Re: On Changing your Life
As usual: Excellent!
Great writing.
A little bit OT but:
If anyone wants to read a great book about Africa, specifically South Africa and the roots of Apartheid, I recommend:
My Traitor's Heart: A South African Exile Returns to Face His Country, His Tribe, and His Conscience by Rian Malan
Its basically an Afrikaner turned liberal telling the history of his family. Its not an easy read (very bloody, everyone fighting everyone) but it gives great insight into how Africa was shaped, and how the hatred was built.
Im not doing it justice in this description, but I just couldn’t put it down.
After reading it I bought Nelson Mandelas Autobiography. It’s a looong read, I haven’t finished it yet, but it is fascinating so far.
