Beyond the PhD - Volume 2

Beyond the PhD - Volume 2 continues the remarkable life story of Professor Kenneth K. Mwenda, one of Africa's most internationally respected legal minds, educators, and public intellectuals. Where Volume 1 explored his academic ascent and the moral discipline behind it, this stand-alone second volume celebrates a life of impact-spanning continents, institutions, and generations. From his decades at the World Bank to his advisory work with governments, universities, and international organisations, Mwenda reflects on the meaning of leadership through service. His narrative traces encounters with heads of state, chancellors, judges, and former students who now lead nations and global institutions, illustrating how influence grounded in integrity endures far beyond professional achievement. Drawing on experiences across Africa, Europe, and North America, Mwenda's reflections are at once personal and universal. He writes of faith, perseverance, and gratitude; of navigating cultural divides with grace; and of mentoring young minds to pursue excellence without compromise. Beyond the PhD - Volume 2 invites readers to look past academic titles toward the enduring legacy of purpose-driven living. With warmth, humility, and candour, Mwenda reminds us that success is measured not by what we earn, but by the lives we touch. Engaging, reflective, and deeply human, this book will resonate with readers seeking motivation, moral clarity, and a vision of leadership that transcends boundaries.
