Hey friends, The international love for my book, The Inner Compass, continues! In addition to the licenses with Bloomsbury India (English + Hindi) and Dar Molhimon (Arabic), I’ve also sold foreign rights to Arrow Multimedia to publish a Thai translation of the book. I’m truly heartened to see the wide foreign interest in The Inner Compass, and there’s more to come. Thousands of copies of The Inner Compass are now out in the world, and my enthusiasm for the book keeps growing. There are...

Hey friends, I arrived in Korea earlier this week and the jet lag has been particularly rough this time around. With that said, I’m excited to be here visiting my parents over the next 2 months and spending quality time with them. I’m also looking to meet readers that live here, so if that’s you, please hit reply and let me know. I’m in the midst of some big writing projects, one of which is a long-form post on ambition. It’s been a while since I published a big post on the site (given that I...

Hey friends, Before getting into today’s new post, I have a quick announcement. Ever since I released The Inner Compass, I’ve received many messages that are some variant of this question: Will the book be available in India? The problem with self-publishing a book is that it’s hard to get print editions to various geographical markets without making it expensive to do so. For example, More To That has a substantial readership in India, which means that there are many people there that are...

Hey friends, I recently shared that The Inner Compass surpassed 2,000 copies sold in just over a month, which is an awesome start for a self-published book: Lawrence Yeo @moretothat Book sales update: 2,000+ copies sold in just over a month! Based on what I know about self-publishing, this is a very strong start. Thank you for the support. *Note: The paperback is 1.5x more expensive than the ebook, yet it's sold the most. Curious to see if this continues. 10:58 AM • Aug 25, 2025 4 Retweets 33...

Hey friends, There are now nearly 2,000 copies of The Inner Compass out in the world, and it’s continuing to find readers of all ages and backgrounds. The book has only been out for a month, and I’m truly heartened by the response. Thank you for the support. One of the benefits of self-publishing is that I can experiment with all kinds of things, including pricing. When I released The Inner Compass, I set the Kindle price at just $5.99 to make it easier for people to buy the book. But now...

Hey friends, My book, The Inner Compass, has been out for a little under a month now. In that brief time, it’s become a #1 Amazon bestseller, a Top New Release across multiple categories, and has received over 100 glowing reviews on the platform. Here’s one that I wanted to highlight: The Inner Compass is a book that, if read in earnest, has the potential to change your life. Not in the dramatic, sell-everything-and-move-to-an-ashram kind of way. But in the quieter, more radical way of waking...

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...

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...
