Review
The renowned author and playwright, Uncle Ebo Whyte, reviewing the book, said there was a tendency in Ghana where many people left their responsibility to the coming generation because of their failure to do more than they ought to.
He noted that for Kojo Kwarteng to put his thoughts and experiences on paper was worthy of emulation.
That, he said, the generation to come would know how to make their way in life, saying: “Some of us blundered our way through life, and in my case, I had to start all over again at age 46.”
He said the language of the book was easy to read with short chapters, describing it as user-friendly, and containing relevant topics.
Mr Whyte recommended the book as a personal counsellor and career guidance for every young person and those that are still struggling to make their way in life.
