As part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of FAHASA – Ho Chi Minh City Book Distribution Corporation (1976–2026), FAHASA, in collaboration with author Tran Tien Cong, organized the Living Truth Book Launch and Meet-and-Greet Event at FAHASA Tan Dinh Bookstore on June 9, 2026.
The event provided readers with a unique opportunity to meet and interact directly with author Tran Tien Cong, hear the inspiring story of how he turned a dream nurtured over 15 years into reality, and explore the meaningful messages about vision, faith, and living in alignment with one’s values that are conveyed throughout Living Truth.
From a Goal Written Down in 2011 to Co-Authoring a Book with Jack Canfield
In 2011, during a period of self-discovery and personal growth, Tran Tien Cong wrote down a remarkable goal: to one day become a co-author of a book with Jack Canfield, the internationally renowned author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and The Success Principles.
Although he did not achieve the goal within the original ten-year timeframe he had set for himself, his dream ultimately became a reality after 15 years of perseverance with the publication of Living Truth.
Reflecting on this journey, Tran Tien Cong shared:
“Between 2008 and 2011, the two books that had the greatest impact on my life were Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins and The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. I read them every day and consistently applied their principles to my own life. Jack Canfield’s story inspired me to write down a goal in 2011: that one day I would publish a book as his co-author. I did not achieve it within ten years, but after fifteen years, that dream finally became a reality.”
According to the author, collaborating with Jack Canfield and successful entrepreneurs from around the world throughout the creation of Living Truth provided him with invaluable lessons in determination, belief, and perseverance in pursuing meaningful goals.
Author Tran Tien Cong and His Milestone in the International Publishing Project Living Truth
Tran Tien Cong is an entrepreneur, coach, and Founder of VCI International, the first coach training institution established in Vietnam. With more than 15 years of experience in the field of human development, he is widely recognized as a pioneer in laying the foundation for the coaching profession in Vietnam. He has played a significant role in building the coaching movement in the country and introducing the international standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) to the Vietnamese market.
To date, VCI International has trained more than 2,000 participants through hundreds of specialized programs, fostering a nationwide community of professional coaches. This 15-year journey represents not only a personal achievement but also the development of an emerging profession in Vietnam.
Participating in the international publishing project Living Truth alongside Jack Canfield marks a significant milestone in Tran Tien Cong’s professional journey. More than the fulfillment of a goal he nurtured for 15 years, the book stands as a testament to the power of vision, belief, and perseverance in overcoming challenges and turning aspirations into reality.
Living Truth: Inspiring Messages Drawn from Real-Life Stories
Through Living Truth, the author aims to share positive values centered on personal growth, perseverance, and the belief that every individual has the power to transform their life.
One of the book’s key messages is: “When you have a clear enough VISION and a deep enough BELIEF, you will achieve your goals – even if you do not yet know HOW. Let the power of your WHY guide the way. Do not allow yourself to become trapped by the question of HOW.”
More than a story of personal success, Living Truth serves as a message of encouragement to those who are pursuing their dreams. It reminds readers that any goal can become reality when they remain persistent, maintain faith in their vision, and continue taking meaningful action despite challenges along the way.
By sharing authentic experiences and hard-earned lessons, the book inspires readers to embrace their aspirations, trust the process, and stay committed to creating the life they truly desire.
