From the celebrated poet, speaker, and educator comes Welcome Home, a powerful blueprint for building a strong foundation of self-worth, belonging, and happiness.
“A master class in self-actualization and compassion.”—Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet?
 
The powerful metaphor of home provides a structure for you to customize your journey to personal transformation as Najwa Zebian shares her own experiences in building a home within herself, and shows you how to construct the following “rooms”:
 
• Self-Love: Learn how to build an individualized self-care routine to reflect your daily needs.
• Forgiveness: Learn how to allow yourself time, reflection, and space to accept and let go of painful events.
• Compassion: Discover the three different types of compassion and learn how you can let people in while maintaining boundaries.
• Clarity: Learn how to remove the walls you put up around your authentic self.
• Surrender: Learn how to lower your defenses and give yourself space to feel and process your emotions.
• The Dream Garden: Learn how to nurture your dreams and create an authentic, original path.
 
With practical tools, poetry, and prompts for journaling and meditation to lead to self-understanding in each chapter, Zebian shows you how to build each room in your house. Written with her trademark power, candor, and warmth, Welcome Home is an answer to the pain we all experience when we don't feel at peace with ourselves.

      Activist and educator Zebian (Mind Platter) shares an uplifting but simplistic self-help guide grounded in her experiences of feeling unworthy. Zebian walks readers through how she came to value herself independently of the opinions of others, including dealing with rejection from a significant other and learning to “not run away from labels” regarding her Muslim faith. The breakthrough came when she started asking herself why she doesn’t have what she wants rather than why she couldn’t have it. Zebian gets at her own desires through a series of exercises, including inner dialogues to foster self-compassion by treating one’s self as one would a friend in need, and by comparing the state of a person’s life with what they’d want it to be. There isn’t anything revolutionary here, and the opening framing device—labelling those reliant on others’ opinions as homeless people who need to create their own home within—will be offensive to some. Slogans (“You are the CEO of the company of YOU”) and some bland exhortations (“Work toward being as secure as possible”) overly simplify complex issues. While Zebian’s personal story is inspiring, readers will be let down by the skimpy advice.
