In 2017, Kurt Davis traveled to Africa and volunteered at many business accelerators and humanitarian non-profits. Finding Soul, From Silicon Valley to Africa gives readers a detailed description of not only what Africa is like, but also how the experiences changed and inspired him. Each chapter reads like a vignette while developing the key themes in the book: experiencing deep empathy for others, releasing ego and identity, and discovering a deeper meaning for life. There are other moments that emerge throughout its pages, such as understanding the roots of racism, the power of entrepreneurship as a tool for development, and learning how to enjoy a journey without a plan. Finding Soul, From Silicon Valley to Africa is for anyone who is a traveler looking for a few tips about Africa, a student wanting to learn more about the continent, an entrepreneur or businessman/woman interested in Africa’s potential, or just a curious reader wanting to learn about a personal development story.
"It's good to read about someone who left the Silicon Valley treadmill to find happiness elsewhere. Kurt Davis provides a window into what happens when you stop, think, and find your soul. It's a very human adventure." -Dean Takahashi, Lead Writer at Venturebeat
"Finding Soul: Silicon Valley to Africa is a travel memoir that invites reflection. The reader not only enjoys the varied adventures of a refugee of success from Silicon Valley to re-discovering soul in Africa and the delights of sights, sounds, and smells while being an armchair traveller, but the invitation to reflect on where your own life is and where it is going."-Catherine Ann Jones, Buddha & the Dancing Girl
“A tech entrepreneur searching for something more goes to Africa and finds new purpose and meaning in life. Go on a journey -- inner and outer with him."-Dorie Clark, author of The Long Game and executive education faculty, Duke University Fuqua School of Business
