Anansi's Gold is a non-fiction masterpiece that tells the story of Ghanaian con artist John Ackah Blay-Miezah, who swindled millions of dollars from thousands of believers. After Ghana gained independence in 1957, a CIA-funded military junta falsely accused Nkrumah of hiding Ghana's gold overseas. Blay-Miezah and his accomplices deceived Philadelphia lawyers, London financiers, and Seoul businessmen, earning him the title of one of the most fascinating and lucrative scams in modern history. Yepoka Yeebo follows Blay-Miezah's trail and uncovers the truth about Ghana's missing wealth, revealing how history writes itself into being through one lie at a time.

    In Silence: The Psychology and the Craft for Emotional Wellbeing, the author―a psychotherapist, university professor, educator, and researcher―takes the listener into a thought-provoking and heartfelt journey. She offers original perspectives and vulnerable stories from her clients, students, and personal life. Drawing on, among others, ethnographic and autoethnographic accounts, Lehmann serves the listener with psychological insights, offering a timely, critical, and thorough viewpoint to contrast with an overload of misinformation about what silence is and how people should feel when quiet. The listener will be challenged to aspire to balance when communicating or connecting with themselves, with others, with nature, or with art, or, for some, as part of a spiritual path. Whether in nature, at work meetings, on the road, in a classroom, in the therapy room, or at the dinner table, silences appear as coordinates, and this book is the missing map for surviving and thriving when navigating toward well-being.
