If you’ve ever found yourself smiling on the outside while quietly struggling inside . . . this book is for you.
Maybe you’ve done everything ‘right’. You followed the path, worked hard, made people proud. And yet, you lie awake at night wondering: Why does happiness still feel so far away?
I Miss Feeling Like Me gently names the hidden threats to happiness that often go unnoticed— burnout, perfectionism, emotional suppression, comparison, and more. Especially in Asian cultures where duty often outweighs desire, and silence is seen as strength.
Rooted in science but told with warmth, this isn’t a self-help manual filled with pressure or grand promises. It’s a compassionate companion to help you notice what’s no longer working . . . and take small, soulful steps toward what might.
What happens when a manipulator isn’t a distant boss or a stranger in a crowd, but the person sitting beside you at dinner . . . sharing your last name?
Your ability to deceive others while escaping consequence is impressive. But doesn’t the burden of all those lies ever make you stumble? Gideon returns to this question in the wake of yet another mess orchestrated by his sibling, Charm. The auction world she infiltrates is ruthless and lucrative, and she quickly learns to exploit it, bending its rules to build a gallery, a name, and a legacy.
No one is off-limits. Friends, rivals, mentors, and even family become collateral damage. As Gideon is pulled deeper into her orbit, the line between complicity and survival blurs, forcing him to confront the cost of his silence.
Lies We Live With is a sharp exploration of family, class, and identity, exposing the hidden violence of manipulation and the loneliness beneath intently constructed lives.
A consultant who has spent fifteen years in the safety and performance field, Ian Collins argues that organizations bolt meaningless ‘wellness’ programmes onto environments that systematically deplete their workers. Blame-based cultures guarantee the errors they claim to prevent, because they treat the symptoms instead of the core problem.
Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science, and the principles of Human and Organisational Performance (HOP), The Wellbeing Imperative shows how organizations must redesign their systems, building resilience at every level.
Because thriving people don’t just feel better. They perform better. And the organizations that understand this will own the future.
‘We want change. We dream of a different future. We believe this country can be better.’
This is a political memoir—a record of Pita Limjaroenrat that has never been told anywhere before. From his years studying abroad and working in business to becoming the unexpected face of Thailand’s pro-democracy movement, Pita recounts the personal and political journey that led to the 2023 election victory of the Move Forward Party, backed by more than 14 million voters.
Set against the backdrop of military coups, political upheaval, and growing public disillusionment, The Almost Prime Minister captures the hopes of a generation demanding reform, dignity, and equal opportunity. Blending intimate reflections with sharp political insights, Pita reveals the human story behind the headlines—a journey shaped by faith, sacrifice, public faith, and an unwavering belief in a better tomorrow.
When hope has already been awakened in a nation, can it ever truly be silenced?
A magical realist journey to repair a fractured mother-daughter relationship, set against a near-future Singapore encapsulated by a monumental glass dome.
Leia Ooi’s husband died two years ago, and she’s raising their children on her own. In addition, her father is approaching eighty, and her mother is literally now a two-toed sloth. She feels stuck in her life and ambitions, a victim of the sandwich generation. Then, on the cusp of Singapore’s ninetieth birthday, as a frightening epidemic threatens the country, a well-meaning acquaintance kidnaps Leia’s mother from her habitat, and mother and daughter must go on the run from the authorities. As Leia confronts her unresolved grief, a series of uncanny encounters makes her doubt her own sanity and whether she’ll ever be able to return to a normal life.
For fans of Bathing the Lion by Jonathan Carroll, The Butterfly Lampshade by Aimee Bender, and The Book of Records by Madeleine Thien.
Landscapes of Feeling stitches together Danton Remoto’s essays from over the last thirty years to form a patchwork quilt dyed in the hues of déjà vu.
Here is London during the time of Thatcher, and London thirty years later; the Philippines in its times of ferment; the campuses and cities of the United States; the kampung and megamalls of Kuala Lumpur.
A memorable gallery of characters abound: overseas Filipino workers pining for home, young men and women striding into their destinies, foreigners in another country.
Written with elegance and elan, Landscapes of Feeling explores issues of race, class, and the diaspora in Remoto’s trademark style: light but not lightweight, conversational and breezy.
The future is here.
And most organizations are nowhere near ready for it.
Across boardrooms and factory floors, in banks and hospitals and family businesses that have survived for generations, leaders are feeling the same unsettling sensation: that the ground has shifted beneath them and the maps they are navigating by no longer match the territory. And beneath the relentless pressure to perform, a deeper question is going unanswered—what is all of this actually for?
Future Shaping was written for this moment. Drawing on two decades of original research, executive practice, and fieldwork across Asia-Pacific, Michele Sagan traces the compounding forces that are hollowing organizations out from within and builds a rigorous, human-centred framework for what leaders, organizations, and people need to do next.
Readers will come away with a clear-eyed understanding of why their organizations are under pressure, a practical architecture for building genuine resilience, and the leadership tools required to create conditions where people bring their full capability to work rather than quietly withdrawing it.
This book shows you how you can shape the future.
What happens when the person who gives the most has nothing left to give?
At just 24, long before Eric Lim felt ready, his father developed dementia after a series of strokes, and with astonishing honesty, he recounts the heart-wrenching reversal of roles, caring for the parent who once cared for him, and explores love, loss and resilience.
Across an ageing Asia, a silent crisis unfolds: behind every elderly person who can no longer care for themselves stands a caregiver. This book is for the ones who hold everyone together while no one holds them, who answer every need but their own, and have forgotten themselves.
Nurturing the Nurturer is your invitation to look within. It uncovers the quiet forces that keep caregivers giving beyond their limits: filial duty, the fear of losing face, the guilt that follows even the smallest moment of rest. And it offers another way.
Drawing on mindfulness and restorative slumber, Eric offers a science-based approach to the roots of sleep deprivation, with tools and practices to lead you out of the maze and into the rest you need and deserve.
But this book goes beyond sleep. It is about reclaiming your life, peace of mind and ability to thrive in the toughest of times. It is a homage to the enduring tenacity of the human spirit and those who care for loved ones.
Above all, it is a meditation on a timeless truth: to care for a loved one, you must first care for yourself.
In an era obsessed with disruption, we are often told that progress requires tearing down the old to make way for the new. But what if the most powerful form of innovation is not destruction, but repair?
Kintsugi: Fostering Innovation in Business through Creative Integration introduces a new way of thinking about growth, strategy, and transformation, inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. In kintsugi, the crack is not hidden; it is highlighted, turning fracture into strength and beauty. This book argues that the same philosophy is increasingly shaping the most successful innovations of the twenty-first century.
Across Asia and beyond, many breakthrough companies are not replacing existing systems but creatively integrating them. Ride-hailing platforms like Grab and Gojek have connected informal drivers, small merchants, and digital payments into everyday infrastructure. China’s Taobao Villages have revitalized rural economies by linking traditional communities to global e-commerce. Companies such as Vinhomes, CARSOME, Tata 1mg, and Heng Hiap Industries have rebuilt trust, healthcare access, and circular supply chains by joining fragmented ecosystems rather than discarding them.
Drawing on rich case studies and practical insights from business strategy and regional development, the authors present ‘creative integration’ as a new paradigm for innovation. In a world defined by demographic change, climate pressure, and technological disruption, the challenge is no longer simply to invent something new, but to reconnect what has been separated.
Kintsugi offers leaders a powerful framework for doing exactly that: discovering hidden value in legacy systems, designing stronger connections between digital and physical worlds, and building resilient ecosystems rooted in trust and continuity.
The future will not belong to those who destroy the past most quickly. It will belong to those who know how to mend it.
