About the Book

The African practice of living life well, together
"When we act upon deeply feeling a sense of being connected to others by our common humanity, when we truly regard self and other as one, when we cherish human dignity, all of our relationships and the level of our behaviours and actions are raised to a higher plane. When we understand and practice Ubuntu we will realize that each has vital role to play, which must be held in balance, no one dominating the other. We must "Break the walls down. Bring the people together."
- Rev. William E. Flippin, Jr.

Ubuntu is a philosophy, a principle, a way of life. Originally from Southern Africa, it translates as "I am only because you are".

In a world that prioritises individualism, Ubuntu teaches us why we are more we are so much more than our individual selves. From learning how to be humane, gentle and empathetic to embracing unity and community over division and disconnection, Ubuntu is all about power in the people.

Widely known through its association with some of the greatest leaders in modern history, from Nelson Mandela to Bishop Desmond Tutu, Ubuntu speaks to the essence of humanness.

In this book you will learn:
- The ancient roots of Ubuntu
- Ubuntu in African humanism and philosophy
- How to use Ubuntu to build community
- How to apply Ubuntu in the workplace
- How Ubuntu can impact your health, happiness and wellbeing
About the Author: Dr. Gabriella Beckles-Raymond is a Senior Lecturer in Womanist Theology, Philosophy and Culture at Canterbury Christ Church University. She also leads the Program Lead for the Theology BA Program at London South East Colleges.
