Preface
Winston Wu is founder of Happier Abroad and SCEPCOP, two unique movements that are the first of their kind and very much needed. He has been featured on radio shows, magazines, websites and even television news. Mr. Wu has been described by some as among the most atypical and unique Asian males on the planet, for almost everything he says, thinks and does is "outside the box". Some consider him a hero and inspiration, while others consider him a dysfunctional loser for not conforming to the system. Here is his biography in his own words about how he emerged from a turbulent hellish childhood to a transcended state of mind and life that serves as an inspiration to others.
Biography
Hello, my
name is Winston. I
am a Journalist, Writer, Actor, Traveler,
Photographer, and Marketer. I
consider
myself to be a Renaissance man, freespirit, Existentialist,
free-thinker,
nonconformist, philosopher, writer, actor, seeker, adventurer,
spiritualist, an
old soul, and lover. As
a result, I
connect with and prefer the company of open-minded, nonjudgmental,
free-spirited people who are intellectual and spiritually-attuned to
some
degree. And I
dislike and get along
least well with judgmental and closed/narrow minded people who have
rigid
beliefs about how things and people “ought” to be,
for those are my pet
peeves.
I am an
Asian American of Taiwanese
descent. But I am
unlike the typical
type which is career-minded, conformist, duty-driven, closed-minded,
judgmental, materialistic, money-loving, petty, mathematical rigid
thinking,
and unable to think “outside the box”. (In fact, a
Scotsman I met named Peter
who has been to nearly a hundred countries in his life, described me as
“probably the
most atypical Asian male” he had ever met.)
(You can also view my
critique of
repressive traditional Asian mentality here)
Unlike most Asians who simply follow
the pack and don't think for themselves, I do.
Whereas most of them are rigid conformists, I am a
freethinker and freespirit, which sometimes makes other Asians
uncomfortable around me and avoid me. Also, they believe that
the purpose of life is to work hard and suffer in glory and honor,
while I believe that the purpose of life is to enjoy it and live to the
fullest. Thus, me and typical Asians have some intrinsic
differences.
As an
eclectic, I am a blend of Italian/French-like
traits. Though I am
wild, passionate,
free-spirited, sensual, romantic, and feeling, I am also intellectual,
shrewd,
insightful, cerebral, organized, and practical as well.
Such a blend makes me more like a European or
Latin than American or Asian, as I tend to have far more common with
the former
than with the latter.
I am
an Existentialist type of person who delights in reflection,
introspection,
asking big questions about the meaning of life, and trying to put it
all
together. Therefore,
I don’t have the typical
American/Asian view that life is all about making money and being
committed to
a career. Instead,
I share the
European/Australian attitude that life is about having new experiences
and
adventures, exploring the world and meeting lots of new people. And I judge my life and
self-worth by the
richness of my experiences, rather than by career status.
That’s who I am,
not a conformist to what the
establishment tells me.
In
my experience, I tend to get along best and naturally with
travelers, free-spirits, New Age people, mystics, actors, writers, and
Europeans/foreigners. I have a natural comfort zone and
synergy with
those types and find them to be more wholesome and complete. My vibe, consciousness,
and
soul energy seem to vibrate at a much more similar frequency with
theirs,
leading to a stronger sense of a more kindred spirit. On the
other hand,
I don't seem to connect or jive with the types of people who frequent
nightclubs or bars a lot, nor with the mainstream all-American
valley/hipster
types. Their vibe and consciousness seem to vibrate at a
different
frequency than mine, and their communication style seems plastic to me,
and
doesn't fit my communication style.
So
it feels awkward and unnatural trying to relate or interact with them,
like we
have very little to talk about, making them seem unapproachable to me. I don't know why, but this
pattern seems
consistent.
I
enjoy writing, acting, theatre, meeting people, traveling,
European culture/travel, photography, tennis, billiards, ping pong,
swimming,
martial arts, hiking, coin-collecting, chess, scrabble,
history, History
Channel, Travel Channel, PBS, British comedy, museums, science-fiction,
cooking, cultural events, 80's pop music, watching Twilight
Zone reruns,
vegetarian food, metaphysics, exploring mysticism, New Age
spirituality,
philosophy, paranormal phenomena, and just living life to the fullest.
I enjoy
all styles of music except country, rap, and heavy metal. I am a
vegetarian and
my favorite foods are Chinese, Italian, and Vegetarian cuisine.
I
think that most of the stuff on TV today is trash, and I
never watch network programming. The
only channels I watch are History Channel, Travel
Channel, PBS, AMC, and
sometimes BBC (British programming).
My sun
sign is Pisces with Scorpio rising
and Gemini moon (for those who don’t know, the rising
influences your outer
personality and the moon sign influences your inner self and emotions). And my Meyer-Briggs
temperament type
is ENFJ. My favorite movie is The Empire
Strikes Back. And
my favorite books, which I consider the
most profound and life-changing, are The
Power of Now and A
New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by
Eckhart Tolle, Way
of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, any book or audio by Wayne Dyer, The
Holographic Universe by
Michael Talbot, and Under
the Tree by Greg Stone.
I’ve
lived in four
Since my
early days, I’ve shown a propensity to go “against
the grain” and think on my own. For instance, during school, when
all the other students
judged their
achievements by their grades (especially Asian students), I choose not
to attach my self-worth to my grades and saw no logical reason
to. Just because society, the school, or my parents told me
to
was not a good enough reason to convince me that grades determined my
achievement and self-worth. I had a far deeper sense of self
beyond the shallowness of academic scores. Thus, when I got
bad
grades, even D’s and F’s, they never really
affected
me. I also deviated from my parents’ Buddhist
religion at
an early age, becoming a born again Christian instead, unlike most
people who stick with the religion of their family their whole
life. When I was 14, I won a debate against my Youth Pastor, Ross
Gunn III, over
Bible doctrine, which unsettled him and demonstrated my ability to
think for myself at an
early age.
Turbulent
and conflicting beginnings
(Note: You
can read a more
comprehensive version of my childhood here)
Born in
An only
child, I grew up in the California
Bay Area suburbs in the 80’s.
During
Kindergarten and First Grade in
You

