Life, Translated: 25 Metaphors for a life well lived

By Mr Deji Akinyemi

"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now."

Life comes at us fast - and rarely the way we planned. In this debut collection, Learning & Development leader, coach and storyteller Deji Akinyemi shares twenty-five life lessons through the lens of the metaphors and idioms that shaped his thinking, his career, and his character.

From boardrooms to boarding schools, from Nigeria to the NHS, these are real stories - honest, warm, and occasionally humbling - told with the sole purpose of inspiring you to take action, find perspective, and become the best version of yourself.

Each lesson stands alone. Every page speaks to where you are right now.

This is Volume One.
