Finding Home
Can one find happiness after a lifetime of struggles? How would it really feel to have a place to call your own; a place where you belong, a place you call ‘home’?
Born in Burma, raised in East Pakistan, and coming of age in Karachi, Amiri recounts his extraordinary life experiences as he navigated war, PTSD, love, and racism to find his place in the world. This book presents a powerful social commentary on the world's norms, prejudices, and the struggle to find belonging in a multicultural society.
Amiri also sheds light on some lessons he had learned in life. He talks about being patient and not judging others impulsively. He lays emphasis on trying to understand the other person’s view and taking into consideration where they come from. He advises people to show empathy toward one another and participate in human services (something he instructed his daughters to do as well) so as to make the world a better place. He believes that living a life of service to others is the key to happiness and fulfillment.
As a passionate advocate for multiculturalism and respect for diversity, Amiri also believes that people should be accepted and respected for who they are, regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity, or skin color. He shares his own personal struggles as an immigrant who faced discrimination and now works to help others find their own paths.
This memoir is a must-read for anyone looking for inspiration and guidance on their own journey. Join Iqbal Amiri as he recounts his life story and shares the valuable lessons he learned along the way in his book 'Finding Home.'

Best book to motivate a man to embrace challenges in his life because in today's generation and the upcoming generation it is necessary to motivate them cause men today are becoming weak and because in the past men used to lie about their age to fight in wars and today's men freak out when they don't find their pen vapes or when a girl doesn't reply to their messages but if you look at Iqbal Amiri's life you will get to know how he faced challenges and hard times in his life bravely without any support he made a comeback in his life after reaching the bottom and became successful in his life and achieved everything he wanted. If you guys ask for my opinion it is a must read for everybody for a life lesson

this book is a powerful testament to the human capacity for resilience and the trans-formative power of education.What makes this book so compelling is the author's unflinching honesty and vulnerability. He shares her struggles with abuse, neglect, and trauma, and how he ultimately found the courage to break away from her family's restrictive and harmful beliefs. The author's journey to gain an education and transcend her upbringing is truly inspiring and serves as a reminder that anything is possible with perseverance and determination.
