Do you feel trapped in your work and life?

Do you feel empty and unfulfilled?

Do you see happiness as something you will achieve “one day”?

The sad truth is, achieving society’s definition of success – an impressive career, status and wealth – can be a hollow victory.

Yu Dan Shi knows this all too well. A lifetime spent chasing endless goals and the appearance of success came at a huge personal cost: a punishing workload while raising a family, a daily battle devoid of meaning, failing health and misery.

Facing the truth was a painful yet life-changing experience. It had been a long, difficult journey from her underprivileged beginning in remote China. But the void Yu Dan felt at the height of her corporate career was a gift. With a new vision of success and clarity about what truly mattered to her, she transitioned to a path of passion, joy and meaning. Her book will show you how you can do the same.

Change doesn’t have to be daunting. You don’t have to upend your life and throw away everything you have achieved. In this transformative book, Yu Dan explores the conflict faced by the high achievers and guides you through her four proven and research-based principles, giving you the practical steps to make real, sustainable changes to your life.

You can be happy now. You can transform your life. You already have everything you need to get started, right now.

So, are you ready to come alive?

Introspection, Action and Inspiration

Reviewed in Australia on 20 July 2019

The blending of an introspective view of the Yu Dan's life and how this author came to realise that she needed to change - and the actions that Yu Dan took in leading a more fulfilling life, is inspiring. Since reading the book I've applied a lot of the learnings to my own life journey; and I've noticed improvements in my own attitudes and those of the people around me. I found this book to be very insightful in how to view yourself in the world - and the simple things that you can do to change and improve. I think Yu Dan's learnings could be flexibly applied in part or in whole, depending on how subjectively or prescriptively you want to take this reading on.

Come Alive

Reviewed in Australia on 1 July 2019

As someone who works full-time in the corporate world, as well as being an author and a mum, I know only too well the struggles that come with trying to juggle life.

Come Alive, written by Yu Dan Shi, delves straight into the heart of chasing hollow victories for self-validation and the pressures of society on what it deems to be the definition of success. It challenges the thinking around what meaningful goals really are to us as individuals and how to minimise doing the unimportant things we chase for unnecessary glory. I found myself thinking about the priorities that are truly important, something sadly done too little. By the end of the book, I was inspired to deeply consider what brings true joy, passion, and wellbeing into a day, week, month jammed with time spent on far too many other trivial, unimportant things.

Beautifully told, this book merges insights from Yu Dan Shi’s own upbringing and journey through life with transformational tips. A great read for anyone hoping to make the necessary adjustments to achieve a more balanced life.

Breath of fresh air in the age of busyness and over-achievement

Reviewed in Australia on 4 June 2019

Is it possible to have both happiness and success? Yu Dan Shi has elegantly and empathetically written a book that leads you on a pathway to a life with meaning, purpose, and joy. It inspires from the first page with stories and insights, through to the incredibly practical exercises that you can put into action for yourself. This book is a breath of fresh air in an age of busyness and over-achievement. Thank Yu Dan Shi for this very important book.

So inspiring and hopeful

Reviewed in Australia on 4 June 2019

In the last couple of weeks, every conversation I've had somehow comes back to this book "Come Alive". Yu Dan's honesty about professional disillusionment is so refreshing and her heart-felt advice is so practical. This book has really challenged my idea of success and helped me see where I've gone wrong by not prioritising my strengths and values. Every day I find myself tapping into Yu Dan Shi's simple, yet powerful wisdom. Truly inspiring.

A great read with meaningful insights and a practical path to change

Reviewed in Australia on 5 June 2019

When I finish a book and immediately feel the need to read it again the impact is evident. While stemming from different backgrounds, so much of Yu Dan’s narrative was inherently relatable. Yu Dan’s journey and implementable, practical techniques for creating positive change are life-changing for anyone questioning or ‘feeling stuck’ at any stage along their professional journey.

Practical tips and an engaging read!

Reviewed in Australia on 18 June 2019

It was so great to read an inspiring yet practical book, told in such an engaging way.
I kept nodding as I was reading, feeling like I could relate to many of the issues Yu Dan went through herself. I will go back to the practical lessons for sure!

You WILL reach a crossroads in your life - this book can truly help

Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2019

Verified Purchase

Much of this book was scary to me. Upon actually listening to what Yu Dan was telling me through the pages, I realised it WASN'T scary, but how I had been conditioned to make it feel so.

It comes at a time when I questioned my abilities, career, and life path. Now I have renewed courage to forge forward. A different courage - one that is tied to my own ideas of happiness rather than outside forces perceive I should have.

Not too long either, so can digest without struggling.
