Diary of a Taxi Driver eBook Mingjie Cai

When Dr. Cai Mingjie, a lifelong scientist and university professor, lost his job at a leading research institute in Singapore, his world collapsed around him. Despite having published numerous papers and a Stanford PhD, he could not find a suitable job.
Disheartened by the global financial crisis, he became a taxi driver, the Singaporean job of last resort. While driving a cab he jotted down notes about his experiences and posted them on his blog, quickly becoming an internet celebrity with close to one million hits so far.
Experience the real Singapore and join Dr. Cai as he recounts true stories about naïve prostitutes and lecherous johns, abusive customers and kind strangers, violent drivers and heart-wrenching encounters.

Diary of a Taxi Driver eBook Mingjie Cai Reviews
As a hedge fund manager in the Asia Pacific region but based in Hong Kong, I have frequent stopovers at the Singapore Changi Airport. I spotted this book and find it an amazing read. The hidden message of this book is quite simple Don't Give Up! Good job, Dr. Cai!
Although Dr Cai lost his job as a professor, he gained great life wisdom when he became a taxi driver. In this book, he shares these wisdom through real life stories.
A series of very amusing experiences.
I have met the author in person once, because of our Stanford connection. He has since moved on and become CEO of a biotech firm in China, no longer a taxi driver. His observation of the society from the view of a highly educated person is interesting.
Very good book. It opened my eyes to the reality of academia in particular, and of the world in general.
Highly, highly recommended. Loved it!
God bless.
