Freeman Fung is an international speaker, best-selling author and certified life coach, who has advocated new global citizenship at TEDx, Mindvalley and world tourism forums.
He left his native Hong Kong at 19 to begin a journey to travel and experience life in over 35 countries.
Freeman's book Travel to Transform teaches readers how to use traveling as a holistic personal growth tool and the fast-track to self-mastery.
In this episode, host Nikhil Torsekar and Freeman explore the following:
- The art and science behind Freeman's book Travel to Transform - which shatters the false dichotomy between travel memoirs and self-help books
- Takeaways from travels to more than 35 countries, including Romania, India, Finland, Singapore, and Australia
- Freeman's success in shedding the "templates" of his native ultra-competitive upbringing in Hong Kong, to find his true, authentic identity
- The cultural significance of the phrase, "have you eaten rice yet?"
- How traveling is the ultimate fast track to personal growth
- Nikhil and Freeman's shared experiences with the personal growth platform Mindvalley
- The true meaning of writer T. Harv Eker's quote that "money will only make you more of what you already are"
- Healing modalities Freeman embraced to manage Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), including the wisdom tradition of Shaolin Kung Fu as taught by TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner Micke Hoong
- Freeman's experience in India (Nikhil's native country), where - in addition to a rich tapestry of cultures - he witnessed the jarring disparity between the opulence of the business tycoons' skyscrapers and the abject poverty of the slums of Mumbai (where Nikhil's family is from)
- What we as "global citizens" can do to raise our collective consciousness to solve the problems caused by huge disparities in wealth that are pervasive throughout the planet
