Please Be Human!

A long reflective book by the Iranian author Mahmoud Nameni, written with Reza Amanollahi. Its subject is the heart: love, kindness and humanity as the centre of a good life, something the authors feel people have long neglected. Mixing personal reflections with poems and sayings, it encourages readers to read slowly and reread, with the aim of waking up, not passing time. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).

Author: Mahmoud Nameni, Reza Amanollahi
