Tan, Chade-Meng - Search Inside Yourself - The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (and World Peace)

Meng shows you where the tools are hidden inside of you, mapping your way with the precise logic of an engineer, encouraging you with the compassion of a longtime meditator, and in an ironic twist, seducing you to press ‘pause’ on the incessant drone of technology and modernity in the outside world, just long enough to find joy within you in the ancient wisdom, on the path eternal.”

—Larry Brilliant, president of the Skoll Global Threats Fund

“Chade-Meng has written an excellent book that should be read by everyone. This great work restores emotional intelligence and its underlying traits, compassion, awareness, and empathy, or at least underscores the need for these attributes in our society. It is no surprise that the best venture capitalists and entrepreneurs I know all possess the attributes that Chade-Meng alludes to. In my opinion, this is one of the best works ever in personal development and a refreshing change from so much verbiage out there in other works. Read this book, and it will profoundly change your life.”

—Tan Yinglan, author of The Way of the VC and Chinnovation

“I began reading his book with a somewhat patronizing attitude, like an uncle going through a nephew’s writings. As I leafed through the pages, I found myself sitting up, poring over the words more carefully and reflecting on what he had to say with increasing seriousness. When I visited Qom a couple of years ago, a Grand Ayatollah gave as his parting words to me: May you find what you seek. I have long thought about what the Grand Ayatollah said. Chade-Meng’s book has pointed me in the right direction.”

—Brigadier-General George Yeo, former minister for foreign affairs, Singapore
