“The Awakening Journey” records author Tạ Minh Tuấn's realizations on his search for truth, an entrepreneur's inner reflections on humanity, essence, life and death, energy, the universe…
Author Tạ Minh Tuấn—the writer of “Journey of Awakening”
Recently, the community has received “Journey of Awakening” as a deeply meaningful gift, a “healing” therapy after the dark times brought by the global crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Notably, the author of this book is a young entrepreneur who was once very well known and has experienced periods filled with “glory”: entrepreneur Tạ Minh Tuấn.
Tạ Minh Tuấn is currently Chairman of TMT Group, a group of businesses in fields such as education, technology and consciousness development, as well as organizations engaged in social activities…
TMT Group aims to create positive social impact for Vietnamese people through inspiring, educating, and empowering entrepreneurs, leaders, young people, and those seeking a path balancing material and spiritual life. Representing this ideal is entrepreneur Tạ Minh Tuấn, born in 1988.
The Healing and Transformation Journey of a Previously Successful Entrepreneur: Aspiring to Peak Physical, Intellectual, and Spiritual Strength
Tạ Minh Tuấn became well known quite early, recognized as an entrepreneur and a person with “many stories to tell.”
At 19, while a second-year student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Tạ Minh Tuấn and his friends launched a social networking project, but it failed.
The company was later repositioned as a digital marketing service provider, when this industry was still very new in Vietnam and worldwide (2008).
Afterward, Tuấn shifted to the idea of building a personal home doctor business model, aiming not only to create economic value but also to positively impact the community.
This is also a pioneering model, the first on the market, geared toward personalized healthcare.
The idea arose from the belief that most illnesses can be completely prevented if people are conscious of prevention, maintain healthy lifestyles and receive regular health examinations.
In 2009, he and a group of friends turned this idea into reality.
His initiative to develop the family doctor system earned Tuấn recognition from the British Council, CSIP, and The One Foundation as one of Vietnam's 15 exemplary social entrepreneurs in 2011.
Through this model, Tuấn has helped many patients take proactive care of themselves and opened a progressive direction for the country's healthcare.
In 2015, the entrepreneur from the 8x generation was 1 of Vietnam’s 30 most outstandingly successful and influential figures, according to Forbes magazine’s prestigious ‘30 Under 30’ ranking.
In 2016, Tạ Minh Tuấn also appeared on Forbes Asia’s 30 under 30 Asia list, covering all of Asia.
In addition, Tạ Minh Tuấn holds many roles in the startup training and support system. He founded YUP Education, Vietnam’s first professional entrepreneurship training organization.
He was formerly President of BNI Master Chapter in Vietnam (one of the world’s leading business networking organizations) and President of JCI Central Chapter in Vietnam (a federation of young leaders aged 18-40 with more than 100 years of development worldwide).
Beyond business, Tạ Minh Tuấn holds important roles in business-networking organizations and community programs.
Longing to create tangible value useful to everyone, Tạ Minh Tuấn chose the path of a social entrepreneur.
When choosing business projects, he believes the most important thing to seek is core value:
Does it benefit society? Does it create many positive impacts?
Afterward, the Chairman of TMT Group decided not to pursue ideas that could earn a great deal of money but harm society, arising from his own awakening: how to keep his heart at peace.
“The Journey of Awakening”: from awakening from within to spiritual practice
The Awakening Journey records the search for truth and life's purpose through the ups and downs of its central character, named Thành Toàn.
Through dialogues with his spiritual teacher, whatever form that teacher took, Thành Toàn gradually found answers to his questions along the spiritual path.
The book is a guiding map for anyone still questioning humanity, death, life, awakening,… on the journey toward genuine happiness and the best essence of themselves. It also offers very specific, easy-to-understand practical guidance.
Thanks to this, each of us can begin taking the first steps on the path back to our pure essence without having to grope around for the way.
6 steps of meditation – a major lesson within each person
The Awakening Journey centers on the 6-step meditation journey of Awakening Meditation, a highly progressive method.
Step 1: Center the mind
Step 2: Protect your energy
Step 3: Connect with the Higher – self
Step 4: Integrate the lessons
Step 5: Unite with source consciousness
Step 6: Love shines
In Journey of Awakening, author Tạ Minh Tuấn wishes to tell his readers: the path of balance between the spiritual and the material is the middle way, neither denying the spiritual in the name of the material nor “taking refuge” in spirituality to “escape” material life.
Inspiring Entrepreneurship Among Young People
Having ventured out very early, Tuấn has profound experience of entrepreneurship and a business's development lifecycle.
As a result, he has been recognized as Vietnam’s number-one entrepreneurship training expert for many years.
To strengthen intellectual and inner capacity, Tuấn founded YUP Education in 2011.
The mission is to inspire young people, helping them start businesses confidently and create startup models that not only “survive” but contribute positively to the community.
On average, YUP helps over 2.000 young people each year apply the experience Tuấn and his teammates have accumulated, reducing young CEOs' wasted money, time, and effort.
Hành trình thức tỉnh là cuốn sách thứ hai của anh. Trước đó, anh cũng từng xuất bản cuốn Best-seller “Before Dawn, There Is Always Darkness“, cũng là một tác phẩm “thức tỉnh” về văn hoá khởi nghiệp.
Through his own success story, the author shares many insights into entrepreneurship.
Specifically, do not let entrepreneurship in Vietnam stop at an “entrepreneurship movement”; develop it into an “entrepreneurial culture” for greater sustainability.
Tạ Minh Tuấn is seen as an example of a young person willing to take action and use science and technology to create positive change in society.
