Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born on the 21st of January, 1996 in Tamale-Northern Ghana. My father had 16 children and among them, I was the unfortunate one to first gain admission into the university. All of my earlier education was in the Northern part of Ghana till 2018 when I went to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to read BSc. Geomatic Engineering. Before then I had engaged in many activities and have actually read so many books concerning religion, economics, philosophy, business and personal development. I was able to refined my personal philosophy and was fortunate to become The Happiest Man Alive. My dynamic personality has let me to do so many other things apart from schooling. I wrote my first book using my Techno F1 phone because I had no access to the computer then. Engineering has been my passion for several years but that passion is gradually moving to an area that I think I was really designed for. Thus, researching, speaking, writing and coaching have really shown that I was really designed to be a Researcher, Speaker, Author and Life Coach.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Difference Maker You Are: The fundamental requirements for thinking and becoming. My obsession for reading has led me to discover great insights in life. What inspired me to write the book was desire to share all that I had learned but I could not get any platform to share what I had fallen in love with. I knew I had found a valuable information which many people need to know to really understand the world around them. I tried to find ways to get that information to those who really need but I could not. I discovered writing and thought it wise to organize the information so that anyone who needs it can have access to it.
