Reza Zolfagharifard
I am a retired positive psychology practitioner (2015-2025) with decades of experience in teaching, training, consulting and coaching. I have helped many individuals fulfil their aspirations, achieve positive change and thrive. I have provided life coaching to individuals and groups, as well as management and positive psychology consultancy and corporate training to various organisations.
My Favourite Books
I love reading, though I am not a fast or brilliant reader. I read to learn and understand new or complex concepts. I like books written in clear, uncomplicated prose.
My interests include psychology, sociology (the human condition), humanism, cosmology, and physics. This post lists my favourite books that explain the essential topics many people get wrong.
My Favourite Poems
Good poems (or songs) are characterised by strong vocabulary, vivid imagery, impactful rhythm and sound, an engaging message, and the ability to evoke suppressed emotions and transport the reader to new paradigms. This transition is often achieved through figurative language and precise details, creating a meaningful and memorable experience.
