An exciting and insightful new book indeed.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

After seven years of intense work, I am excited to announce that my new book, The Law of the Sublime, will be out in November. and is now available for pre-order (see link below).

The book is designed to expand your mind, and to reveal to you a world to explore beyond what you consider reality: the realm of the Sublime.

This adventure does not require travel, drugs, or any form of external stimulation.

It only requires a new pair of eyes to see the extraordinary all around you.

Through stories, exercises, and meditations, the book will immerse you in the Sublime and forever transform how you experience life.

Victoria Falls is experiencing the largest volume of water in 70 years right now.

On the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia (with 75% of the best views only visible from Zimbabwe), the falls are the largest curtain of falling water in the world.

Kariba Dam will probably overspill this year & we might see the sluice gates opened for the first time in many many years, @mimmitwit @Mavhure @matigary @Zimparks

Norway, a country with just over 5 million people, manages the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — worth nearly $2 trillion. This translates to around $340,000 for every citizen, making it one of the richest countries per capita.

The fund was built from oil revenues, but instead of spending it all, Norway invested globally in stocks, bonds, and green energy projects. It serves as a safety net for future generations, ensuring the country’s wealth continues long after oil production declines.

Norway’s model is admired worldwide as an example of smart resource management. It shows how natural resources can be transformed into long-term prosperity when governments prioritize sustainability and financial discipline.

Today, on #GISDay2025, we celebrate the transformative power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and how they enable us to better understand and visualize our world.

World GIS Day is marked every year on the third Wednesday of November, bringing together professionals, students, researchers, and innovators to recognize the far-reaching impact of GIS in shaping our global landscape. Established in 1999 with support from Esri, the National Geographic Society, and the Association of American Geographers, GIS Day has evolved into a global movement celebrated in more than 160 countries.

At the Kenya Space Agency (KSA), we remain committed to advancing the use of GIS and Earth Observation to deliver meaningful insights and solutions for Kenya 🇰🇪.
