From Burnout to Bliss

He built a global company from nothing, and it nearly cost him everything.

This raw founder memoir follows Dr. Shaoqing Sun from a remote Chinese village to the top of the upstream oil & gas sector, and straight into the wreckage that success left behind.

Dr Sun pulls no punches. He exposes the hidden cost of workaholism, the damage of unchecked ego, and the surprising convergence of neuroscience, Eastern philosophy and spiritual awakening that finally set him free. This is not a success story. It is a survival story, and a transformational one.

• Discover how an immigrant entrepreneur recovered from burnout and rebuilt with purpose
• Explore the powerful intersection of neuroscience and spiritual self-improvement
• Develop emotional intelligence habits that reshape how you lead and live
• Gain hard-won insight into personal growth and motivation forged through crisis, cancer, and incarceration

If you are a driven leader who has built something impressive and still feels inexplicably empty, this book was written for you.