and early childhood photos up to 2nd grade here.
But upon
moving to
Due to my
passion for life, desire to connect
with others, love and be loved, I was unable to accept this condition
and
strived against all odds. To
cope from
being alienated by the “mainstream norm” of the
adolescent crowd, I resorted to
intellectual pursuits and cultivated a rich inner life.
Having a natural feel for deep thinking and
analyzing at an early age, I was a chess champion who rarely lost a
game. And with a
knack for spelling and grammar, I
won my class spelling bee in 6th grade.
Religious
fervor and mental breakdown
Eventually,
my search for meaning led to
becoming a devout born-again Christian fundamentalist, where I found
solace, a
sense of hope and purpose. It
gave me
the power and reason to make sense out of my troubled and conflicting
childhood, as well as my unjust persecution by my peers (i.e.
“glory in the
persecution of the saved by the world”).
Impassioned with fervor, I became involved with Church
youth groups and
even planned to go into the Evangelical ministry.
After a few years, despite my fervor and
dedication, my life suddenly went through a series mishaps and
misfortunes,
which led me to collapse into depression and insanity.
This in turn served as a catalyst, unleashing
some sort of weird obsessive/compulsive anxiety control routine in me,
which
the establishment dubbed as a “mental disorder” at
the time. Whatever
it was, it put me in an “inner hell”
beyond my control and incapacitated me, growing worse daily with no
solution or
support in sight. I
was given medication
by mental health professionals, but they did nothing but give me bad
side
effects. Though
seemingly doomed by pain
and incapacitation for the rest of my life, my will to live endured and
kept me
alive. My
stubbornness and willpower
refused to succumb to my dire circumstances which seemed to warrant
suicide.
After
being taken out of the persecution of
high school where I was unable to function or study anymore (and where
my ego
and psychic shield were constantly being attacked by energy leeches), I
spent a
few weeks in a nice rehabilitation center and went on home schooling. When the year was over, I
spent a year in
Rebirth:
A
new Winston emerges out of the ashes
When I
returned to the states, I was like a
new man; reborn, filled with an insatiable desire and talent for
expressing
myself. Suddenly,
asserting myself came
naturally. I
possessed an ability to
write and communicate articulately that I never had before, which
seemed to
come from nowhere. It
was like I was
suddenly filled with this “energy” inside me that
needed to express itself. In
addition, I possessed an inner confidence,
strength and optimism that few my age had.
And I was also blessed with an ability to appreciate the
beauty and
richness of the little wonders of life, which few have (something that
those
who lose their minds and return to sanity again seem to cultivate).
You can
read the turbulent but inspiring
story I wrote about my deconversion from Christian fundamentalism in my
article My
Rise to Christianity and Transcendence
From It.
A
major paradigm shift into metaphysical views
All this
led to a major paradigm shift
which expanded my view of reality.
The
victory over insanity, persecution, and doom gave me the strength and
inspiration to conquer my problems and put me on a path of discovery
which gave
me the interests I have today. My
spiritual quest moved away from orthodox religion into a search for a
“unified
theory” which explained and accounted for all religious and
supernatural
phenomena. This led
me into New Age and
metaphysical realms.
During my
post-deconversion research, I
also discovered that the Christian fundamentalist infallible doctrines
I
preached before were not what they claimed to be. You
can read a book I wrote detailing
the research and discoveries I made during my search, entitled Debunking Christian Circular Arguments and Assumptions which addresses major arguments made
by Christian
Evangelists and Apologists such as
Josh McDowell and C.S. Lewis, filled with scholarly citations and
quotations.
Post-graduation
life and first relationships
After
finishing my last year of high
school, I went to a community college and met my first girlfriend, a
cute
petite Vietnamese Accounting student named Phuong Nguyen (aka Emmie Nguyen).
But after
two years together, we split due
