Abstract
This review summarises the main messages of a book “_Life Challenges, Diverse Identities & Creative Solutions_” (Sage & Matteucci, 2023), with authors contributing from across the world, who have come together to consider life today at a watershed time in history. Technology is rapidly transforming how we live and people movements across the world are changing national lifestyles. Different living approaches are the result of varying climates, landscapes and traditions that have evolved over the centuries worldwide. This means that there are cultural customs not always accepted by nations receiving immigrants, as views, values and routine behaviours conflict. The sections below look at these issues and pose solutions for society to move forward from the tensions and hate presently generated.
