And you, yes you who have read this far, surely you are also grappling with uncertainty—don’t we all? So if you’d like some company . . . or perhaps simply want a laugh, WTF are you waiting for? This is for you, too.

The Glory in Us All
We enter the world shaped by the blueprint of our existing family legacies, and intergenerational patterns which form our personalities, ways of being, acting and thoughts around our given stories.
Through our first experiences and relationships with parents, caregivers and our surroundings- we learn to determine our self-worth, expectations and decide what to expect and accept from others and the world. This sets the tone and template for our relationships with those around us, partners to come and how we derive purpose. In order to live with the lives we are given, we are taught to bury the overwhelming, confusing and shameful parts of ourselves.
The Glory in Us All explains through the stories of clients working with Dr. Cassandra Aasmundsen-Fry, a Clinical Psychologist, how the knowledge and life we have buried is responsible for making us feel stuck in our relationships, careers and search for fulfilment. Integrating the knowledge we have buried in relation to epigenetics, attachment , intergenerational trauma, mental health and denied needs allows us to embrace ourselves for the first time and enter into a fulfilling life with meaningful relationships, purpose and a sense of contentment.
The Glory of Us All is about unearthing and embracing the difficult parts to reconnect with ourselves and with hope.
The Anti-Procrastinator
Unlike most productivity books, The Anti-Procrastinator is not a prescriptive roadmap to being more efficient in life. Instead, it will guide you to create your own manual to get things done through the power of self-awareness. By aligning your why with your values, your mission, and your action plan, you will minimize resistance and maximize results.
What this book will show you is the importance of knowing yourself and developing self-awareness. It will ask you confronting questions that only you can answer; it will show you how to look inward and dig deep into yourself and how to look outward so that you can understand your surroundings. It will challenge your thinking because in order to change, you need to change your mindset first. It will make you look ahead to know where you are headed and, more importantly, where you want to go because we only get one shot at this mystery called life, so you might as well create an epic journey that turns into your legacy.
Whether you want to learn a new language, run a marathon, learn a new skill, or launch a business, The Anti-Procrastinator will show you that it’s possible, but it starts and ends with you. Self-awareness is the name of the game.
The Future Fit Asian Organization
The first edition of The Future Fit Organisation: A Leader’s Guide to Transformation was a best seller across multiple continents. This suggests the leaders of today are still searching for answers.
Searching for the way forward during times of uncertainty, disruption, rising societal expectations, consumer pressure and rapid technological advancements.
Searching for insights which work with, not against, multigenerational workforces, the informal bamboo networks, powerful governments and the collectivist nature of Asia.
Driving and embedding change in complex organisations is no mean feat, and certainly not a cookie cutter approach. Yet books on this topic that adorn the business bookshelf are devoid of a “glo-calised” (global yet local) approach which considers the often invisible yet powerful forces such as ethnic culture, deep rooted tradition and national culture.
Change and transformation literature and strategies are traditionally set against a Western backdrop. All too often, the words “that won’t work in Asia” are uttered, yet no effort is expended trying to define a way that will work in the continent.
The second edition of The Future Fit Organisation series dives deep into research and grass-roots case studies from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, China and India and outlines how to localise change management strategies which to harmonise with the distinct cultures within Asia.
Fearless
This mesmerising memoir and guide to achieving your fullest potential from a trailblazing champion of women’s rights has the power to change your life.
Whatever your age, Fearless will inspire you to embrace your journey, confront adversity, and seize your destiny.
Sylvia Yu Friedman has led philanthropic initiatives for some of the world’s wealthiest families, transforming countless lives while shining a light on some of the worst human rights abuses of our time.
For two decades, her pioneering investigations into the dark underworlds of sex trafficking and modern-day slavery – even at the risk of her life – shattered barriers and charted a course for a new generation of philanthropists and changemakers.
In this captivating book, Sylvia takes readers on a journey through her life, marked by bravery, compassion, and a relentless commitment to changing the world for the exploited.
Through intimate stories of close calls, rock bottom moments, and triumphant breakthroughs, she reflects on her struggles as a nerdy Korean-Canadian immigrant kid grappling with racial discrimination, the highs and lows of her adventurous career, and her ultimate realisation that true freedom comes from serving others.
Along the way, she offers a wellspring of hope and insights on identity, overcoming heartbreak and toxic environments, finding love, and conquering self-doubt in this anthology of experiences drawn from philanthropy, journalism, and cross-cultural workplaces.
This book is Sylvia’s letter to her younger self, a rallying call to laugh unabashedly and harness the power of love. It’s a blueprint for discovering the limitless power within to live fearlessly.
