The book starts with Museo explaining the issue of non-consensual sex from a female perspective. Following that story, Kiunguyu and Marion break up with their lovers. Ang’ana then breaks us down into atomic particles and explains how we can Teleport in this version of ourselves. Dave Nguyai reflects how life could be Meaningless while Naomi asks herself who she really is, and as a result, Kambai decides to take one last Walk before his Death. Spartoo seems to watch all 3 of them from a distance, as he captures it all in Clouds.

Shane, optimistic as he is, tells them that it isn’t the Time to Die. Jazz talks about how her heart Aches for love, before Muinde teaches her about Love Languages and Gifting. Mark recruits curious people Who want to be Astronomers so that he can show them what is at the Center of the Universe. Wayne takes this chance to tell us why you should all listen to Jika by Mi Casa. Wangareeh tells us of The last days of her grandmother, which makes Nyachihi break the stereotype of men being the head of the family, a surprising confession which makes Dendrick question whether The World is an Illusion. We take a trip down to Mombasa, where we meet our friend Kingsley Taabu as he sips his beer, together with Ed who is already Drunk. Dennis is also drinking beer so as to see how it feels, but Andrew explains that what he’ll feel isn’t real, but a Simulacra.

Anisa beautifully narrates about two lovers, which causes Okeyo to Keep the Baby. Both Natashas and Anissa tell us of their thoughts on their bodies as they wash themselves and look into the mirror. Amanda animates the conversation she had with a cat, depressing as it is, that Wachira tells us of the subsequent thoughts In the dead of the Night. Stephanie comes forward on behalf of the BeyHive to talk about Beyonce’s latest album, while Martin, on behalf of the beach boys, gives a review on the Sandman.

It all ends with Ang’ana arrested and lying in the police cells.

How To Make This Boy Go Home With Me By Amanda Nechesa

KShs700.00 KShs650.00
How To Make This Boy Go Home With Me is a witty “manual” for love, lust, and longing in your twenties. Told as a step-by-step guide, it follows one girl’s night out as she plots, schemes, and performs her way into the attention of her longtime crush. But beneath the red dress, the lipstick, and the perfectly timed jokes lies the tender ache of wanting to be wanted; the longing not just to be seen, but to be chosen. It is a story that is both funny and vulnerable, exposing the theatrics of seduction in a messy hilarity of trying to script desire.

Working with Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman

,
KShs2,800.00 KShs2,500.00
Brief summary Do you have what it takes to succeed in your career? The secret of success is not what they taught you in school. What matters most is not IQ, not a business school degree, not even technical know-how or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is actually a set of skills that anyone can acquire, and in this practical guide, Daniel Goleman identifies them, explains their importance, and shows how they can be fostered. For leaders, emotional intelligence is almost 90 percent of what sets stars apart from the mediocre. As Goleman documents, it's the essential ingredient for reaching and staying at the top in any field, even in high-tech careers. And organizations that learn to operate in emotionally intelligent ways are the companies that will remain vital and dynamic in the competitive marketplace of today—and the future. Comprehensively researched, crisply written, and packed with fascinating case histories of triumphs, disasters, and dramatic turnarounds, Working with Emotional Intelligence may be the most important business book you'll ever read. Drawing on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and studies in more than 500 organizations, Goleman documents an astonishing fact: in determining star performance in every field, emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise. Readers also discover how emotional competence can be learned. Goleman analyzes five key sets of skills and vividly shows how they determine who is hired and who is fired in the top corporations in the world. He also provides guidelines for training in the "emotionally intelligent organization," in chapters that no one, from manager to CEO, should miss. Working with Emotional Intelligence could prove to be the most important reference for bottom-line businesspeople in the first decades of the 21st century ISBN:9780553378580 Author:Daniel Goleman

Virgin Way

,
KShs1,695.00 KShs1,611.00
Now Branson gives an inside look at his strikingly different swashbuckling style of leadership. Learn how fun, family, passion, and the dying art of listening are key components to what his extended family of employees around the world have always dubbed (with a wink) the "Virgin Way.” This unique perspective comes from a man who dropped out of school at sixteen, suffers from dyslexia, and has never worked for anyone but himself. He may be famous for thinking outside the box—an expression he despises—but Branson asserts that "you’ll never have to think outside the box if you refuse to let anyone build one around you.” This is a unique book on leadership from someone who readily admits he has never read a book on leadership in his life. So expect the unexpected."" ISBN:1591847564 Author:Richard Branson

KShs895.00 KShs851.00
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so. New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian DIVERGENT series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.""

KShs1,390.00 KShs1,190.00
Paperback features over fifty pages of bonus materials, including a sneak peek of Insurgent, an author Q&A, a discussion guide, a Divergent playlist, faction manifestos, and more! In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her. Veronica Roth is the New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, the first in a trilogy of dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance."
