Having finished the latest draft of the book I'm working on, I've been filling up my time at home trying to "make space". The sheer arrogance of setting ourselves on par with deity is certainly

Siddhartha Gautama. A wise man, deeply respected, and above all, a genuine source of inspiration for millions of people around the world. And no, do not worry, I am not here to preach to anyone. If anything,
