ABOUT THE BOOK

The tragedy of today's world is that many people are viewing life with an ant's eye view. They zero in on a particular segment of their life, and project that view unto other aspects of their life.

The danger with this approach is that they end up confused, frustrated and settling for less than they deserve.

Purple Bananas - An idiot-proof approach to common sense living is a book that takes readers on a voyage inward to help them address foundational issues and regain control of their lives, so that they can make the rest of their lives the best of their lives. It is a book that helps you zoom out on your life, and see things from a bird's eye view so that you can appreciate with more clarity, the beauty of the things that matter the most.

The book explores 21 themes that touch on key aspects of life. The rich blend of short stories, wisdom nuggets and reflective exercises will help you make the most of your lived experience.

The book will make you blow hot and cool off, smile hard and sigh deep, laugh out loud and fight to hold back the tears, and ultimately it will make you learn and unlearn.

Purple bananas seeks to arouse curiosity, stir conversations, shatter beliefs, deepen convictions and help you approach life with a sense of curiosity, clarity and candor.

Purple Bananas is a masterpiece. It is relevant especially in these times of uncertainty and obscurity for many young people. I was particularly curious about the concept - Purple Bananas - and loved how Ikemba connected this with the everyday life issues. Indeed life is full of banana peels and we need to learn how to avoid them in other to savor the banana flavor...

The title and subtitle of the book does a good job of attracting attention and curiosity. The book itself is at once philosophical, motivational and educational. The rich arrays of evergreen quotes prefixing every chapter plus the 3-2-1 challenge at the end of every chapter reinforce the creative and refreshing credential, character and appeal of the book.
