About the author

Dr Afiniki Akanet, a practising General Practitioner (GP) and Assistant Professor, released another self-help motivational book called, When You Love and Hate Your Job on the 1st of May 2025, which was International Workers’ Day. This is a timely book considering the challenges workers and businesses are facing nationally.

Afiniki has developed an interesting portfolio career over the past twenty years, with experience in entrepreneurship and other sectors outside of healthcare. She founded Forte Charity for Inspiration in 2008 and has written several other motivational and self-help books, including Money and Mental Wellbeing, because of her special interest in mental health. Afiniki lives in Warwickshire with her husband and two children.
