How to Fix (unf*ck) a Country - Six things to reboot South Africa

Roy Havemann

Sinopse

After state capture, South Africa is f*cked not in a good place. The system is down. How do we reboot?

Our is not the first country to find itself in a difficult spot. China, India, South Korea, Vietnam and many others have gone from being economic basket cases to powerhouses, lifting millions out of poverty. So how can we pick ourselves up and fix things? In this book, Roy Havemann argues that right now we need to focus on six basic 'E's: Eskom, Education, Environment, Exports, Equality, and Ethics.

Havemann lays out how we can practically bring in lessons from other countries and learn from their achievements and mistakes, for example, how China, Greece and Colombia solved load-shedding, how different South American countries are dealing with inequality and how Brazil and Kenya are upgrading their education systems.
He shows that we are slowly moving in the right direction. Our own 'Operation Vulindlela' delivery unit, which is a joint initiative of the Presidency and the Treasury, is implementing change where it's needed but more can be done to accelerate reforms to make South Africa a success. Sometimes the solutions to our problems are right here in our very own country – all that is needed is for us to recognise and harness them.

The Compass and The Coin - A...

Luis Miletti JR

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
The Compass and the Coin is not another financial advice book. It is a beautifully told parable about the real questions that linger beneath spreadsheets, retirement calculators, and all the sensible advice in the world: Have I done enough? Is this really what I’ve been working toward? And why, after years of discipline, does peace still feel so far away?
Mark and Dana Whitmore did everything right. They built careers, raised a family, checked every box their generation was taught to believe would lead to security. Yet as retirement approaches, they find themselves quietly lost—adrift in the complexity of their own success. More than once, they ask each other: Is this all there is?
Their answer comes not from a new financial product or strategy, but from an unexpected guide known as the Navigator. Through a series of quietly profound encounters, the Navigator invites them to see their wealth not as an end, but as a means—a vehicle that can only serve them if it is pointed toward what matters most. He offers them two tools: a compass, to rediscover their direction, and a coin, to remind them that every choice carries meaning.
What follows is a story that feels less like a lesson and more like a homecoming. Mark and Dana journey through uncertainty, regret, and finally, clarity—not just about money, but about what they truly value. Along the way, they confront the emotional scars left by past decisions, learn to name the biases that cloud their judgment, and discover that security is not found in accumulation, but in alignment.
The Compass and the Coin is both parable and playbook. The first half draws you in with storytelling as warm and wise as The Alchemist or The Go-Giver. The second half, “The North Star Principle,” offers readers a deeply practical, values-based framework for transforming their own financial journey—one rooted in clarity, simplification, purpose, and emotional intelligence.

Lost in Work - Escaping Capitalism

Amelia Horgan

***Evening Standard's best non-fiction 2021*** 
 
'A brilliant, searing exposé of the lies underpinning work' - Owen Jones 
 
'Work hard, get paid.' It's simple. Self-evident. But it's also a lie—at least for most of us. For people today, the old assumptions are crumbling; hard work in school no longer guarantees a secure, well-paying job in the future. Far from a gateway to riches and fulfilment, 'work' means precarity, anxiety and alienation. 
 
In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by award-winning actor Libby Mai, Amelia Horgan poses three big questions: what is work? How does it harm us? And what can we do about it? While abolishing work altogether is not the answer, Lost in Work shows that when we are able to take control of our workplaces, we become less miserable, and can work towards the transformative goal of experimenting with 'work' as we know it. 
Whether you listen on your commute, or while working from home, Lost in Work will empower you to see beyond the systematic problems you face at your job.
