What I Teach
My teaching spans a wide range of disciplines, each deeply rooted in my life’s work as a philosopher, psychologist, and scholar of Persian mysticism. My approach is both timeless and timely, bridging ancient wisdom with modern understanding:
- Philosophy and Life Philosophy– Exploring the fundamental questions of existence, selfhood, freedom, and human potential. My approach to life philosophy emphasizes clarity, self-mastery, and the courage to live authentically.
- Self-Awareness and Personal Growth– Guiding individuals to see themselves clearly, break free from limiting beliefs, and overcome cognitive distortions. This involves deep reflection, self-inquiry, and practical exercises for emotional resilience and personal empowerment.
- Philosophical Psychology– Integrating philosophical insights with modern psychological understanding, I offer a profound exploration of the mind, consciousness, and the human experience. This includes metacognition, emotional intelligence, and the intricate dance between thought and feeling.
- Mental Health and Wellbeing– Connecting ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practices, I provide tools for overcoming emotional barriers, building healthy relationships, and achieving psychological growth and balance.
- Rumi, Mysticism, and Persian Philosophy– As a Rumi scholar, I guide students through the profound cognitive and mystical insights of this revered poet, exploring themes of love, self-awareness, spiritual freedom, and the art of living fully.
- Persian Culture, Poetry, and Literature– Introducing students to the rich intellectual and artistic heritage of Persian thought, revealing its deep philosophical insights and its capacity to illuminate the human condition.
How I Teach
My teaching is reflective, deeply engaging, and aimed at inspiring personal transformation. It draws on a diverse range of methods, including:
- Socratic Dialogue and Reflective Inquiry– Encouraging students to question their own assumptions, confront their biases, and discover their own insights rather than passively absorbing information.
- Storytelling and Symbolism– Using rich metaphors, allegories, and real-life examples to make complex ideas more relatable and emotionally impactful.
- Philosophical and Psychological Frameworks– Blending Eastern and Western traditions, I draw on cognitive science, philosophy, and mystical insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of the human mind and spirit.
- Multicultural and Cross-Contextual Perspectives– Bridging cultural and philosophical divides, making my teachings relevant and accessible to a wide range of audiences.
- Practical Application and Real-Life Integration– Emphasizing that philosophical and psychological insights should not remain abstract but should lead to real, lasting change in one’s life.
