Slavery is not a historical issue - it's happening today. History is repeating itself. Through Sylvia Yu Friedman's work in journalism, counter-trafficking and philanthropy, she has had rare and incredible access to victims of sex trafficking and modern slavery in China, Thailand, Cambodia, North Korea, South Korea, Myanmar and Indonesia. Amid this terrible human suffering, she has seen frontline workers carrying a great light that has overcome the darkness in some of the most frightening places on Earth. This memoir describes her personal journey in the fight against slavery through supporting philanthropic initiatives and raising awareness through writing articles and producing films. She shares her personal setbacks, and how her awakening to the plight of the victims of Imperial Japanese sex slavery during World War II helped her come to terms with my identity issues over my Korean heritage. She writes about the lessons - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and the people and events that have shaped her along the way.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49519643558161,"sku":"GOR013326961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50919282180369,"sku":"CIN9814954349VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9814954349.jpg?v=1751424731"},{"product_id":"rethink-the-couch-book-sylvia-yu-friedman-9789815144062","title":"Rethink the Couch","description":"\u003cp\u003eGet a gripping glimpse into the therapy room and most powerful boardrooms in Asia in this first ever self-help collection of essays by an expatriate therapist from New York City In more than a decade as a psychotherapist to some of Asia' s most powerful couples and businesspeople, expat New Yorker Allison Heiliczer has seen it all.

Whatever your age, Fearless will inspire you to embrace your journey, confront adversity, and seize your destiny. Sylvia Yu Friedman has led philanthropic initiatives for some of the world's wealthiest families, transforming countless lives while shining a light on some of the worst human rights abuses of our time. For two decades, her pioneering investigations into the dark underworlds of sex trafficking and modern-day slavery - even at the risk of her life - shattered barriers and charted a course for a new generation of philanthropists and changemakers. In this captivating book, Sylvia takes readers on a journey through her life, marked by bravery, compassion, and a relentless commitment to changing the world for the exploited. Through intimate stories of close calls, rock bottom moments, and triumphant breakthroughs, she reflects on her struggles as a nerdy Korean-Canadian immigrant kid grappling with racial discrimination, the highs and lows of her adventurous career, and her ultimate realisation that true freedom comes from serving others. Along the way, she offers a wellspring of hope and insights on identity, overcoming heartbreak and toxic environments, finding love, and conquering self-doubt in this anthology of experiences drawn from philanthropy, journalism, and cross-cultural workplaces. This book is Sylvia's letter to her younger self, a rallying call to laugh unabashedly and harness the power of love. It's a blueprint for discovering the limitless power within to live fearlessly.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52764020637969,"sku":"NIN9789815233100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53250591129873,"sku":"NLS9789815233100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53500961161489,"sku":"CIN9815233106G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789815233100.jpg?v=1763608375"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sylvia-yu-friedman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
