12 Days of Christmas book giveaway – Day 8

DECEMBER is finally here, and with it, come the Christmas carols, decorations and end-of-year parties.

But sometimes, it can be difficult to get into the holiday cheer. And with many still recovering from the economic pitfalls of lockdown, rising fuel prices and the ever-looming load-shedding, Caxton Local Media, in partnership with several prominent publishing houses, will be running 12 book giveaways to stir up the festive spirit.

This is our own twist to the 12 Days of Christmas. And while this is traditionally supposed to run from December 25 to January 5, we thought we would start out our December with a ‘12 Days of Giveaways’!

Day Eight is all about inspiration and self-improvement!

Simply fill in the competition form below to stand a chance to win!

Genius, Bruce Whitfield, Pan Macmillan, ISBN: 9781770107564

South Africa and its fraught political economy provide a fascinating case study into how it takes a particular brand of genius to thrive in a difficult domestic environment and to take the ideas and the businesses that deliver them from local to global. Genius tells the stories of some of the extraordinary individuals, companies and industries whose ideas, products and raw materials solve problems and add value across the globe.

Greatness comes from acting on purpose, and there is a generation of South Africans solving problems for the future. Learn how Pratley beat Armstrong to the moon, how a former Eskom quantity surveyor capitalised on Britain’s obsession with meerkats to create the UK’s most visible price comparison website, how to take a Mediterranean-style food concept to the Mediterranean, and how a device designed to beat diamond smuggling made it from the set of a popular US hospital drama into emergency rooms and pathology labs across the US.

Genius examines what it takes to thrive in an increasingly complex, fast-paced and divisive global environment. These are lessons for anyone looking to succeed anywhere against the odds.