to irreconcilable differences and incompatibility, but remained friends. (i.e. I was open-minded,
expressive,
imaginative, free-thinking and free-spirited, while she was judgmental,
materialistic, and closed-minded.)
Gradually, I realized and discovered that my soul and
destiny were not
fit for a conventional business career or the corporate culture, but
wasn’t
sure what the alternatives were. I
found
that I was too much of a “free spirit” and a fish
out of water in their
materialistic and conformist mentality.
My best talents and self seemed to lie in more creative
pursuits. Therefore,
I began to pursue acting in
addition to a business degree, got involved in theatrical and film
productions
at school, and worked in a few professional film productions (movies,
TV
series, commercials, and corporate videos) through casting/talent
agencies as
well. My acting
resume and business reume can be viewed from my About Me page.
A few
years later, I graduated from
California State University Hayward with a business degree in Marketing and Computer Information Systems.
Then I moved to
We lived
a nice life together of balance
and stability for two and a half years, and even got engaged to be
married. However,
unfortunately the
relationship forced me to live in an area of the state with little
career
opportunity, so I was forced to take a string of meaningless dead-end
jobs to
pay the bills. Eventually,
we grew apart
and discovered that we wanted different things in life.
The passion, chemistry, and energy between us
was also gone, and we both yearned to be free.
The split threw me into another state of psychological
trauma for the
second time in my life, since I had always been a hopeless romantic,
and a
believer in old-fashioned love, sticking through thick and thin.
My
writing accomplishments lead to recognition and fame in Parapsychology
community
To cope,
I immersed myself with my passions
and spiritual pursuits to an even greater degree. During
this time, I produced an acclaimed treatise and book (by the
parapsychological
community) that was the first of its kind - Debunking
PseudoSkeptical Arguments of Paranormal Debunkers.
It was
an extensive point-by-point scholarly debunking of the arguments of
pseudo-skeptics (e.g. James Randi, Michael Shermer, CSICOP, etc.) which
was the first of its
kind. Many
paranormal enthusiasts
considered it to be the “Gospel” against
pseudo-skepticism.
This work
gave me notoriety among the
metaphysical community and was endorsed by top parapsychology
researchers and
authors. See
their praises and quotes here. You can
read reviews,
endorsements, commentaries, references, citations, and criticisms
about this
noteworthy
work of mine in my Articles
About Me section.
When
this treatise was first released, it was acclaimed in the paranormal
community as brilliant, effective and the first of its kind. It led
to my appearance on several radio shows such as The Forbidden
Truth
by Michael Goodspeed, The Clyde Lewis Show (KOTK 1080
AM) in Portland, Oregon,
and Ghostly Talk Radio (you can listen to
my interviews here). Later, due to widespread recognition, I
was invited to an
international conference as a guest speaker at the Mysteries of the World theme
park in
Years
later in 2009, I formed a group and website called SCEPCOP – Scientific
Committee
to Evaluate Pseudoskeptical Criticism of the Paranormal, which was
the world’s
first organized counter-skeptic group created to counter CSICOP, JREF,
etc. Although at this time SCEPCOP is in
its infancy, its popularity has soared among the Paranormal community
and
received attention from the Skeptic camp as well. (See
a list of websites and blogs announcing SCEPCOP here) And in
August of 2009, the popular paranormal magazine Atlantis
Rising did an article on
SCEPCOP in issue 77, which you can download
here in
PDF format. (see pages 24, 26 and 61)
Though
well read in paranormal studies, I
did not limit my knowledge solely to books, but also participated in
interactive activities such as organized ghost hunts which gave me
fascinating
first-hand experiences of such phenomenon.
As a
critical thinker who hates
brainwashing techniques as a result of having been brainwashed a few
times
myself, I also wrote against scams and shady business practices such as
extended warranties and multi-level marketing. See a list of
them here.
I have
also written articles published in
various hard copy publications, such as

