Find the synopsis below:
In the toughest of times and darkest of challenges, we still retain one freedom – the freedom to choose the meaning given to any event, no matter how disruptive or devastating. This meaning in turn, will define the person and the path he or she takes, which ultimately leads to success or failure. One cannot control what happens to one in life, but one can always control what one will feel and do about what happens to one.
Through a flowing storyline interspaced with lessons, Yu Jin will narrate his tumultuous journey from being at the height of the corporate world as a successful lawyer and investment banker to burning out and trying his luck in the world of entrepreneurship. He lost his life savings, borrowed hundreds of thousands, lost all of it and along with it, his wife and his health.

He shares yet another challenging story of a business partner who went rogue, took all he had and forces him to start over again. He ultimate triumphs and is now an award-winning speaker and owner of 5 successful businesses.
An expert story teller, Yu Jin shares powerful lessons on how one can become mentally tough and not just bounce back, but thrive in any challenging situation. Great for industries or corporations facing challenging times.
