Sammie's book is one you simply cannot put down! He is certainly here to lead the way. And this shows within his character the more and more you dive deep into 'Time4Humanity'. I loved it! the world as we ''Know/Knew'' is shifting at such a rapid rate, and evolving. What lays ahead for us all, is so exciting!! I love the way the author gives so much about the business side and how unaligned it all is. His writing is very inspirational. Thank you Sammie, for being a much needed voice! A book that will move and stir you greatly that you feel like you’ve suddenly woken up and ''Got it'' Tell everyone in your world to read the book… Wherever you happen to be in your Spiritual life, I whole-heartedly recommend this book because it will lead you to the next level. We all must ''awaken'' step forward and lead our own truths! It's NOW TIME for Humanity. I cannot wait for his next book!! Fiona Day
My first every read book #Time4humanity - This book is recommended for everyone who feels that they are a part of this world as it redefines how humanity should always be a priority and how businesses should adapt practices that nurture and instill humanity in all of us to make this world not just better but just how it should be. I am not fond of reading books and have never read a book before apart from my academics but this book has binged me as it clearly addresses the need for changing our perceptions about how we deal with our life and business situations and how simple it is if we just embrace the difficulties and hear the silence which has a lot to say but only if you are ready to hear.
Thank you Samie Al-Achrafi for penning this amazing book that takes us into a journey of exploration of our inner self.
I love mangos. They are pulpy, bright with red and green colours. First I peel the skin, then cut through the flesh of the fruit before devouring the golden chunks, then the stone: The best bit, offering the sweetest part of the fruit.
This is how I experienced #Time4Humanity. In 3 parts, Samie invites us to 1. peel back the layers of the past through the "Unconscious Past"; 2. embrace the "Awakening Present" and 3. reconnect with our inner selves, the core of our fruit or the "Awakened Future".
Samie's courageous narrative accompanies the reader to re-evaluate everything in their life, pushing them to stare at themselves in the mirror until they finally understand the (potential of) the full self-picture and decide what legacy it is they really wish to leave behind in this world.
What a remarkable book!! A must read for every leader, every entrepreneur, or simply every person so we can all care as one towards earth "Our Home" to embrace it with a purposeful life within our journey of, through, and into humanity. Time4Humanity is full of depth and wisdom. The book tackles almost all aspects of life in a very eloquent and authentic style. While personal stories are beautifully and interestingly woven throughout, references and scientific facts add to them a literary credibility. A very nice segue from one chapter to another keeps you connected till the end, and waiting for more from Samie!! I will definitely read it again and use it as a reference in my training and consultancy work. I will definitely buy it again as a gift for current and potential leaders I know.
A fascinating guide that zooms in on the various aspects of conscious leadership, building on from the themes in the prequel ‘9 Lessons from the Universe’.
I particularly appreciated the author’s simple writing style, non-political stance throughout, and that he is pragmatic in bringing in some existing structures, systems and mechanisms that (though imperfect) could be leveraged as part of the shift. I personally found it very empowering to realise the power we have to express our values in society and business through conscious consumerism.
The book concludes with an exploration of self, and while that can feel uncomfortable when we have become so accustomed to being outwardly focused, it makes perfect sense that he would do so. After all, how are we going to realise a more connected, peaceful and compassionate world if we don’t embody it in ourselves first? 5/5 stars
A word perfect masterpiece! This is a handbook to be read and re-read, compelling us to take actions, to stand up for our values. It is an invitation we must all embrace. The honest and raw examples illustrating the importance of the ideas shared in this brilliant book show us that we all facing situations in which our humanity is compromised. It is an essential read for all of us, global-citizens, as it is an hymn to the beauty of our world and a necessary reminder that each of us need to demand better, in all areas of our lives. We own this to our human fellows, it is our common responsibility, we own this to humanity.
If you’re looking for a better understanding of leadership, values and how your mindset affects your opinions, self-worth, outlook on the world, personal limitations and the trajectory of your personal and professional life, this book is a "must" for every leader with many case studies about conscious leadership, corporate leaders, real-world examples in fascinating reading. If you want to learn more about yourself and how to become a true leader, this book will be a great investment in your success.
Let your humanity shine For someone that is not in a corporate job, this book is an eye opener. Part one, recognizing my strengths and vulnerabilities and to bring my humanity in any job of activity I do. Part two taught me how we, as consumers have the power and how our choices can benefit communities and our world in general. And part three, how the work is constant to develop out humanity, from mental health to spirituality, we are the beam of light for our future and our impact in this World is immense, by tapping into our humanity and being kind.
We are at a point of choice - either we accept the solutions of our ‘leaders’, or become conscious to an alternative that involves us reconnecting to that which makes us uniquely human. If we want to live and work in a better world, then Time4Humanity is the next step. If you want to be taught another model or be told what to do, then this book is not for you. But if you are ready to lead a happier and more fulfilled life, with the possibility of a better future for the next generation, then get reading!
This is one of those books as a leader or someone who believes in doing more, being a better human and learning will enjoy.
It reinforced my own beliefs, gave me new thoughts, intrigue to know more, to research and explore. I even had to google a couple of words to check.
Most of all it gave me hope. Hope that more leaders and people will at look at the world around them and be more human, consider there own impact and how it effects both the earth and humanity.
This beautifully written book has influenced me and my own new business. Thank you Samie.
