George Yeo: Musings Series 1 - 3 [George Yeo: Musings]( [Buy Now]( [George Yeo: Musings]( [Buy Now]( [George Yeo: Musings]( [Buy Now]( Over sessions which lasted two to three hours each time, every week for half a year, George Yeo met and mused over a wide range of topics with writer Woon Tai Ho and research assistant Keith Yap. Speaking from notes, he began with himself and his hope for Singapore, and then spanned over a wide range of subjects — from the importance of human diversity and Singapore's reflection within itself of the world, to history, politics, economics, philosophy, taijigong and religion. He gives his views on India, China, ASEAN, Europe, the US and other parts of the world, and how Singapore's history and destiny are connected to all of them. The style is conversational and anecdotal. George Yeo: Musings is exactly that — musings. Some themes recur throughout the book which reflect his view of life. But there is no grand theory. He does not expect all of his reflections to be of interest to everyone, but he hopes that everyone will find something of interest. Review of the Musings Series One: "Musings gives the reader an enthralling lesson in Asian civilization, history, culture, traditions, philosophy, religion and political thought. His musings reflect a brilliant and intellectual mind, always curious and inquisitive. This is the George Yeo I know and admired as a colleague in the Singapore Armed Forces, a boss in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a good friend. A man destined for bigger things. Though not written as a biography, it gives a fascinating insight into his life, especially his Teochew identity and his strong attachment to his ancestral home in China. This book has something for everyone and is a must-read for every Singaporean." Winston Choo Former Chief of Defence Force and Diplomat Review of the Musings Series Two: "Musings Series Two captures what from my experience is most impressive about George Yeo: the sheer breadth of his life's accumulated knowledge and experience, on everything from Europe to Asia to America, and from Roman Catholicism to Chinese classical philosophy and religion. In doing so, he could not better represent Singapore, and its unique role at the crossroads of the world." Kevin Rudd Global President of the Asia Society and former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Australia Review of the Musings Series Three: "We live in a complex world and a turbulent era. Mere analyses do not seem to offer us much certainty. We need wisdom that is grounded in real-world experience. George Yeo's diverse Musings are woven into a masterpiece of insights so relevant to our world today. Myriad contradictions — in cultures, identities, history and realities — are treated with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. What one gains from the series are not references and models, but a deep sense of understanding that would be very useful when we navigate our unpredictable future." Eric Li Shanghai Venture Capitalist and Political Scientist [George Yeo on Bonsai, Banyan and the Tao]( [Buy Now]( [George Yeo on Bonsai, Banyan and the Tao]( Edited By: Asad-ul Iqbal Latif and Huay Leng Lee (Lianhe Wanbao, Singapore) "As can be seen in this splendid collection of speeches and commentaries, George Yeo's knowledge is wide-ranging as well. He can speak informatively about everything from the arrival and impact of the Internet in traditional societies to the role of city-regions in a globalized world to the woes and wonders of multi-ethnic and multi-religious polities. The reader will be well-rewarded by delving into this rich depository of insights and ideas." Nicolas Berggruen Chairman of the Berggruen Institute and Berggruen Holdings Click to Browse!
