‘‘Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the self-same well from which your laughter rises were often times filled with your tears”
When a messiah, the source of infinite wisdom, comes to the fictional town of Orphalese, the people take it as a sign to get their deepest concerns answered. Here was a man who you could tell, “I’ve been jealous”, “I worry about money”, “I cry a lot”, “marriage is difficult for me”, “I feel life is unfair at times”, and not be judged.
Written as a conversation between Almustafa, the prophet, and people of Orphalese, together they explore what spirituality, freedom, family, ambition, failures, success means to everyone.
The Prophet is a highly moving and thoughtful reading experience, like a compassionate friend gently holding your hand through uncomfortable paths of life. Written in a simple yet lyrical way, it brings a sense of soothing and catharsis to the reader.
A timeless philosophical work that offers guidance and pearls of wisdom.

As a species, our superpower is the ability to organize ourselves in flexible ways to pursue a variety of goals. But organizations are not just a means to achieve goals; they are also communities of connection, meaning and shared purpose, the natural habitat of homo sapiens. Balancing the goal-centric and human-centric aspects of organizations has always been hard, but digitalization, and in particular rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms can make it harder. This book outlines a vision for how to navigate the digitalization of organizations in a way that improves their goal-centricity while preserving or enhancing their human centricity.
On the brink of her thirties, Amanda Oon moved with her ang moh husband from London to Singapore—the country of her mother’s childhood; neighbour to the white cliffs and colonial shophouse streets of Ipoh where her father grew up. As they carve a new life in an unfamiliar country, she tracks down her family’s history and shares their stories of growing up in Singapore and Malaysia. The food, culture, and people that shape the identities of these two countries paint a vivid and nuanced portrait of their life and culture.
This is a story of family, race, identity, and self-discovery. But, above all, it is a cultural portrait of Singapore and Malaysia’s rich heritage and history.

‘This is a brief life, but in its brevity, it offers us some splendid moments, some meaningful adventures.’
Kimball O’Hara is a young orphan detective who lives in British India in the late 19th century. A street-smart child, he is fluent in several languages and recruited by the British Secret Service to help them gather intelligence on the Russian Empire.
Little Kim begins his journey across India, and he encounters a wide variety of people and cultures. He meets a Tibetan lama, a Hindu holy man, and a Pashtun tribesman.
Through his travels in the jungles, cities and the vibrant culture of India, Kim begins to explore what home means to him, is it in the sense of belonging he finds with the Lama so far away from his birthland?
Through his coming-of-age story, Kim’s adventures pay a homage to the inclusive, vibrant, and culturally diverse land of India.