A beautiful gift in form of a book, that's not just a book but somehow feels like an experience. An experience of having a deep conversation with a wise soul. The stories are shared with such simplicity that you will somehow feel like the one experiencing the story, crazy but true. The words of this book will leave a lasting impact in any person who is ready to question with curiousity rather than follow with conditioning. We are so used to purchasing top selling books and miss to see the quiet wisdom already present in the little places around us, holding the answers we seek.
This book is essential reading for this next phase of humankind’s development, as it addresses the fundamental challenges within the business world in terms of the human narrative. At once personal, persuasive, compelling and authoritative #Time4Humanity, reveals the gaps that all too often appear in people’s lives and relationships with compassion and solutions. For anyone serious about spiritual, mental and physical development this book is a must read. Well done sir!
A clear and concise guidebook, backed by research and first hand experiences on how to show up differently in the world.
I picked up a this book with lots of passion and enthusiasm towards positive change, yet no idea where to begin. Samie’s book offers some thought provoking insights, tools and techniques on how to go deeper within, that lead to practical shifts in beliefs and behaviours. A must read for those who want to contribute to a positive change!
The book addresses pertinent aspects of humanity and business from many angles and challenges readers to raise their consciousness levels and adopt a new set of standards for business based on enlightened human values. The time is right for all humans to put their humanity at the centre of their efforts to save our environment and improve the lives of all creatures on our unique planet. I look forward to sharing more of your thoughts in your next book.
In this current climate everyone needs to pick this book up, sit down and take it in. As a planet we have been pushed into a space which we feel we cant return from. Well this book reminds us of who we are and how we should react. #Time4Humanity is beautifully written and full of humour, reflection and inspiration and is extreamly wise and sensitive. You will walk away feeling like you can make a change.
What a fantastic book! Full of valuable lessons and at the same time easy and fun to read. Samie has a very unique and accessible writing style, making reading fluid (I didn't even see the time pass while reading it!) and interactive by sharing his own life stories.
I highly recommend the reading for anyone interested in delving into themselves, investigating unknowns, learning and unlearning. Definitely different from anything I've read!
Samie's book provides a wonderful balance of his own personal stories woven into insights from leading researchers and contributors to this vitally important field. It is a timely contribution given the uncertain and chaotic world in which we live. A life led with values is a powerful and important message for our personal and professional lives. Samie's book is a wake-up call for individual growth and provides much 'food for thought'. I highly recommend his book!
This book has really shaped the way I think about practicing humanity within my daily pursuit of realising my potential - taking it to the next level really! I loved the way how Samie shared with us stories of his experiences some were funny and some were inspirational however all led to the same point of how we must practice humanity through conscious leadership.
Bravo Samie! Looking forward to more of your publications.
This book is beautifully written incorporating facts and Samie's personal experiences and stories (which deepens the connection of the clear message of this book with a touch of humour added in too). This book fills me with the hope that there is a shift happening and that people are waking up and becoming more compassionate. By choosing to read this book, you are choosing to make a conscious effort to be part of the movement to help humanity.
This book made me realise that we are all leaders and can create meaningful change in our communities and companies. Across the author’s journey, he shows ways for us to become more conscious and live more purposeful lives. I particularly loved how the author brought the book to life with his personal stories and vulnerable sharing. In a post-COVID world it is #time4humanity.
Through #Time4Humanity you are taken on a journey of subtle, big and deep questions. I challenged myself about how I can bring my humanity each and every day and how, as a collective, we can practically change the world for the better. I finished this beautiful book deeply moved, inspired and motivated to take action.
It is a book which I have read and re-read and will continue do so.
Bringing humanity into everything that we do is incredibly important but often forgotten. This book is a timely reminder to raise our awareness of this and to bring about change with values.
A brilliant and much needed book for any conscientious leader. Brings new dimension to the things we all learn through professional education and truly fills a gap. A perfect read for any leader who is looking for inspiration to lead through the new normal.
#Time4Humanity is a positive mantra for living life and adapting it to the workplace. I recommend this book to anyone who is ready to make impactful changes to their life - whether personal, business or both.
What an amazing read!. I was pleased surprised how relatable is with the times we are living right now, so many lessons, gives you many options to think about how to tackle challenges in your life, and that everything goes back to just be kind and restore humanity in society.
"Go out there and create magic!" Samie was told while working at Walt Disney. And that is exactly what he did: In #Time4Humanity Samie shares the magic of being human. He invites leaders like you and me on an adventure to reconnect with our own humanity - so we can lead the world from that space into an awakened future. Becoming conscious of our unconscious past with the old constructs and the ways of dealing with problems we are guided to the awakening present: Being invited to open ourselves to the field of collective citizenship on planet earth and to be conscious leaders, co-creating with each other. I really enjoyed reading this book with these brilliant explanations based on extensive research, giving a voice to many inspirational people and offering beautiful insights about his own awakening. The words reverberate in me like little stones being thrown into a pond - the waves expanding in all directions, revealing many levels of understanding. Resonating with the depth of what Samie shares opened new dimensions in me: Peeling off the layers - going inward to my innermost Self. Standing at the portal of Oneness, the field of unlimited possibilities - where we choose who we are - where we choose to be human. There is no other - there is only us. And that is where the magic begins: It is #Time4Humanity.
