Omschrijving

Foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Mungi Ngomane, granddaughter of Nobel Peace Prize-winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, offers an introduction to ubuntu, the Southern African philosophy that celebrates the universal human bond in this beautiful definitive guide, illustrated with full-color photos and filled with lessons on how to live harmoniously with all people.

"This book will open your eyes, mind and heart to a way of being in the world that will make our world a better and more caring one."--Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Ubuntu is a Xhosa word originating from a South African philosophy that encapsulates all our aspirations about how to live life well, together. It is the belief in a universal human bond and deep human connection: I am only because you are. And it means that if you are able to see everyone as fully human, connected to you by their humanity, you will never be able to treat others as disposable or without worth. By embracing the philosophy of ubuntu and living it out in daily life it's possible to overcome division and be stronger together in a world where the wise build bridges, not walls.

These 14 lessons from the Rainbow Nation are an essential toolkit to helping us all to live better, together. In stories that recognize our common humanity, our connectedness and interdependence, Everyday Ubuntu helps to make sense of the world and our place in it. Exploring ideas of kindness, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance and the power of listening, it shows how we can all benefit from embracing others. Including practical applications and mindful exercises, it is an inspirational guide to a more fulfilling life as part of the large family to which we all belong.

Drawing on the wisdom of her grandfather, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mungi Ngomane shares fourteen lessons in the art of living well, together:

South African Philosophy: Learn the simple, profound belief that underpins this way of life: 'I am only because you are, ' and see how it can transform your relationships.
Strength in Unity: Discover why community and connection are our greatest assets and how we can overcome division to be stronger together.
The Power of Listening: Explore practical lessons in empathy and deep listening, and see how choosing to truly hear others is an act of strength that can heal division.
Hope and Humanity: Find inspiration in the stories from the Rainbow Nation and the wisdom of leaders like Nelson Mandela to choose hope, even in difficult times.
