About the book
Frank Bures investigates a disturbing phenomenon: people who develop severe psychotic symptoms when traveling to foreign countries, especially those culturally very different from their own. The book combines investigative reporting with psychological analysis to explore how environment, culture, and identity influence mental health.
With moving stories of travelers who experienced crises, Bures examines the fragility of the human mind and how our cultural roots shape our sanity. A read that expands understanding of cross-cultural psychology and emotional vulnerability.
