Who reads these books

Three types of people who always get both.

If one of these sounds like you, you're who Ron wrote for.

Going through the motions

Life is fine. But something feels hollow. You have what you're supposed to have and it still isn't enough.

everything is good, but something is missing.

Thinking about leaving but still here

The job. The city. The version of yourself that feels borrowed. You keep almost doing something about it.

what are you afraid of?

Already jumped — figuring it out

You did the scary thing. Some days it's incredible. Some days you're not sure you made the right call.

no one can stop me if i don't stop myself.
From the pages

This is what the writing sounds like.

Three passages. Read them and decide.

Twenty Something · p. 128
you can be really grateful for where you are in life and still want more for yourself
Twenty Something · p. 133
maybe this chapter of your life is meant for you to do it alone. maybe this phase is meant for you to be a little bored and lonely. maybe this is what you need as you're putting your pieces back together. maybe it won't be fun, but it is necessary. maybe this is what you need to go through to evolve into the next version of yourself.
Embrace · p. 62
the things that feel overwhelming now will just be stories you tell later

I started writing because I had too much to say and no one to say it to.

About Ron

Ron Lim

At 22, Ron packed everything he owned and bought a one-way ticket out of the only place he'd ever known. No plan. No destination.

Nine years later, three books, four continents, and hundreds of thousands of people who feel seen in his writing. He writes because the journey needed somewhere to go.

I can't stress enough how much this book has meant to me. It's become one of those things I pick up every single day and just flip to a random page. WILL. CHANGE. YOUR. LIFE.

I came across Ron's quotes going through a horrible breakup. His posts kept me going every day. Don't think about it. Just buy it.

Bella Cortez · United States · Verified
★★★★★

Every page motivated me to dream bigger and go harder. Ron is the best at distilling big ideas into simple mantras I carry every day.

The format kept my short attention span. Something I will carry around and read over and over.