famous
paranormal debunker, James Randi who is offering a controversial
million dollar psychic challenge to
anyone who
can demonstrate supernatural abilities under controlled conditions
(details on
his site). There, I
stayed with Benneth
for a while and then got my own place.

finding a wife or a serious
partner was not as easy as I thought, nor was it as simple as the
marriage
agencies portrayed in their advertising.
However, I had the best time of my life.
I had many adventures and experiences which I otherwise
would never have
had. Some of them
were comical, while
others were downright dangerous (and thank goodness for my Guardian
Angels and
Spirit Protectors). Many
of my
experiences and stories were comparable (or even better) than the drama
in
movies. In
particular, the experiences I
had with con-artists, criminals and scammers, and their elaborate
plots, were
like grand black comedies. And
I was
able to easily form social connections whenever I wanted, since I
discovered
that the world outside the
Abroad, I
was able to get the things I
wanted and lacked in my adolescent teenage years that I never had -
being
popular, having fame, attention, an active dating life, partying, and
being
able to attract and get beautiful women easily whenever I wanted. And I experienced more
deeply and
dramatically the triumphs, glories, and heartbreaks of love. Thus, pretty much all my
teenage dreams
finally came true, as a result of these extreme and unorthodox ventures. I was even engaged to be
married twice during
my trips. One of my fiancées, Katya Buchkina, was super hot and
looked like the girl of
my dreams, but she turned out to be nothing but a conniving gold digger
and
user:
My second
fiancée was nice, we just weren’t
compatible physically, mentally, or chemistry-wise.
But most
importantly though, I got the high
stimulation in daily life I craved and was deprived of in the states. So much in fact, that it
became emotionally
draining, and led me to realize that I ought to be pursuing more
spiritual and
wholesome ventures, instead of a neverending circle of hedonism.
One claim
of the internet marriage agencies
that is true though, which I can easily attest to, is that the quality
of women
in
Each time
I left and came back home though,
I’d feel flat and experience withdrawal symptoms, as my
experiences, status,
and the “vibe” there became an addiction for me. So I’d work some
temp jobs to save up money
for my next trip and return back again.
During the time between my second and third trips, I met a
local girl at
a New Age church in my town who quickly became one of my best friends
ever,
Amber LaMond.
We had an
instant connection, as though we
had known each other for years. In
addition to the interest in New Age spirituality, we also shared a love
of
traveling. In fact,
she became enamored and
envious about my journeys abroad (especially since she also viewed
normal life
in the states as a “rut” too).
In
essence, I was like a “gateway portal” to the
“worlds beyond”
With my
will and resourcefulness, in
During my
trips, I began and gradually
expanded on, a long point-by-point treatise comparing why I liked the
culture,
environment, and social scene of Russia/Europe more than America, which
eventually became an ebook
entitled Happier
Abroad: Why You Will Have A Better
Love and Life Beyond America. It also contains
articles and essays such as Propaganda
vs. Real Life in America
and The
Industrial Culture and Automaton Populace of America which you can
find in my Article Index.
Although
I believe in the American ideals
of freedom and democracy, I am opposed to its materialistic and
conformist
lifestyle and culture which constantly equates outward materialistic
wants with
happiness, depriving people of a rich inner life, inward happiness, and
a
foundation of inner strength and confidence.
I believe that this lack of inner self common amongst many
Americans is
a major cause in the following problems:
1) The high rate of mental illness, insanity, obesity, and
dysfunctional
behavior in America, 2) overly fragile egos and low self-esteem which
is easily
offended, and 3) the propensity to become bored and lonely so easily,
requiring
constant consumption stimulation and distractions to avoid facing inner
emptiness. These
issues are expounded
upon in my counter-culture essays above.
My
international online following begins and grows
During
these journeys I started writing
journal updates to a group of fans and interested onlookers which grew
from a
few dozen to nearly a thousand, with readers from all over the world. Soon I started receiving
regular fan mail
from those who read about my adventures and looked through my Photojournals. And I was
being discussed on
internet forums, where I quickly became the center of attention and
controversy. Some
found my writing too
brutally honest and open, making me an easy target for attacks from
critics and
armchair quarterbacks, while others found them informative and
engaging, as
though they were watching some sort of “Reality
TV”, which made them feel like
they were experiencing everything there with me.
(You can download
these journals here, view thousands
of photos here, or read
a synopsis of
them here.)
You can
view a collection
of feedback
letters from my supporters and fans here. There
you will see
hundreds of intelligent,
insightful, genuine letters from those who've “seen the
light.”
Later on,
some anonymous fans even put
together a music video of me and my adventures called "Shiny Toy
Winstons", composed of clips
from my video
footage. You can see it on this video page.

