You've heard much in recent years about positive thinking. Out of the recessions and lean years another term has been born "prosperous thinking." The word "prosper" means "to flourish, succeed, thrive, to experience favorable results." This book plainly shows how prosperous thinking has helped people in every walk of life to experience these results. Furthermore, it shows how prosperous thinking can do these things for you, too! As you read this book, chapter by chapter, you will automatically begin to develop the power of prosperous thinking, and, almost as easily, you will begin to reap a harvest of prosperous results.

Dit is nie noodwendig maklik om bly te wees nie – maar Johannes de Villiers wys hoe dit ’n haalbare doel is vir enigiemand. Vind in hierdie boek ’n omvattende blik op lewensvreugde; alles van teorieë oor wat presies blydskap behels tot praktiese wenke om dit te bereik, met inligting van spiritueles sowel as sielkundiges. Ware verhale staaf sy voorstelle, soos dié van die man wie se pad na blydskap begin het toe Geheime Polisie hom skiet.

When we learn from each other, that’s when we learn more about ourselves.

With a radio career spanning more than three decades, Thabo “T-Bose” Mokwele brings topics to the airwaves that challenge and invoke human introspection and dialogue with his audience. And through this he has learned a lot about life and its nuances. Pause is a collection of Thabo’s observations, reflections and learnings about what life is about. Simply put, this is the book he wishes he had read before starting his adult life journey.

Pause is a compilation of Thabo’s pearls of wisdom and lessons about life, God, money, relationships, parenting and, most importantly, self-mastery. His knowledge has been acquired by reading other philosophers’ views on life and love, from interviewing entrepreneurs and entertainers about self-sufficiency, and preachers and teachers about self-mastery. This, you may say, is his ‘bible’; to drive his life, and a lens through which he views his existence.

Thabo shares what he knows, what he practises and what still challenges him. It’s a book that everyone, from teens to adults, should read for a glimpse, and as a guide, to living a life that is meaningful.

We learn from our mistakes, but some mistakes are costly and should never be repeated. And if reading a short chapter on a particular topic can help mould a young person’s life, or assist an adult to self-correct, then Pause is a must-read.
