First of all, I got this book at Singapore Airport Changi Terminal 3, the new terminal that has high tech ceiling lights and check here for the rest. Best part though is the new Harris bookstore where I got this hard cover book for only S$10.90. For some strange reason, there are other titles autographed and cost the same price!
I have read a few self-help books before (not a big fan of them) but this one really got my attention. Stephen Pollan offers 10 tips in this book, not that they are new e.g. don’t live in the past, do your best, not the best, but it is the testimonies of the people he come across who are easy to relate to.
The best thing this book has done for me, is that I finally begin to see the light that no one thing in life can replace everything else. If you read my About Me, you understand why I even start this site.. Family and friends have been telling me it is not possible to find a job that meets all my needs but just seek a balanced life. I always take that as a sign of weakness, giving up on finding that something, this book convinced me otherwise.
And sorry for not updating this blog for 3 weeks, been reading this book, exercising, volunteering, doing pro-bono design and office work is busy with traveling.
1.5 year has passed since I wrote this post.. and I am thinking now if God has put a passion in my heart, then I have to pursue it. If it is from God, it will not lead to the ‘falling out’ of everything as written in this book by Stephen Pollan.
the real happiness comes really in your own- in our minds.
