John (Bodhi) McInroy

Make sure your autoupdates are on in your kindle.

Oh, and don't forget to visit the author page of Emile Raymond, without whom Butterfly Man would not exist. We worked together from my original manuscript of more than 77,000 words and turned it into what you see today, with my ongoing help and thoughts, collaboration and input. It was an epic time!

Ok, now i have to talk about my self. I, John McInroy, am hereby a “….change-agent, social entrepreneur, ultra-endurance athlete, philanthropist”, social activist, international field hockey player, model, actor, public speaker and the man behind the searingly honest, harrowing, almost cataclysmic” book Butterfly Man.

But for a sense of objectivity, I'll let a third person take over.

He founded two social movements, Red Socks Friday, a movement that is connecting people all over the world, and the Unogwaja Charitable Trust with its very own Unogwaja Challenge, the legendary annual 1,650km, 10−day bike ride from Cape Town to Pietermaritzburg (which John has done on foot) followed by the 89km Comrades Marathon on day 11. John has an MBA from the University College of Dublin’s Graduate Business School, awarded through the “Ideas for the Future” scholarship. He is also known as “Prem Bodhi” (or just “Bodhi”), a Sanskrit name meaning Love Awareness given to him and accepted in Pune, India, and “Sipho” a name meaning “gift” in Xhosa, given to him in Langa, his home when he is in Cape Town. He shares a house with Ntuthu Tsolekile, mother of former South Africa cricketer Thami Tsolekile. Larry Claassen of the Financial Times said after an interview with John that, “you don’t meet John McInroy, you experience him.“

John (now called Bodhi) is today a convinced vegan and becoming a Jivamukti yoga teacher. The study and practice of yoga and tantra is having a great influence on his life and ever evolving life view and approach to activism for which he is deeply grateful.

John continues to serve actively as Founder and member of Board of Trustees of Unogwaja Charitable Trust and red socks movement which is now fully part of Unogwaja Charitable Trust.

Butterfly Man is published by Hard On Karma Creations, founded by Olive Retreat to support the movement of suffering into any creative act of hope, as Butterfly Man was for John.
