Author Description

Doing and Being: The Power of Now and Where You've Been is a soulfully written guide to living with intention, humility, and quiet strength in a noisy world. In a time when everyone is rushing to prove, perform, and predict the future, author Di Tran offers a refreshing and timeless message: Tell people what you are doing, not what you have done. Tell people where you have been, not where you are going. This deeply personal and universally relatable book is rooted in Di's own experiences as a father, immigrant, educator, and spiritual seeker.

It's about being more-right now. Whether you're a parent, student, leader, or someone seeking calm and clarity in a fast-moving world, Doing and Being will help you reconnect with your soul's purpose, one quiet act of love at a time.
