Love in the Modern World: 3 Books

 

🌸 1. Love in SuperME Unleashed — Love as a Transforming Power

In SuperME Unleashed (by Dr. Vivian Passion Koh and Andy Ng),
Love is a conscious choice to connect heart-to-heart and elevate energy.
It’s not romance, dependency, or self-sacrifice — it’s the creative force that bridges Purpose and Gratitude.

  • Essence: Love here is energy — it’s what transforms pain into power, judgment into understanding, and fear into flow.

  • Focus: Inner alignment. You love yourself first — your inner child, your growth, your flaws — so that you can love others without expectation or need.

  • Transformation path: You start from Purpose (why you exist), move with Love (how you connect), and end with Gratitude (how you complete the cycle).
    Love, therefore, is fuel — it’s what makes you “SuperME,” a version of yourself that transcends ego and connects with humanity.

💬 “When you choose love over reaction, you become the calm in every storm.”

💎 2. Love in The Diamond Cutter (Geshe Michael Roach) — Love as Karma and Wisdom

In The Diamond Cutter, which applies Buddhist wisdom to business,
Love is inseparable from cause and effect.
It’s not emotion — it’s the intention behind every action.

  • Essence: Love is planting good karmic seeds — every act of kindness, fairness, or service plants the causes of future success and happiness.

  • Focus: Outer action with inner purity. The more love you give through helping others prosper, the more the universe returns abundance to you.

  • Transformation path: Through right thinking, right speech, and right livelihood — you turn love from sentiment into structure.
    Love here is intelligent compassion: you use wisdom to love, not attachment; you see others’ happiness as the mirror of your own.

💬 “The surest way to succeed is to make others succeed first.”

☀️ 3. Love in The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle) — Love as Presence and Awareness

In The Power of Now,
Love is not something you do — it’s what you are when the mind is silent.
It’s the natural state that arises when you live in full awareness, beyond ego and time.

  • Essence: Love is pure presence. When you are here, fully now, without judgment, the boundaries between you and others dissolve.

  • Focus: Being, not doing. Love arises naturally when the pain-body dissolves and the ego softens.

  • Transformation path: Move from thinking to observing, from control to surrender. Love then becomes a field of consciousness that connects all life.
    This is love as stillness, not struggle — the peace that needs no reason.

💬 “Love is to recognize yourself in another.”

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
