  • Yes I have done something similar on a bigger scale. I’ve participated in a reading/discussion circle that spanned about 200+ people in different countries. We’ve all read a philosophical book and there were cards that had most of the chapters’ contents on them, so you didn’t necessarily need the book. We were encouraged to find a reading partner close by to discuss a chapter per week. I still meet up with my reading partner regularly even months after the project ended.

    It was the only way I would have worked through the complex book. I wouldn’t have done it alone.


  • “the book of Mirdad” by Mikha’il Na’ima. I just wanted everyone to read it. It’s a philosophical narrative of strive, peace, perspective, growth… When I read it I gained hope for humanity.

    I cannot say enough about this book. It’s opened my head and broadened my horizon.

    In a similar but more practical way: “the power of now” by Eckart Tolle is something that I quote from even years after reading it. Like the title suggests, it’s a helper to find the moment, the presence in the present.

    How is this getting downvoted? Regardless what your opinion on the matter is, this is objectively true. Israeli forces and government have been pushing into Palestine more and more, forcibly removed Palestine people from their homes and settling people there. So, Palestine literally would not exist in a few more years.
