If ever there was a book of resilience and bravery then this is the book for you. I have wanted to read a book like this for a long time.. someone has validated some of the experiences that I have gone through.. 'Haters will hate, lovers will love and love will prevail..' For anyone in the field on Psychotherapy, counselling, psychiatry, a helping profession..this is a must read.. You literally walk with Dr Hankir on his journey prior to medical school and beyond and see what he faced. Despite facing racism, prejudiced behaviour even by institutions, he still achieved his goal. Its disheartening at times to think people have to endure this to get somewhere in life. He has faced so much discrimination even whilst working and it makes you realise that as a Muslim we often have to work harder to prove ourselves... Dr Hankir is a true empath.. who discusses his mental health and how he had a breakthrough and his desire to help others helped him overcome his mental illness. So Incredibly humble. His wise words 'Never stop believing in yourself, with hard work patience and fortitude...It can be achieved. #hope #resilience #faith #the wounded healer #el sanador herido 'In a world where we can be anything...be kind'
