This book challenges the notion that success is measured in how much wealth you can acquire and pass on in a lifetime; it challenges many conventional ideas thrown at people of the West on the television and internet, those things they have learnt in school, read in books, and told by parents about success. With several examples and anecdotes, the book shows that African village settings contain lots of wisdom and progressive prescriptions on how people should lead their lives and achieve success without necessarily injuring themselves, the society, or the earth, for that matter. These wisdoms are found in values that have helped Africans lead a simple, yet very rich life over centuries.Values such as respect for elders, appreciation of community life and hospitality; tenets that would help Western society cool down and have a rethink on how they are destroying themselves and children yet unborn.It’s a classic book that mixes business ideas with philosophy, history, political science, and a lot of wisdom, aimed at correcting the anomalies that are threatening to tear down the ideals on which Western society is built on.Written in a simple manner that appeals to all strata of people; whether in Australia, Canada, USA, Europe, or other such countries where capitalism and consumerism has taken a hold of their everyday lives, blinding them from things that really matters.A must read for every business executive, family, and young people, alike!
