About this ebook
The author surrounds personal tales with reflections on finding happiness within oneself, including truisms from thinkers like Woodsworth and Gandhi. Mpouma has a lot to say about his life, which has been one of never fitting in. Things took a harsh turn when he was two years old and his father, a candidate for public office in Cameroon, was assassinated. Growing up amid the resulting family turmoil, Mpouma was frequently getting into trouble at home and at school. He bounced around from the homes of his mother, brothers, and foster father, and never felt wanted.
During this time, he sensed a connection with his deceased grandfather, known as Oboss, the one who messes things up. Mpouma was comforted and inspired by the memory of his outspoken grandfather and his honesty in family or village meetings. In his twenties, Mpouma won the familys approval by getting married and working at the bank. But his heart wasnt in the marriage, and after he got divorced, that approval disappeared. Mpouma joined Soka Gakkai International (SGI), a Buddhist organization that promotes world peace via achieving personal inner peace.

Salomon Alain Mpouma
He is an ordinary person who didn't grow up with a dad figure; his dad was killed when he was two years hold and half during a political campaign for the emancipation of Cameroon where he was born. Thus, he managed to rely on his own mind from the very young age which made him very critical in many things in life and also very vocal about education, social issues and religious teachings. After college he started working in the Government, then at the bank where he left in 1992 to come to America. When he looks back, he is not surprised today why and how was able to write a book titled "World Peace." Because during all these years of experiences not only he was not fitting in, in all groups, but also he had never stopped asking himself many questions about life in general, and finding answers from his own seeking mind, for most of the time, he was not satisfied with answers of the people in his surroundings.
