Having witnessed the devastation of the Lebanese Civil War first-hand, Alexandra Asseily dedicated herself to addressing the underlying causes of conflict, at both the individual and communal levels, emphasising the transformative power of forgiveness in breaking cycles of violence and hate.

In this book, Asseily distils a lifetime of experience into profound reflections on psychology, work, spirituality, language, community, and nature. With humility and clarity, she offers practical wisdom on navigating difficult emotions, embracing one’s own capacity for love, discovering one’s purpose, and leaving a positive legacy for future generations by healing our own historical wounds.

A manual for life, Asseily’s stories serve as a beacon of guidance for anyone seeking to cultivate emotional resilience and inner peace in a turbulent world. Through her words, readers are invited to embark on a journey of self-discovery and compassion, ultimately finding the keys to a more fulfilling and consequential existence.
