Reza, The Author
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.
Logo and Tagline
The website name “Homo Sum” (homosum. UK) is inspired by Terrence’s quote, “Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto” (I am human, and nothing human is alien to me), which I have also chosen as the tagline (motto) of the website. In that respect, I am using a circular drawing of the Vitruvian Man (overlaid by Terrence’s quote) as the website logo because of their connection to humanism.

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.
