The human experience is not a sum total. It is an ever-growing compendium of knowledge, forever changed by the contributions of each person's life, and as humans we are tasked with sharing what we know. "Reduced Reflections, " by author, philosopher, and engineer Tan Kheng Yeang, is the ultimate expression of Yeang's rich, original perception of humanity and the world. Yeang had a long engineering career involving extensive civil construction projects in China and what is now known as Malaysia; upon retirement he returned to his first loves of literature and philosophy and is now widely published. At times humorous, thought-provoking, heartwarming, and heartbreaking, "Reduced Reflections" promises to entertain and enlighten casual readers as well as the consummate philosopher. The volume can be opened to any page for a few quick one-liners, and it can also be read through its alphabetical presentation, revealing to us matters of the heart and soul, of social conscience, of nature, of learning-everything under the sun of the human experience.
