THE BOOKS AND MORE SHOW ON STARR 103.5 FM

Books and Arts play a major role in knowledge acquisition. “Knowledge”, it is said, “is power” and this power can only be acquired through reading. For knowledge and for that matter power to be gotten, there must be the cultivation of a reading habit. 

Unfortunately, our society has not come to the full understanding of the essence of reading. This is why we have come up with this show which seeks to educate the public and viewers on the importance of books and introduce to them, the kind of books and resources that will give them the needed knowledge for effective communication and power.  Reading cannot and should not be limited only to the lecture rooms.

PURPOSE

This show also seeks to outdoor both old and new writers and to celebrate the works of icons like Dr. Joyce Aryee, Bishop Titi Offei, other fellows, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Professor Wole Soyinka, Dr. Abu Bako, Dr. Efua Sutherland, Darryl Philips  and many more like them. It also seeks to have a fusion of old literary works and modern contemporary ones in order to encourage mentoring, improve the art of writing, encourage an appreciation and fusion of the older & younger generation

The Corporate Segment of the Show seeks to address corporate issues and can easily be developed into a virtual corporate institution for soft skills development or a finishing school. Some of the topics to be treated are:

·                 Time management, stress management, career guidance, workplace conflict resolution, health tips for workplace, corporate grooming, image building, client service, team work, dealing with difficult bosses etc
