    About this ebook

    Deep yet extremely practical.

    Fascinating, empowering, and easy to read. 

    Our Connected Village: Timeless Wisdom from the Shona carries you through life-transforming lessons drawn from Shona proverbs. The book includes real-life stories, thought-provoking illustrations and modern applications. It colourfully weaves together fully explained Shona proverbs whilst providing glimpses into Shona culture. It empowers readers by imprinting common sense principles for achieving sustainable success in many spheres of life.

    Proverbs have survived the mists of time. Their timeless relevance and universality demonstrate the connection of people across time and space. In Our Connected Village: Timeless Wisdom from the Shona, Iain Chitsidzo creatively makes this practical wisdom accessible in lively, enlightening, and informative ways. The proverbs are arranged under relevant thematic groups.  Connecting the Dots summaries at the end of each part tie together and illuminate ideas therein.
