It’s Not Easy to Be Human

A Compassionate Journey and Guide to Optimize Human Potential, Achieve Fulfillment and Systemic and Ecological Well-Being

“What makes this book stand out is its structure. Built around sixty lessons and a five-stage developmental process, it provides readers with both conceptual insight and practical tools aimed at improving emotional, mental, and even physical well-being. The author introduces her “Mindful Life Optimization” methodology, which encourages readers to examine their internal patterns, biases, and behaviors in order to make more conscious, aligned decisions.”

“Dr. Motaghy doesn’t shy away from the reality that “being human” often feels messy and unresolved; instead, she leans into that discomfort and reframes it as an opportunity for growth. The writing often feels like a blend of coaching, philosophy, and gentle guidance—making it particularly appealing to readers interested in self-development and holistic well-being. For those willing to engage with its layered approach, the book offers a rich and meaningful experience.”
