I am excited to introduce you to “Itsose,” a book that holds a special place in my heart. In its pages, you’ll find a powerful message that I believe can bring about transformational change in your life. This is not just a book; it’s a heartfelt call to action, urging us all to take our habits seriously and embark on a journey of self-improvement.
The Significance of Habits
At its core, ‘Itsose’ explores a simple yet profoundly important truth: our habits shape our destinies. From the moment we wake up to the time we lay our heads down to sleep, our habits govern our actions, thoughts, and ultimately, our chances of success.
A Uniquely Multilingual Approach
One of the aspects I’m most proud of in “Itsose” is its embrace of multiple languages. South Africa is a beautifully diverse country, and I wanted this book to be accessible and relatable to individuals from all walks of life, with a special interest in kasis. By incorporating various languages, mainly English and ‘Kasified’ Setswana, “Itsose” ensures that the message of self-improvement reaches many corners of our society.
Hard/Soft covers available for purchase

It’s also available as a softcopy on Amazon. You can now have this invaluable resource on your physical or digital bookshelf, ready to be referenced and shared with generations to come. It’s a testament to the lasting impact of the habits you’ll discover within its pages.
