**Becoming A Man Book**
For the longest time now, the boy-child has been under siege- lacking empowerment, being forgotten, neglected and ignored in various aspects. In fact, the plight of the boy child has been depicted as one of doom and gloom! As a result, the boy child is 10 times likely to go to prison than the girl child. Drugs and crimes are at an alarming rate among the boy child. This means that the boy child is likely to languish in poverty, suffer depression and commit suicide. Fortunately the cure is found in Becoming a Man
Leave no man behind!

PRESSURE PROOF
Pressure Proof – A Teen’s Guide Against Negative Peer Pressure
Pressure Proof is more than a book—it is a practical guide and companion designed to help teenagers navigate the many pressures and influences that can shape their choices, character and future.
The book helps teens understand what peer pressure is, how it works, and how seemingly small choices can have lasting consequences. It gives them practical tools to stand firm, think independently and make decisions that align with their values and purpose.
Through Pressure Proof, teenagers are helped to:
- Build self-awareness and confidence – understand who they are, their strengths, values and identity.
- Recognise negative peer pressure – identify subtle and direct forms of influence before they lead to harmful choices.
- Make wise decisions – develop critical thinking and learn to consider consequences before acting.
- Say NO with confidence – resist pressure without fear, shame or the need to please others.
- Choose friends wisely – understand how friendships and social circles can influence behaviour, character and destiny.
- Handle the desire to fit in – develop the courage to remain authentic even when everyone else is doing something different.
- Resist drugs and other harmful influences – understand how substance use and risky behaviours can affect their education, relationships and future.
- Navigate social media influence – become more intentional about online content, trends, comparison and the pressure to conform.
- Manage academic pressure – stay focused on education despite distractions, friendships and other competing influences.
- Develop emotional resilience – cope with rejection, disappointment, criticism, conflict and difficult seasons without making destructive choices.
- Set healthy boundaries – learn when and how to walk away from situations, relationships and environments that threaten their wellbeing.
- Take responsibility for their choices – understand that they have the power to influence the direction of their lives.
- Discover purpose and direction – connect today's decisions with the person they want to become tomorrow.
- Become a positive influence – move from being controlled by peer pressure to becoming a young person who positively influences others.
At its heart, Pressure Proof delivers a powerful message: you do not have to compromise your values to belong. You can stand strong, make wise choices and protect your future.
This is why Pressure Proof belongs in homes, schools, churches, mentorship programmes, counselling centres and youth institutions—because equipping a young person before they face pressure can help them make better choices when pressure comes.
PRESSURE PROOF: You are stronger than the pressure. You are built for greatness.
THE CBE SUCCESS GUIDE BY PAUL WANGARI
*NEW BOOK*
Education Has Changed. Has Your Child Adapted?
Education today is not about memorizing notes and passing exams. It is about building thinkers, problem-solvers and leaders. The Competency-Based Education system demands skills, values and real understanding.
As a parent, the question is simple: Is your child prepared for this shift?
The CBE Success Guide equips Junior Secondary and Senior School learners with the mindset, skills and discipline needed to thrive under the new system.
TIME MANAGEMENT FOR WINNING GRADES by Paul Wangari
Time is to a student what water is to a plant.
Time is a very essential resource in the life of a student. Time management is a skill that can
make or break visions depending on how one uses time. Every action takes time. This means that when time is wasted, the value of life is diluted.
Students fail not because they cannot master content but majorly because they lack proper time management skills, especially usage and priority - that is how and when a student does his or her part.
The book encourages students to be responsible with their time in order to realise a winning grade. It tries to show students how to use the available time optimally because time is limited and every individual is personally responsible for how they use their time.
LIFE SKILLS YOU MUST NOT MISS BY PAUL WANGARI

