Hey friends, Hello from beautiful Toronto, where I’ll be for the next month visiting family. I may host a meetup with readers sometime in August, so if you’re interested, hit reply and I’ll gauge whether or not to set it up. In other news, The Inner Compass has been out for just 3 weeks now, and I’m still surprised at the response. It continues to be a Top New Release on Amazon and has sold over 1,500 copies already, which means that it’s traveling by word-of-mouth. It’s wild to see this...

Hey friends, Today I have a personal long-form story to share. I wrote it a while back but was waiting for the right time to publish it, and I think the time is now. But first, a quick update on my new book, The Inner Compass. I recently shared that the book surpassed 1,000 copies sold in just over a week, which is an incredible start for a self-published book: Lawrence Yeo @moretothat 1,000+ copies sold in just over a week. From my understanding, this is a fantastic start for a...

Hey friends, My debut book, The Inner Compass, was published last week… and wow. You showed up to support the release in a way that truly surprised me. The book hit the Top New Release spot in four major book categories: Creativity, New Age, Spirituality, and even Motivational Self-Help. That latter category is one of the most competitive categories on Amazon, and yet the book occupied that top spot. Lawrence Yeo @moretothat Wow. The Inner Compass just hit the #1 new release distinction in...

The big button below will take you to the book’s Amazon page where you can order it right away: Of all the available formats, I recommend that you get the paperback edition of the book.

Hey friends, My book, The Inner Compass, comes out in less than 1 week, on Tuesday, July 8th. After a year of holding it close to my chest, I’m excited to let it go and see how you respond to it. Yesterday I sent out an invitation to people that are on the waitlist to join the book’s pop-up community. People have already started introducing themselves, and it’s been beautiful to learn more about those that have joined. I will be hosting a live chapter reading tomorrow (Thursday) at 10 AM PT...

Hey friends, Thank you for the heartening response to my announcement of The Inner Compass.

As a reminder, the book comes out soon, on Tuesday, July 8th. But in the (short) meantime, I’ll be opening up a pop-up community for those of you that have joined the waitlist. I will be hosting 2 live readings and opening...

Hey friends, Over the past year, I’ve been working on a book. And now, I’m ready to put it out into the world. It’s called The Inner Compass, and it’s on cultivating the courage to trust yourself. In a world that makes you doubt your intuition at every turn, this book will help you build conviction in who you truly are. It’s often said that authors write the books they need to read, and this was no exception. I wrote The Inner Compass when I was in a deep period of self-doubt, and working on...

In the meantime, I wanted to re-share a post that is thematically linked to what I will announce next week. Without spoiling anything, I’ve realized that a common thread that weaves its way through my work is...

Hey friends, Like many of you, I’ve found recent news cycles to be exhausting, largely because they thrive on painting bleak futures for the general public. But I think the real source of exhaustion comes from the dialogue surrounding these events, and the ensuing bouts of anger that emerge as a result. So in today’s post, I want to explore the anatomy of anger. On one hand, anger is necessary to fight against injustice and to take a stand at scale. But on the other, it’s a destructive force...
