What I Learnt about Happiness in Africa by Rickly E is a short personal reflection and cross-cultural memoir about happiness, work, and social life. The book is based on the experience of an engineer who lived in Africa for four years, worked for a start-up, went through the pandemic lockdown, and eventually left employment to open a restaurant. Rather than presenting a formal study of happiness, it uses lived experience as its main evidence. Its central purpose is to examine how immersion in a different social environment can unsettle inherited assumptions about ambition, material progress, productivity, and personal fulfillment. The perspective is explicitly shaped by a Western lens encountering African social norms, which gives the book both its strength and its limitation. It is most useful as an account of personal transformation through cultural comparison, especially for readers interested in how everyday relationships and community practices can alter ideas of a meaningful life.
