Summary

From the celebrated poet, speaker, and educator comes a powerful blueprint for healing by building a home within yourself。

In her debut book of inspiration, poet Najwa Zebian shares her revolutionary concept of home--the place of safety where you can embrace your vulnerability and discover your self-worth。 It's the place where your soul feels like it belongs, where you are loved for who you are。 Too many of us build our homes in other people in the hope that they will deem us worthy of being welcomed inside, and then we feel abandoned and empty when those people leave。 Building your home inside yourself--and never experiencing inner homelessness again--begins here。

In Welcome Home, Zebian shares her personal story for the first time, powerfully weaving memoir, poetry, and deeply resonant teachings into her storytelling, from leaving Lebanon at sixteen, to coming of age as a young Muslim woman in Canada, to building a new identity for herself as she learned to speak her truth。 After the profound alienations she experienced, she learned to build a stable foundation inside herself, an identity independent of cultural expectations and the influence of others。 The powerful metaphor of home provides a structure for personal transformation as she shows you how to construct the following rooms: Self-Love, Forgiveness, Compassion, Clarity, Surrender, and The Dream Garden。 With practical tools and prompts for self-understanding, she shows you how to build each room in your house, which form a firm basis for your self-worth, sense of belonging, and happiness。

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。 Every human deserves their own home。 Welcome Home provides the life-changing tools for building that inner space of healing and solace。

I went into this book unfamiliar with the author or the story and it surprised me。 Zebian's story is one of struggle and heartbreak and finding herself - and being stronger because of it all。 I thought this would be a memoir of sorts but instead I found it woven with very helpful practical tools for unpacking and rebuilding myself for MYSELF。 I feel like I need a side of therapy with this book just to fully grasp all that she explains and leads you through。 The prompts for journaling and meditat I went into this book unfamiliar with the author or the story and it surprised me。 Zebian's story is one of struggle and heartbreak and finding herself - and being stronger because of it all。 I thought this would be a memoir of sorts but instead I found it woven with very helpful practical tools for unpacking and rebuilding myself for MYSELF。 I feel like I need a side of therapy with this book just to fully grasp all that she explains and leads you through。 The prompts for journaling and meditation are some that I feel like I need to work into a daily practice of reminding myself of who I am so as not to let anyone else take over。I was especially smitten with her house building analogy since this is the way I have imagined my own life and growth over the last few years。 This is not a light read by any means but it is definitely worth the effort - to hear her story and to learn your own。Thank you to the publisher and author for sending the eARC via NetGalley in exhange for my honest review! 。。。more

This book found me when I needed it most。I would like to preface this that I rarely read any type of Nonfiction or Self-Help books。 They are not my preferred genre, so I typically avoid them。 But I am so glad that I picked this up and I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to do so as well。This book is about self-worth, self-love, and putting yourself first。 If you ever catch yourself basing your happiness on someone else, read this book。 If you ever catch yourself basing your happiness on the This book found me when I needed it most。I would like to preface this that I rarely read any type of Nonfiction or Self-Help books。 They are not my preferred genre, so I typically avoid them。 But I am so glad that I picked this up and I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to do so as well。This book is about self-worth, self-love, and putting yourself first。 If you ever catch yourself basing your happiness on someone else, read this book。 If you ever catch yourself basing your happiness on the opinions of others, read this book。 For countless other reasons, READ THIS BOOK!
