    About this series

    The stories in this book are based on a fundamental belief Susan, my wife, and I have that every experience we go through is what gives life its true meaning. Indeed, some of the unpleasant experiences just add more flavor to life. Having a nice laugh about something is the magic trick in many cases.

    Life takes a new meaning and purpose if one adorns positive lenses to perceive every situation. We hope the reader will reach the same conclusion.

    All stories in the book are linked to our passion for spending time in the beautiful countryside in Kenya. And more so, engaging in one form of small-scale farming or another. There is something magical about it. Something that never ceases to nourish our souls.

      Shamba Shenanigans is a collection of riveting true-life experiences. Some of the stories are hilarious; others are thought-provoking, while others are likely to evoke other different types of emotions as the story unfolds. A common thread across all the stories is that each experience contains one or more valuable life lessons.

      A collection of true stories that revolve around our continuous search for “more.” And while this trait is essential for the long-term sustainability of humanity, John Mucai suggests that we must always strive to appropriately calibrate our desires. And more importantly, adopt a problem-solving mindset in our never-ending quest for “more.”

      5/5 - 1 rating

      This book is a chronicle of a personal search for spiritual enlightenment. John Mucai starts by finding out what religion means. He then looks at the different religions in the world today and zeros in on four major ones: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The followers of these four religions account for approximately 80% of the world’s population. He looks at their beliefs, practices, and sacred texts. While the book would be of immense interest to theologians, it is not a book on theology. Instead, it is an attempt by the author to seek spiritual enlightenment by sifting through religious literature. The author’s findings are illuminating. Every reader will find something of value in the book to give their life a better meaning.

      Have you ever attended a strategy meeting and wondered whether everyone in the forum understood what strategy meant? If you have, you are not alone. Interestingly, many such meetings roll on smoothly with impressive outcomes. That phenomenon is the ninth wonder of the world. Some participants probably spend many hours after the meeting engrossed in self-doubt or guilt, depending upon how loudly they spoke during the session. A cold or hot beverage usually works wonders during such moments of self-reflection. If you are one of those who experience self-doubt but usually emerge from strategy discussions with your conscience intact, you must count your blessings. You are a brave survivor. But whatever category you belong to, you have the cure for strategy-fuzziness right at your fingertips. Stratagem describes strategy with exceptional lucidity. Well-thought-out strategies are not only essential for business success; they are critical for success in personal life.

      Out of the more than seven billion people who inhabit the earth, no two are exactly the same. Even tweens have differences. And yet, the behavior of human beings can be reduced to a few archetypes. At the heart of the matter, each human being is one single entity comprised of a mind and a physical body. A mind that yearns for happiness and a body that longs for sustenance. The interplay of these two needs creates the different archetypes of humans. This book explores a few of the archetypes. It discusses how the ideas around archetypes converge to offer a new perspective on fundamental questions that existentialists have been grappling with for ages. The people described in the second chapter of the book are entirely fictitious. Any resemblance of their names to real people is purely coincidental. However, the characters are real and live among us. You may recognize some of them in your local community, your network of friends, or even in other human networks to which you are directly or indirectly connected.
