From childhood, we are shaped by our surrounding environments and cultures into becoming functional members of society. Society tells us exactly who we are supposed to be, what our wants and needs should be, and how to find happiness and fulfillment. But according to author Phi Dang, unlearning and letting go of all our preconceived notions of life and success is the key to living a life of absolute freedom and defining your success. With The Great Unlearning, you will identify your success values and define success in your own terms. Dang draws upon her experiences as a first-generation Australian Asian woman and provides an in-depth exploration of five key areas to focus on to realize your full potential as a woman. These areas are divided into success, self, inner being, relationships, and spirituality.

The Great Unlearning is a holistic guide to awakening and finding your true success story by being authentic to yourself. With the advent of the internet and social media, we are bombarded with information 24 hours a day, which makes it difficult to discern the important bits from static noise. Phi Dang's philosophy is based on this very idea -- how to shed the things you've learned over your time on this planet and identify what you need to know for who you truly want to be. Dang offers some thought-provoking insights into the nature of life and what it truly means to be successful on your terms. This is an inspirational book everyone needs to read.
