Bio
This is a website of both Yew Kam Keong PH.D (Dr. YKK) and Arthur Thomas Ware (Tom) authors of "Who Stole Your Happiness? - and how you can reclaim your rightful ownership.
The Happy Duo
Tom & Dr.YKK met in 2008 whilst attending a Toastmasters Club meeting in Sydney, Australia. They discovered that they shared many common interests: spirituality, creative writing, public speaking and - happiness. A mutually shared philosophy of “spreading happiness” appealed to them both, hence the idea for this book speedily took root. Both of them were already accomplished writers and speakers, so “Who Stole Your Happiness?” was a natural progression.
Yew Kam Keong or Dr.YKK, as he is popularly known, believes in being happy no matter what happens. Though his early years had been tough, he persevered. At the age of fifty-five, he was bitten by the Adventure Bug. Since then, he had tried sky-diving, scuba-diving, mountaineering, white-water rafting and other challenging sports. He had never been a sportsman in his earlier years. Though living a comfortable life in Malaysia, YKK decided in 2007 to move to Australia to begin life anew. He currently enjoys life indulging his passions of writing, speaking on business creativity and innovation, and now on happiness as well. YKK has four grownup children, two boys and two girls, and three loveable grandchildren.
Arthur Thomas Ware – who prefers to be addressed as Tom - has been following his passion of teaching people to know about themselves for a long time. For the last eight years he has run a class for the University of the Third Age (retirees) in Sydney. His subject: Inner Quest, Our Search for Happiness – Body, Mind, and Spirit. Several hundred people attended these classes over the years, some remaining right from the beginning. Tom’s had an interesting life, living and working in a number of countries and in half-a-dozen different specialist fields including a year-long stint as an Antarctic expeditioner. He’s now into his fifteenth year of so-called ‘retirement’ and has never been more productive in his life. He’s married, with three grownup children and four adorable grandchildren.
