Until we are free

Another powerful read—it would be unfair to simply call it a "book." It’s the story of many lives in Iran.

Shirin Ebadi, the author, is Iran’s first female judge and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Through this book, she takes us deep into the lives of people in Iran—realities that many of us are completely unaware of.

Only when we understand the journeys of others do we truly realize how fortunate we are—and begin to count our blessings.

Dr. Shirin Ebadi is a remarkably strong woman who has made countless sacrifices in her fight for human rights and justice. In pursuing this mission, she has missed out on many precious moments in her own life. Today, she cannot even return to her country and lives far away from her husband. Yet, even from afar, she continues to work tirelessly for her people in Iran.

Respect to you, Madam, for all your sacrifices.

When breath becomes air

Ugh… feeling a heaviness in my heart.

When Breath Becomes Air—a memoir by Paul Kalanithi, a neurosurgeon.
Yes, you read that right: was a neurosurgeon. He lost his life to cancer at the age of just 37.

This book will show you the true value of life. After reading it, you might find yourself regretting the time you wasted in the past—fighting with others, blaming them...

You have only one life. Live it to the fullest. Live it meaningfully.

In this memoir, Paul Kalanithi takes us through the highs and lows of being a terminal cancer patient—something many of us can deeply relate to.

If you ask me what the greatest wealth in the world is, I would say without hesitation: health. There’s no doubt about it—health is wealth.
