Life of Pei: The Battle for Compassion is an inspirational read for those who are struggling with their thoughts and direction in life. With a few harrowing passages, the book describes Pei’s life experiences and how she found meaning in her life and a pathway to help other people who needed direction. Instead of using shock tactics, with exposure of cruelty and neglect through the media and social networking, she promoted a reasoned and integrated approach to foster empathy and compassion—not just for other people, but also for animals and the environment. Her covert investigations into wildlife issues, farming, captive animals, and companion animals show her bravery and commitment to a task. She came to believe that researching and developing an understanding of cultures is the key to successful and sustainable change in behavior.
Acknowledging that in her younger days she was impulsive and intolerant, also often unreasonable with others who she thought should work harder, Pei interviews herself and attempts to analyze what she has learned about herself and human nature. She believes that given the chance to understand the truth about life on earth, many people—but children in particular—will choose compassion over cruelty, and develop respect for themselves and each other, for other species and the natural environment.
Pei is the founder of ACTAsia, a groundbreaking charitable organization that works tirelessly to promote compassion for people, kindness towards animals, and respect for our planet. It has evolved in 17 years and Pei explains the heartaches, the headaches and the uncertainty when trying to manage a movement from another country, on a shoestring budget. She highlights the sacrifices her family has made, especially when she was away from home for several weeks at a time, so she could concentrate on the work and development of ACTAsia. She also describes how giving birth to a child in her 40s has given her a different perspective on life. She has learned how to view the world in a calmer manner, through simpler lens. The Life of Pei will inspire all readers and is a poignant and moving read.

Acerca del autor
Pei Su founded ACTAsia, a charitable organization, in 2006 to promote kindness and compassion through educational initiatives in Asia. Her background was one of hardships: the deaths of her parents, grandmother, and other close family members by the time she was only 16 had a significant impact on her thinking and behavior, taking her on a path of self destruction. Eventually, mainly through studying Buddhism and the influence of her Buddhist friends, she overcame many challenges and decided to travel to the UK, where she successfully completed an MA in Sociology Policy. On completing her studies, she found employment with the World Society for the Protection of Animals as Director for Member Societies, leaving after 5 years to establish ACT Asia. Pei is an international presenter at conferences and in the media and a visiting lecturer at the University of London College of Fashion and Suzhou University, in Shanghai.
