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...

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...

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...
