Emily Chang is a seasoned executive who has worked with some of the world’s most renowned companies like Procter & Gamble, Apple, and Starbucks. Over the last 21 years, her job has brought her and her family to eight different homes across the US and China. And everywhere she’s lived, Emily has found herself at the unique intersection of her offer and offense. Life has served up young people who have been abused, neglected, or marginalized, to find sanctuary in her spare room. Among her deeply personal accounts, Emily shares heart-wrenching stories of an emotionally abused child bride, a dying 18-month-old boy born with hydrocephalus, and the abused daughter of a local prostitute.
With the 16 young people she and her family have cared for, Emily has found that living into her social legacy has not only deeply enriched her home life, it has also enabled her to become a more authentic and relatable leader in the workplace. Each time she opened the door to her spare room, Emily found herself in a front-row seat, witnessing one of life’s incredible stories unfold. Integrating work and life, she introduced her spare room kids to colleagues and encourages her team members to invest in their own social legacies.
Now more than ever, social purpose has become an urgent leadership imperative. The Spare Room will help you identify your social legacy to live a more intentional life and lead with authentic purpose.

Following the inspiring stories in each chapter are personal development exercises and frameworks to help readers identify actions to create a lasting impact and live a life with meaning. These sections constitute some of the simplest and clearest guides I have ever seen to purposeful tools such as Ikigai and energy maps... yet I found myself skimming them rapidly because I just could not wait to feel moved by the next story.
This is one of the rare books I will re-read and come back to when in need of inspiration, and in due course follow through with its personal exercises. I especially loved Emily's twist on Ikigai: combining your "offer" (parallel to what you love / what you are good at) with your "offense"; instead of what the world needs / what you can be paid for, that "thing that stands out among others, that tugs uncomfortably at our gut and pesters our conscience until we take action." Most of my experience from coaching and development has centered on positive psychology, although we humans evolved for survival with a natural negativity bias. Using "offense" in this respect is not at all negative, but practically effective (and evoked approval from my inner stoic).

That's the moment I kept thinking of as I was reading Emily Chang's new book, The Spare Room. Because Emily and her husband Minki have made that decision, not just once in their life, but sixteen times!
In the book, she shares five of those experiences, plus the stories of ten other people who made similar sacrifices to make the world a better place for all of us, plus a guide to help you find your unique way to leave a social legacy just as meaningful.
I guess I'm recommending you read it. :-)
