You are invited... to our book launch, and the Purpose Club Founding Table on Nov 20!
Aaron Pang Book Launch, The Purpose Club Founding Table
Dear readers,
Our moment is here!
For the past six years, I have poured my heart and soul into writing.
If you are based in Hong Kong, I would like to invite you to a special evening:
On 20 November 2025, I will be launching my debut Penguin book: “shh... give me a moment” in Hong Kong. I am grateful to share that the book launch will take place at the prestigious Hong Kong University.
I will be sharing my raw journey including: how I became a published author from no writing experience to getting an offer from the world’s biggest book publisher, Penguin Random House, how introverts can master their superpowers for career and life success, and ways companies can create more introvert-friendly workplaces.
And that’s not it.
After the book launch, we will officially celebrate and inaugurate The Purpose Club—there will be keynote, networking opportunities, inspiration, and voices from other purpose-driven leaders.
The theme I’ve chosen for this year is: Catch Your Moment. I think this phrase epitomizes my raw journey.
At age 35, I thought I had life figured out, ready to be a dad. From a quiet, failed Hong Kong kid to the largest tech firm in the world, advising executives on strategy and business transformation. I had everything I thought would make me happy. A job. A house. Married with a newborn.
But soon, life hit me in the face:
A life crisis that involved my son, who nearly died in my arms. I was battling with dad guilt, anxiety, and shame. I couldn’t sleep.
During the same period, I was trolled on social media, canceled by ex high-school friends.
And the existential doubts in between.
I walked away to reset my career and life - to embark on an unknown path at 40.
These moments led me to writing, podcasting, and speaking, taking a career break from Microsoft, founding The Purpose Club; and now writing this newsletter to you.
If you’ve been following my journey, thank you.
On Nov 20, I will be sharing my raw journey, insights from interviewing CEOs, thought leaders, and athletes on my podcast, What Is Your Purpose.
If you’d like to join us, please check out the links at the end of this letter. If you can’t, no worries at all. Thank you for taking a moment to read my note.
And if you are feeling like how I felt six years ago.
Purposeless, stuck, and lacking a clear sense of purpose in times of change; I hope this note helps:
“Our purpose evolves over time. Don’t settle for the known path. Settle for being comfortable for the unknown path. Your future self is going to look back one day and realise this: your low moment is your growth moment. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not here. You only have this present moment - to pause, to drive forward.”

Evolve together,
Aaron
