What is ubuntu stoicism?
I will explain.
These are two separate philosophies, and of course from two different continents and eras. They overlap by over 2500 years before the era of Jesus Christ’s birth (BC).

This book narrates practical philosophies and virtues the ancients used as resilience tools against hardships. They are very much applicable to today’s times.
We all struggle to get a grip on joy, anxiety, productivity, and resilience from time to time.
Today, thousands around the world have found solace and utility in the ancient Greek philosophy of Stoicism against these struggles, from sportsmen, coaches, politicians, businessmen, and artists.
In Africa, they use the ancient philosophy of Ubuntu and its Proverbs to reinforce sanity, motivation, humility, inspiration, meaning, and cautionary discipline.
In this book, the author meditates on the combination of the two ancient philosophies as a pathway to get a healthy grip on joy, anxiety, and productivity.
To the author, Stoicism enshrines humility (Ubuntu) for the self, others, goals, joy, and productivity.
Tiisetso first introduced his meditative writings on Stoicism in his book titled The Anxious Entrepreneur, published in 2016.
Later, he coined the phrase ‘Ubuntu Stoicism’ as a creative and meditative endeavour in getting a grip on joy, productivity, and anxieties.
Introducing Ubuntu Stoicism not only borrows virtues from ancient titans (Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus) and African Proverbs but also from modern icons outside of Stoicism, from the likes of Nelson Mandela and the rapper Snoop Dogg.
South Africa: Youth unemployment stands at a devastating 47.8% for the first quarter of 2022. The official unemployment rate is at 34.5%.
In this article, I argue that postgraduate education won’t create jobs to smoothen this crisis (in the short and long term).
And, if Corporate South Africa is serious about job creation and economic growth, they should redirect some of their funds for post-graduate education to intrapreneurship, as one of the solutions.
The country’s fundamental problem is a product problem. It is what I’ve diagnosed. We do not have enough products that we own: that we sell to the world and ourselves.
My argument is that a reduced or increased spending on education does not affect economic growth significantly, but, any endeavour that directly trials (and errors) to produce Proprietary-To-Novel innovation does, like entrepreneurship. However, for Corporate SA, the better substitute is intrapreneurship.

The Joe Rogan Experience is one of my favourite podcasts in the world. His guests Gad Saad (evolutionary psychologist) and Joseph E. LeDoux (neuroscientist) inspired my 7th book ‘Innovate The Next: Success Frameworks to Innovating Products in Any Revolution.’
Joe Rogan is a billionaire (another article I wrote).
He often says he is a “dummy” on several matters, business being one of them.
Well, maybe or maybe not. Who knows!!

Below are certain quotes we all (yes you) find hilarious and funny, from his Incerto book series (the likes of Antifragile and Skin in The Game).

These quotes below are out of context (perhaps)– but within the context of humour.
Since say comedians say they love the ones they roast, I guess love it also when the ones I love are roasted.