With every page, the author breathes life into words, urging us to move from thought to action, from knowing to doing. This is more than a book—it is a compass for navigating the winding maze of life towards a fuller, richer you. The author doesn’t just describe excellence; he hands us the keys to unlock it. Each chapter feels like a conversation, a gentle push forward, and a reminder that greatness grows in daily habits. By the last page, you may find yourself reaching for this guide more often than your smartphone, not just to read, but to remember: in the journey of life, skills are the stepping stones, and this book is the path.
Paul Wangari is a gifted inspirational speaker, counselling psychologist, Kenya’s leading youth mentor and a two-times award-winning author; AfriCAN Authors’ Award in South Africa and KEMEN Award in Kenya for Men Advocate of the year (2023) following his books Sex & Teenagers and Becoming a Man respectively.
WHY YOU MARRY WRONG by Paul Wangari
The person you marry affects your destiny and success in a great way, hence the need to marry right. It's therefore, of paramount importance, for the individual to think through why they want to marry in order to make an informed decision pertaining to this lifetime commitment.
This book, Why You Marry Wrong, discusses 30 reassons that lead people into wrong marriages. The book encourages marriages that are
intentional rather than circumstantial. Marriages that are Intentional are beautiful and fulfilling to a couple and their children. On the other hand, when a couple marries out of pressure or situations might reach a point where they end up feeling like they made the wrong decision. It is my prayer that this book will inspire people to build happy and fulfilling marriages.

Working with Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman
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

Full Force and Effect
A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City, and a package of forged documents goes missing. The pieces are there, but assembling the puzzle will cost Jack Ryan, Jr. and his fellow Campus agents precious time. Time they don’t have.
The challenge facing President Jack Ryan is an old one with a terrifying new twist. The international stalemate with North Korea continues into its seventh decade. A young, untested dictator is determined to prove his strength by breaking the deadlock. Like his father before him, he hangs his plans on the country’s nuclear ambitions. Until now, that program was impeded by a lack of resources. However, there has been a dramatic change in the nation’s economic fortune. A rich deposit of valuable minerals have been found in the Hermit Kingdom. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage.
There’s just one more step needed to complete this perfect plan…the elimination of the president of the United States.

Screw It, Let’s Do It Expanded
Throughout my life I have achieved many remarkable things. In Screw It, Let's Do It, I will share with you my ideas and the secrets of my success, but not simply because I hope they'll help you achieve your individual goals.
Today we are increasingly aware of the effects of our actions on the environment, and I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility, as individuals and organisations, to do no harm. I will draw on Gaia Capitalism to explain why we need to take stock of how we may be damaging the environment, and why it is up to big companies like Virgin to lead the way in a more holistic approach to business.
In Screw It, Let's Do It I'll be looking forwards to the future. A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I'll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and the new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin Fuels - into which Virgin is currently moving. But I have also brought together all the important lessons, good advice and inspirational adages that have helped me along the road to success.
Ironically, I have never been one to do things by the book, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people. I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages."

What to Expect When You're Expecting is a perennial New York Times bestseller and one of USA Today's 25 most influential books of the past 25 years. It's read by more than 90% of pregnant women who read a pregnancy book--the most iconic, must-have book for parents-to-be, with over 14.5 million copies in print.
Now comes the Fourth Edition, a new book for a new generation of expectant moms--featuring a new look, a fresh perspective, and a friendlier-than-ever voice. It's filled with the most up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy, but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has rewritten every section of the book, answering dozens of new questions and including loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand new one on carrying multiples.
More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, the Fourth Edition incorporates the most recent developments in obstetrics and addresses the most current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be.
Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect... only better.

Hot Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman
Brief Summary
Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How It Can Renew America
In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America's urgent need for national renewal and explains how a green revolution can bring about both a sustainable environment and a sustainable America.
Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the expansion of the world’s middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet--one that is "hot, flat, and crowded." In this Release 2.0 edition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession.
The challenge of a sustainable way of life presents the United States with an opportunity not only to rebuild its economy, but to lead the world in radically innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources.
Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.
