About

In this talk, Vivek will share with us how he “upgraded” himself in the journey of cancer rehabilitation. In 2006, he was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and went through chemotherapy. When he had many reasons to grieve over his illness, he chose to be thankful for the experience. During treatment and rehabilitation, he decided to let his body rest and keep his mind well-fed. He was among the 2013 Hong Kong Spirit Ambassadors.

Speaker:Vivek Mahbubani
