it took me a long time to finish this book and i have very very very mixed feeling. were there is a beautiful and genuine good story, i feel like the essence of this book was a bit wobbly. this is a non-fictional story with a hit of stories from the live of najwa. Since self-publishing her first collection of poetry and prose in 2016, Najwa has become an inspiration to millions of people worldwide.

It moved me. It taught me the importance of self worth and self awareness. Chances are, you’d do whatever you could to make them feel better. You’d sit them down and find a painkiller for their headache. You’d ask them about their day at work. You’d tell them that it’s going to be alright. You’d do these things because you love them. Little did I know that by helping them heal, I was healing my eight-yearold self who was told to stay behind. I was healing my sixteen-year-old selfb>From the celebrated poet, speaker, and educator comes a powerful blueprint for healing by building a home within yourself.

“A master class in self-actualization and compassion.”—Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet?

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.

Every human deserves their own home. 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. If you ever get the chance to treat them the way they treated you, I hope you choose to walk away and do better.” Forgiveness:Learn how to allow yourself time, reflection, and space to accept and let go of painful events.

For anyone who has ever asked ‘How do I find myself?’ or ‘How do I forgive myself?’ or ‘How do I learn to love myself?’ Najwa has your answers. She’s written us a lovely guide that teaches us how to find home within ourselves—what a gift.” — New York Times bestselling author Mari Andrew Do not constantly walk through life in defense mode. When your boundaries are violated, respond. Do not react. I was really intrigued by the title when I saw this book. And the start of the book did give me something new to dwell on; however, after a few chapters, the book became very repetitive and she was adding in the findings of other books and incorporating her life lessons to make a link somehow which didn't feel very authentic. I have tried to read self-help books before, after a point, I could not connect with them anymore. I realized it's because there is so much emphasis given to external validation directly or indirectly.Our skies don't become grey out of nowhere, our sunshine does not allow the darkness to take over for no reason. If you sometimes feel lost, helpless, or broken, you’re not alone. What you need – what we all need – is a home. Not a house, a home: a place where you feel safe, seen, and loved. Before you give love to someone in any form, ask yourself, Is my intention to truly love this person? Or is it to receive validation that my love is worth it?
