The 38 Cycles began with a question that YB could not stop asking: why do some people move through life with clarity, purpose, and grace — while others, equally talented and equally deserving, feel perpetually lost, stuck, or behind?
The answer was not intelligence. It was not luck. It was not even hard work. The answer, after years of careful observation and deep reflection, was this: the people who thrive are the ones who understand the cycle they are in.
Life moves in patterns — repeating, seasonal, and entirely predictable once you know what to look for. Love follows a cycle. Money follows a cycle. Grief follows a cycle. Growth follows a cycle. Career, identity, purpose, health — every major dimension of human existence has a rhythm. And most people go through their entire lives without ever seeing these cycles.
YB spent years studying those patterns — across his own experience, across the lives of the people around him, and across the accumulated wisdom of human understanding. The result is The 38 Cycles: a collection of 38 honest, life’s powerful truths, one for each of the most important seasons of human life. Not theories. Not frameworks. Truths — distilled, tested, and written to be understood by anyone.
“Nobody sat me down and said — here is what the seasons of life actually look like. Here is what is coming. Here is what to do when it arrives. I wrote this book because I needed it. And because I believe everyone does.”
— YB Kua, Author of The 38 Cycles
“Months from now, you will wish you had started reading The 38 Cycles today. So start today”
Born From a Simple Belief:
Every Life Has a Pattern. Most People Never See It.
The 38 Cycles was created for one reason: to give every person — regardless of age, background, or where they are in life — the map they were never given. A map that shows not where to go, but how to understand the terrain they are already walking through.
It is priced at just $18 — less than $0.50 per cycle — deliberately. Because these lessons belong to everyone. Because the wisdom inside should not be locked behind expensive programmes or exclusive coaching. Because the return on this investment, for every person who reads it faithfully and acts on what they learn, will be a thousand times what they paid.
Why The 38 Cycles?
Everything you need to know before you begin upgrading your life — and every reason you will be glad you did.
What exactly is The 38 Cycles?
The 38 Cycles is a life-enriching guide to every major dimension of human life — written by YB Kua. It contains 38 honest, powerful reflections covering your inner world, your relationships, your achievements, and your daily life. Each cycle includes a short reflection, three deep questions to sit with, and one concrete action step you can take immediately.
It is not a textbook. It is not a self-help programme. It is a mirror — held up to wherever you are in life right now.
Why 38 cycles? Why not 10 or 20?
Because life is not simple, and a short list would not do it justice. After years of reflection and observation, YB Kua identified 38 distinct cycles that govern virtually every important dimension of being human — from mindset and faith to money and integrity. Each one is a complete lesson on its own. Together, they form the most comprehensive life-enriching guide to the human experience ever written in this format.
“Every cycle matters. Leave one out and you leave a gap in your understanding of yourself.”
How is this different from other self-help books?
Most self-help books give you a system — a 10-step programme, a framework, a method. The 38 Cycles gives you something more fundamental: understanding. When you understand the cycle you are in, you do not need a system. You know what to do. The book is also unusually honest — it does not pretend life is easy or that reading a book will fix everything. It asks hard questions and trusts you to sit with them.
No empty affirmations. No corporate frameworks. Just 38 cold, hard truths — told with warmth.
About the value
Why is it priced at only $18?
That was a deliberate decision by YB. At $18 — less than $0.50 per cycle — this book is accessible to anyone who wants it. The wisdom inside should not be locked behind expensive programmes or exclusive coaching. A single cup of coffee at a café costs more than two cycles of life-changing insight. The price is low. The value is not.
The return on this investment, for anyone who reads it faithfully and acts on what they learn, will be a thousand times what they paid.
What will I actually get from reading this book?
Four things, concretely. First, you will become richer — financially, spiritually, mentally, and professionally. Second, you will live longer and feel better, because clarity and purpose are proven to add years to a life. Third, you will build deeper, truer relationships — because you will finally understand the cycles that govern love, trust, and connection. And fourth, you will stop being blindsided by life’s difficulties — because you will recognise the pattern before the crisis arrives.
Fewer problems. More peace. Greater fulfilment. A life lived with intention — not by accident.
Is this book really worth $18?
Consider what $18 buys you elsewhere — a meal that is forgotten by morning, a streaming subscription for a month, a few minutes of parking in a city centre. Now consider what The 38 Cycles offers: 38 lessons you will return to for the rest of your life. Insights that will change how you handle money, how you love, how you lead, how you grieve, how you rest, and how you face every major season ahead of you. The question is not whether it is worth $18. The right question is whether any other $18 decision you make this week will come close.
Less than $0.50 per cycle. A one-time cost for a lifetime of clarity and wellbeing.
About Reading The 38 Cycles
How long does it take to read?
Each cycle takes approximately five to eight minutes to read. The full book can be read cover to cover in an afternoon — or one cycle per day across 38 days. Many readers find the second approach more powerful: one cycle, one reflection, one action step. Let each lesson settle before moving to the next. The book is designed to be returned to often — not consumed once and shelved.
Read slowly. Reflect honestly. Act consistently. That is the whole instruction.
Who is this book for?
Anyone who wants to live more intentionally. It resonates most strongly with adults between 18 and 50 who are navigating a major life transition — a new chapter, a loss, a relationship change, a career shift. But the cycles cover universal human experiences that are relevant at any age. If you are tired of surface-level content and want something that actually makes you think, this book was written for you.
If you are human and you are alive — you are in at least one of these 38 cycles right now.
