova Wehman‑Brown to help people in the US decide if they should move abroad or stay put. The Workbook offers a comprehensive, empathetic roadmap for anyone wrestling with the difficult decision. Featuring sixty-one brightly designed worksheets, and warm, connected prose, the workbook guides readers through a structured process of self‑discovery, risk evaluation, and actionable planning.
