The Taxi Philosopher is a raw and reflective memoir of a young psychologist’s experiences gained from travelling in minibus taxis, practising in community clinics and reading provocative material. It is a book about the limitless and timeless human spirit in the South African context. Themes regarding God, human behaviour and psychological theory are explored in unique journal entries. Precious and painful moments that develop and destroy the human soul are unveiled. It is a book about contradictions and strange connections that heal. It will provoke, challenge, lead and, most importantly, heal many hearts and minds.
