"إن شاء الله في شارع الضاهر في ساحة المعبد تنشر شجرة الجوافة أريجها" أندا هاريل داجان من قصيدة شاعرة يهودية انتمت إلى حركة "هاشومير هاتسعير" الصهيونية، وظلت رغم هجرتها إلى إسرائيل تشعر بالحنين لحيّها القديم: حي الظاهر

يقول عمر طاهر في هذا الكتاب المؤثر: «لا أشعر بالأسى تجاه الفرص التي أهدرتها، يكلل الامتعاض نظرتي للفرص التي أهدرتني، كنت أدخر لها أفضل مما حصَّلَته بطريقتها… خسارة. لا أعترف بسوء الحظ، وأرى أن كل ما عشته هو الأمثل بالنسبة لقدراتي، وأتقبل وجهة نظر المقربين فيَّ بأنني زاهد وعدمي باعتبارها قصة نجاح، وأود بعد وفاتي أن أتبرع بجسمي للأبحاث التي تفسر الشعور بالامتنان. هل حققت ما أحلم به؟ ربما. لكن الأكيد أنني حققت ما لم أحلم به.» سيرة مؤثرة وعميقة لأحد أفضل كتاب مصر المعاصرين.

“ساعد نفسك لتعيش حياة أفضل. يؤثر علم النفس على كل ما نقوم به، فهو يحدد القرارات التي نتخذها، والعلاقات التي نبنيها، والأدوار التي نؤديها، والأماكن التي نعيش فيها. ويتأثر سلوكنا بشكل أكبر بتغير الفصول، مما يشجع الكثير منا على الوقوع في أنماط غير مفيدة مرارًا وتكرارًا… كل عام. في «عام كي تغير رأيك» تشرح الدكتورة لوسي مادوكس، المتخصصة في علم النفس الإكلينيكي، كيف تؤثر التقلبات النفسية على حياتنا، وتحدد المشكلات الأكثر شيوعًا في كل شهر، وتوضح لنا كيف نستعين بالتفكير في تجارب الماضي، سواء المبهجة أو المؤلمة، والاعتماد على الأفكار المبنية على الأدلة من عالم علم النفس – التي تعلمتها المؤلفة خلال خمسة عشر عامًا من عملها طبيبةً نفسية إكلينيكية – لنتمكن من تعلُّم كيف نعيش حياة أفضل وأكثر وعيًا وإيجابية.”
