Sign up TODAY to meet these 4 wonderful human books:

📘 NILISHA BHIMANI
Originally from India, Nilisha has lived in five countries and travelled to nearly 50, experiences that — along with repeatedly having to reinvent herself every few years — have deeply shaped how she understands identity, empathy, and belonging. Navigating different cultures, roles, and life phases has taught her that identity is not fixed, but something consciously shaped over time.
📖 BOOK TITLE: "Stay Fabulous: Lessons in Reinvention, Empathy, and Choice"
🌐 Language: English🇬🇧, Hindi🇮🇳

📕 REBECCA MORGAN
Rebecca is an events and community-building specialist who has called Ho Chi Minh City home for the past 12 years. What began as a move overseas became a deeply formative chapter of her life. In Vietnam, she built a career delivering corporate, community and charity events across the region, while finding a strong sense of belonging through sport, volunteering and grassroots fundraising. Known for bringing people together with warmth and purpose, Rebecca credits Vietnam for teaching her patience, resilience and the value of community. As she prepares to return to Adelaide, she does so with deep gratitude, carrying these lessons into her next chapter.
📖 BOOK TITLE: "12 years an Expat"
🌐 Language: English🇦🇺

📗 ANAIS VICTOR
Arrived in Vietnam in 2012. Anais has an international career in Product Management for outsourcing companies and startups. She recently launched the Saigon Well Being non-profit organization to support mental health for all.
📖 BOOK TITLE: "The Hidden Side of the Iceberg"
🌐 Language: English🇬🇧, French🇫🇷

📙Nam MA KIM
After 15 years at Microsoft and Meta followed by a journey as a startup COO in France and Vietnam, Nam is a 52-year-old entrepreneur-musician striving to bridge material success, hypersensitivity, spiritual awakening, and my role as a father.
📖 BOOK TITLE: "The Romantic Entrepreneur: Seeking a Virtuous Cycle of Profit, Spirit, and Poetry"
🌐 Language: English🇬🇧, French🇫🇷, Vietnamese🇻🇳

📚 HUMAN BOOK INTRODUCTION 📚

Sang Dan is a multidisciplinary artist and designer who believes that life is a canvas best painted with bold choices and fearless creativity.

https://www.sangdan.net/
https://www.linkedin.com/in/sangdan/

📕 BOOK TITLE: "No Fixed Address, Just Bold Directions"

📖 BOOK CHAPTERS
“In Transit, On Purpose” could be a chapter name. Moving out of Singapore and leaving behind a “comfortable” life without a plan. I chose movement over milestones, art over certainty, and intuition over the conventional roadmap. It was a leap into the unknown that became the foundation for everything that followed.
