It is entitled, "Living From the Inside Out: from Self-awareness to Self-acceptance". Part one of the book has the title, "Begin Within". It is a guide to how we might come to know ourselves, to gain self-awareness in order to address some of the problems we face and to realize the potential to be our whole true self. It blends ideas and methods that come from both Eastern and Western traditions.
In addition to the work he does , he is an amateur artist, unskilled but playful. He plays pool and swims most days in the South China sea.
