“People in Africa have a well-deserved reputation for being happy. This may explain why: there is no word in Swahili for "sarcasm" therefore Africans have no concept of saying something and having it mean a playfully snide version of the opposite.”

Just set up my Goodreads profile. My new book "Happy This Year" will be out in a few weeks and I've got several more projects in the works. Heading to Rome next week, then Taiwan, China and New York. Life is good. I enjoy meeting, learning from and helping others all over the world.
