Abundance Mentality

This is the story of how a barefooted boy, from the beautiful but remote Ugandan countryside of Kisoro district beneath the Virunga Mountains, grew up to become a Permanent Secretary. More than 60 years of adversity, adventure and hope are compressed in a few hundred pages to bring to life the belief that an attitude that a glass is half-full (rather than half- empty) goes a long way to attracting positive things in a person’s life. Pius Bigirimana disentangles Uganda’s past and weaves the tale of his family through the difficulties of the times the nation has been through to emphasise the need for a positive attitude, piety and hard work. Abundance Mentality is a testimony that beauty and success are forged using the tools of adversity and, sometimes, failure. One must show a willingness to continually adjust to changing circumstances and detect new opportunities and possibilities.
