Fan Deng

Founder & Chief Content Officer of Fandeng Reading · Visiting Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University · former CCTV host

Fan Deng is the founder and Chief Content Officer of Fandeng Reading (帆书, formerly 樊登读书), a visiting professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University, and a former host at China Central Television (CCTV). For over a decade, his book-talk format has helped tens of millions of Chinese readers rediscover reading and build a lifelong learning habit.

From the Analects to management, from parenting to low-risk entrepreneurship, he unpacks one great book at a time — and hands you the thinking behind it. His books include “How to Read a Book” and “Low-Risk Entrepreneurship.”

This September he comes to Canada, meeting Chinese-speaking audiences across three cities — one keynote, one evening of ideas.