I concluded that Russian women
probably aren’t for me.

as
stingy, taking, opportunistic, ungiving, stubborn, conscienceless,
manipulative, deceptive, changeable, and hypocritical, all in extreme
degrees. In

conflicts exist between my mentality and theirs.

But
according to advice from friends, my
better prospects lie in the Eastern Russian regions and former Soviet
Republics
such as Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, Krygyzstan, etc. which are far more
Asianized
and accepting of my race, and have women who with better values. Other great choices I
heard include

also say that whatever the results

I've
also come to realize that I've derived some meditational benefits from
my
trips. You see, one of the primary purposes of meditation is
to reduce
the mind's attachments - such as clinging to pleasure/assets and
resisting
pain/undesirable conditions. But my restless nature and ADD
symptoms
prevent me from practicing regular meditation. However, I've
achieved
similar results. With all the constant traveling I did, I
constantly
detached from the people and environment around me, to the point where
it
became a habit, like second nature. With all that practice in
detachment,
I am almost able to detach my mind and emotions at will, a benefit
similar to
that achieved in meditation. But of course, the other aspect
of
meditation of attaining a still mind, eludes me, as I am basically
still a
restless and wandering spirit, thriving on novelty and new
people/experiences,
rather than stable routines.
Last but
not least, I gained valuable
career experience in professional Journalism which I wouldn’t
have been able to
get in the
In
addition, I believe that I‘ve also discovered the secret to
happiness. I've become aware that external things or people
do not
directly cause "happiness", they merely trigger the biochemicals
inside us that make us feel that way. What I've discovered is
that we can
learn to trigger these biochemicals that make us happy at will, through
training, practice, and awareness meditation. One merely has
to realign
the biochemical reactions inside us, reprogramming them to respond
differently and breaking old cycles and addictions.
It would take
some time of course, but it's possible. And I've already had
a lot of
practice, as I've managed to keep myself happy in that way through
thick and
thin, even through disappointment and disaster. Thus,
it’s led me one
step closer to self-mastery. And as the ancient undefeated
Chinese
general Sun Tzu said, "The one who conquers a thousand nations is not
as
great as the one who conquers himself."
My
post-trip crossroads
After my
Europe/Russia trips, I was at a
crossroads. My
choices are to either 1)
return to Europe to travel and work, since my expressive nature fell in
love
and felt at one with its culture and social environment, 2) follow my
dream
years ago of going to Hollywood to pursue an acting career, 3) move to
the
Southwest part of America where the beautiful desert terrain and
canyons have a
very invigorating spiritual and social energy, or 4) begin pursuing
some type
of Journalism or mass media career, the niche I discovered in myself
while in
Russia.

At this point, my site is growing in popularity and expanding daily. As my readership grows, I am getting more and more Fan Letters and Testimonials of changed lives and heightened awareness. See these quotes. Some have even declared me as:
