From celebrated Lebanese-Canadian poet and speaker, Najwa Zebian, comes this revised and expanded edition of her debut collection.
Mind Platter is a compilation of reflections on life as seen through the eyes of an educator, student, and human who experienced her early days in silence. It is written in the words of a woman who came from Lebanon to Canada at the age of sixteen and experienced what it was like to have fate push her to a place where she didn’t belong. It is written in the voice of every person who has felt unheard, mistreated, misjudged, or unseen. The book contains over 200 one-page reflections on topics we encounter in our everyday lives: love, friendship, hurt, inspiration, respect, motivation, integrity, honesty, and more. Mind Platter is not about the words it contains, but what the reader makes of them. May this book give a voice to those who need one, be a crying shoulder for those who yearn for someone to listen, and inspire those who need a reminder of the power they have over their lives.
Winner! This book is very very well and uniquely written. I really enjoyed reading this book and the author did a great job. Tons of wisdom enclosed…
I simply fell in love with this book I simply fell in love with this book, after being introduced to this author on Instagram. The words that this author brings to paper, are the ones that normal people (like me and you) are unable to put into words even though we may be feeling and thinking about them. Reading this book made me feel like I had come home; that I had been given the privilege to meet with a like-minded mind, who really GETS you.This book is brilliant.If you are hesitating, just buy it.
Motivational & Deep Najwa just has a way with her words that articulates my inner feelings. The positivity and her outlook on many situations found in this book is enlightening and peaceful. It gives me a perspective of self confidence, self respect and that taking the higher road by doing the right thing can only do you good. I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for her readers. Great read.
