    Great insight in culture and happiness
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2010*

I read Tepilit Ole Saitoti's The Worlds of a Maasai Warrior because I was so impressed with several books I read on the life of pygmies. The Maasai is another proud race that is disappearing, trampled by the march of so-called civilization. How other people live in the arms of nature while I'm snug and hidden in my man-made home with my store-bought food amazes me.Tepilit grew up on the African Serengeti, drinking milk for breakfast, herding cows all day, and feeling lucky to have food for dinner. He was happy-content. He didn't feel put upon or less than the city folk in their cars and clothes. He led what we would call a simple life, one which he considered complete, filled with the natural wonder of nature's flora and fauna. Somehow, hard to say how it happened, but he grew to love learning. This passion for education led him to the western world and a Bachelors, then a Masters. I'm not sure if they made him happier-I think not-or if he just changed, became more civilized in a Western sense, with no negative connotations to that observation.The books ends with his plea, "The only key that can now open locked doors is education. The Maasai once resisted education, afraid of losing their children. Now... the Maasai have come to accept it."I didn't realize the Maasai had a reputation as warriors until I read Tepilit's autobiography. When their youth grow to adulthood, they aspire to the warrior class. Not because they fight the enemy anymore, or enter in battle with their foe, but for the same reasons many of our youth join the military. The uniform of a warrior marks the individual as strong and competent, which is a worthy designation for mature males.Overall, I would recommend this to anyone wishing to understand how to be happy in life. Tepilit makes it clear that it's not our western culture or anything that rhymes with 'money' that brings happiness. Rather, it's an intrinsic quality within us, a pride in who we are and from where we came. I wonder how many of us are as lucky as Tepilit Ole Saitoti.

    A Different People
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2021*

This is a very good book for those trying to understand the  Maasai people and their similarities, differences, strengths and current weaknesses.  I enjoyed reading this book because it gave me an understanding of the ways Americans are different than those in Africa.  I still wish I could visit them there.

    The author does a great job of delineating the problem
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2014*

Very interesting story of a unique personal journey, with insightful glimpses into Masai culture and thinking along the way.  The conclusion left me hanging a bit, though.  The author does a great job of delineating the problem, i.e., the need for Masai culture to better adapt to the ever-advancing modernization of East Africa.  Other than advocating generally for better education, though, he really does not offer much thought or attention to moving the ball forward.  Still, an easy and worthwhile read that left me with greater respect and appreciation for the Masai and provoked further thinking about the challenges they face in the 21st century.
