• Fortunes of Africa

    by Martin Meredith
    In this vast and vivid panorama of history, Martin Meredith, bestselling author of The State of Africa, follows the fortunes of Africa over a period of 5,000 years. With compelling narrative, he traces the rise and fall of ancient kingdoms and empires; the spread of Christianity and Islam; the enduring quest for gold and other riches; the exploits of explorers and missionaries; and the impact of European colonization. He examines, too, the fate of modern African states and concludes with a glimpse into their future.
    This is history on an epic scale.

  • Drunk

    by Jackson Biko


    It starts with a girl. Girls actually. Its only fair that it starts with a girl, no? Only problem is that most stories that start with a girl always end up with someone banging on the door saying; I just want to talk. This is not one of those stories.

    This one is about Larry.

    Mad Larry.

    He drinks.

    He shags girls.

    He hates his father.

    And he looks nothing like his step brother, who stays by his side throughout his madness. When Larry does something terrible, it looms over him, shaping his future, transforming all the relationships around him and hurtling him into a rabbit hole. Oh, and wheelbarrows are involved. Five of them. Somehow Larry and one of these wheelbarrows will collide and things will get pretty hairy – for Larry, that is, not for you, dear reader.

  • Atomic Habits: Easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones

    by James Clear

    In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.

    These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

  • The Havoc of Choice

    by Wanjiru Koinange


    Long held captive by her father’s shadow of corruption, Kavata has spent her life suffocated by political machinations. When her husband decides to run in the next election, these shadows threaten to consume her home. Unable to bear this darkness, Kavata plots to escape. As her family falls apart, so too does her country. In the wake of Kenya‘s post-election turmoil, Kavata and her family must find their way back to each other across a landscape of nation-wide confusion, desperation, and heart-rending loss.

    Koinange explores the long reach and effects of colonization and corruption within the context of a singular household and the disparate experiences of class and clan they encapsulate.

    “The Havoc of Choice is a delicate and deeply personal attempt to understand the root of this spontaneous yet organized conflict and to figure out what healing looks like for the people of Kenya”

  • How To Invest In The Stock Market

    by Peter Wambu

    Anyone can profit from trading or investing in the stock market. But that cannot happen by merely buying and selling shares without a STRATEGY. To succeed in stocks, you must consistently follow a strategy that has been proven to be profitable for most of the time over an appreciable period.
    There is, however, no one-size-suits-all strategy for profiting from stocks. Instead, there are many strategies because stock prices are influenced by many factors simultaneously or individually at different times. These factors could be economic events, business fundamentals, market dynamics, self-fulfilling prophecies, human emotions, sentiments, crowd psychology etc.
    The strategy you adopt or craft depends on which factor/s you believe to be the most critical in influencing price change because that is what you monitor to inform your buying and selling decisions. The factor/s you consider must be proven to have a historically consistent and statistically significant relationship with the stock price.
    Each person must find the strategy that fits with their beliefs about the market, their personality and their circumstances. No strategy is inherently superior to the other because all of them attempt to predict the future stock price about which no one, even the expert, is certain. A strategy is valid only as long as it brings profit.
    Ultimately, success in stocks depends on your ability to stick to and execute your strategy. This book expounds on some of the proven strategies used to make money in stocks.

  • Unplugged

    by Jacob Aliet


    Today, marriage rates are declining. Forty per cent of single black women in the US are single mothers who prioritize getting babies over getting in a stable long-term commitment, aka marriage. Why do many young girls today prefer becoming side chicks to high-value men rather than settling in marriage with an average man?

    In 2019, the American Psychological Association labelled traditional masculinity as harmful. But if so, why are women striving to be like men? What is the impact of masculine females on relationships? Why are women being told to “act like a lady and think like a man” if masculinity is harmful?

    What attracts women to men, and how can men maintain that attachment? In the age of social media, where women get free attention and validation from hundreds of men, how do men in long term relationships deal with partners who feel they have so many options?

    Women file for divorce 70-80% of the time in the western world. How can men navigate marriage with modern women incentivized to divorce by divorce laws? Why did the Greeks equate the feminine with chaos, represented as the goddess Pandora? Why are most oracles in epics female, and why did God tell Adam that his first sin was listening to Eve?

    On average, men’s handgrip strength, testosterone levels, and overall masculinity is declining, while women’s enrolment rates in universities have outstripped those of men. Among trans adults, the majority are men who say they were born female. Why? Why is masculinity on the decline?

    In 2021, before a whole school assembly at Brauer College in Victoria, Australia, the male students were all told to stand up, turn to a girl in their class and say sorry. Yet they had done nothing wrong. Based on Census Bureau historical data and Morgan Stanley forecasts, 45% of prime working-age women (ages 25-44) will be single by 2030—the largest share in history—up from 41% in 2018.

    This book traces the origin of the steady decline of the man’s role in the family. It also seeks to help men understand female nature, revitalize masculinity and build full-stack men who can navigate relationships while providing leadership in an increasingly gynocentric world that has largely silenced men.

     

    This book will plug you from comforting lies to cold hard truths.

  • The Psychology of Money

    by Morgan Housel


    DOING well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.

    Money investing, personal finance, and business decisions is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
