Title: Positive Thinking, Tonic to Happiness

Author: Lazarus Sauti

Publisher: Diaspora

Pages: 36

Year of Publication: 2015

Resonating from the biblical Philippians 4 vs 8, Lazarus Sauti’s 36 paged book is a motivational piece, however, not an in-depth exposition on the highly publicised subject of the power of positive thinking.

Reads Philippians 4 vs 8: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Moderately, the book is evocative and plainly motivates readers to the sighting of the fact that since the mind is the most valuable asset to any living person, it needs to be used and sharpened so that it does not lose its value.

The book also points to the assertion that positive thinking is a stimulant to happiness, high-spiritedness and unity.

With 14 chapters which include ‘Embrace the Power of Positives’, ‘Associate With Morale Boosters’ and ‘Avoid Envy but Compete With Your Self’; the book also points to the fact that a person who faces life with a positive mind achieves success.

“Your happiness or high spiritedness begins with the power of your thinking; Therefore, strive to be a person of positive thinking on top of a being of positive action,” reads a part in the book.

An anonymous writer once said that a positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible and as such Sauti says the key to happiness is positive thinking.

“A man is a product or manifestation of what he thinks; one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.

“As such positive thinking is critical to an individual’s journey to happiness,” said Sauti.

Positive Thinking: Tonic to Happiness also provides some guides on how one can change thought patterns and achieve happiness.

It also encourages the readers to push boundaries in all aspects of life and think positively.

“I thank the Almighty God for enabling me to write this book, and also Kennedy H. Madhombiro, founder and editor of Diaspora Publishers for editing my book.

“I also thank my family, friends, church fellows and everyone in my life for supporting me,” he said

Lazarus Sauti is an information officer, researcher, knowledge and information manager, blogger and journalist.

Positive Thinking: Tonic to Happiness is his first book and he says he hopes to keep sharing his passion through more published work.

Why the hell are men and women prepared to poison themselves for sex?

Lazarus Sauti Tim Marufu uses Congo dust, a sex enhancing drug from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to prolong his erection. He said the aphrodisiac, which is rubbed on the male organ, results in lengthy sex rounds. “ NeCongo dust unoanchor mudhara, unochimhanya (With Congo dust you can enjoy length sex sessions). “ Uyu mushonga wechikwapuro; ukangozora chete simbi yako inozhamba (This drug is powerful. If you properly apply it, your partner will cry in bed),” said Marufu, adding that “the powder prolongs an erection for up to an hour if applied correctly.” Explaining how Congo dust works, he says, “You just take a pinch and rub it at the tip of your organ at least three hours before being intimate.” During the process of an erection, he added, the penis enlarges and stiffens as a result of changes within muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the organ .

Are butt-fattening pills real?

Lazarus Sauti Large posteriors are beautiful marks for most African women and despite health hazards and side effects such as kidney failure, blurred vision, sedation, dry mouth and gastrointestinal, women jostle to get them. In Zimbabwe, most women use Apetito tablets, illegal injections as well as chicken-fattening pills to acquire fake behinds. These illegal tablets as well as chicken-fattening pills are smuggled into the country from countries like India, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia. The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority asserts that an increase in seized contraband of butt-fattening pills shows amplified circulation of such drugs in the country. Recently, alert Zimra officers stationed at Chirundu One-Stop Border Post confiscated a huge consignment of skin lightening creams as well as butt-enhancing tablets which were carefully stashed in a well-carved opening on the trailer of a haulage truck destined for Harare. “Skin lightening creams and “bod...
