Each year, Lifestyle Asia releases a coffee table book to capture what “living at its finest” truly means. For 2018, we have released “Millennials. Travel. Entertaining,” a book inspired by a “curated Instagram feed.” We have collected photographs from outstanding travel stories, the most exemplary parties in town, and millennials who are making a difference in the world through the lives they chose to live.
The fourth chapter of the book focuses on millennials who are in the fields of media, law and activism. These exemplary individuals use their voices to tell the news and current events, defend the rights of human beings, and have found callings to live their lives in the service of others.
Scroll down to see a sneak peek of our book, featuring six excellent millennials chosen amongst hundreds that populate our pages.
