  Purposeful Leadership for Africa...

  Leaders of the African liberation movements proclaimed ambitious objectives and promised swift dismantling of colonial policies and practices. It was believed that poverty and underdevelopment were consequences of the exploitative policies of the colonial masters, who had no interest in improving living conditions for local communities. Independence and freedom were anticipated to eradicate poverty, ignorance and disease, and the new leadership would accelerate economic development and prosperity.
  However, after more than 50 years of independence, most African countries are still poor and underdeveloped and this poses a few questions:
  Have African leaders abandoned their ambitions?
  Are African challenges more complex than in other regions?
  Has the political leadership failed to rise to the challenge?
  In his relentless pursuit of African excellence and development, Professor Lumkile Wiseman Nkuhlu offers profound insights and solutions to the challenges Africa has faced and continues to encounter. He wrestles with the vexing question of how a continent with such a rich history and heritage, as well as potential, remains an underperforming region of the world and offers insights into potential pathways and strategies for breaking free from the vicious cycle of underdevelopment.
  Africa can become the world's production powerhouse in the second half of this century, provided that intentional and purposeful leadership emerges. Purposeful Leadership for Africa in the 21st Century delves into the leadership strategies, qualities and policies needed for an African renewal, aiming to reposition the continent as a strategic and competitive global player.

  These are strange times.  A time of climate crises. Health crises. Collapsing systems. Influencers.  And yes - Jordan Peterson.We are currently living in a (Post) Peterson Paradigm. This book – 12 Rules for (Academic) Life - explores what has happened to teaching, learning and politics through this odd and chaotic time. Deploying feminism, this lens offers a glass-sharpened view of this moment in international higher education. It is organized through twelve mantras for a university sector searching for a purpose in this interregnum. A question of our time – through a climate emergency, a pandemic and polarized politics – is why Professor Jordan Peterson gained profile and notoriety. The Jordan Peterson moment commenced in September 2016 with his YouTube video, “Professor against political correctness,” and concluded with his debate with Slavoj Zizek on April 19, 2019. From this moment, his credibility was dented, if not destroyed.Jordan Peterson infused scholarly debates with Punch and Judy extremism and misunderstandings. Instead, this book offers research rather than certainty, interpretation rather than dogma, evidence rather than opinion, and theory rather than ‘moral truth.’ The goal is to recalibrate this (Post) Peterson Paradigm, to take stock of how this moment occurred, and how to create a revision of higher education.

  Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell is one of the most influential motivational speeches ever given, emphasizing that wealth, success, and opportunity are often closer than we realize. Originally delivered as a lecture over 6,000 times before being published in 1890, this classic work argues that anyone can find prosperity and fulfillment by recognizing and cultivating the opportunities in their own surroundings. 
  Through powerful storytelling and real-world examples, Conwell demonstrates that true riches—both material and spiritual—are not found in distant lands but right where we stand. Narrated by Nathan Edwards, this audiobook breathes new life into Conwell’s timeless wisdom, inspiring listeners to rethink their approach to success and self-improvement. 
  This enduring work remains a cornerstone of personal development literature, influencing countless entrepreneurs, business leaders, and success coaches. Acres of Diamonds is more than a lesson in wealth—it is a call to recognize and harness the potential that already exists in our lives.

  Godless Grace

  Is it possible to live a fulfilling life of gratitude, joy, and humility in a state of grace without religion and a belief in God?   
  A cold hard look at the human predicament of existence in this universe based on the empirical knowledge we have today, Godless Grace uses narrative and poetry to go where people fear to tread. Not an everlasting life in heaven, but a finite life, here and right now. Godless Grace seeks to examine and reinterpret life’s journey from an atheistic point of view to see a life full of possibility and ultimate meaning. 
  In Godless Grace by Michael Terence O’Brien, we experience the remarkable good fortune that this universe exists. That stars formed and brought forth live on this planet. That the cosmic lottery has given us, evolved for us, a brain capable of a consciousness to be aware of it all. We see how to enfold this awareness of presence into a constant source of wonder and exhilaration.
