Have you ever read a book or watched a film that has stayed with you for a lot longer than it should have? Ever resonated on a personal level to the media you watch or the books you read? Kaiynath is back with another episode on literature and discusses how McEwan's 'Atonement' novel has touched her since the first time she read it and a personal opinion - the books are always better than the movies but the movie to this one did a pretty good job. Here are 3 reasons (alongside a bit of fangirling) why everyone should read this novel and how it's got a bit of cheeky psychology behind it too.

The number of people suffering from some aspect of imposter syndrome has recently increased, with up to 20% of most university students suffering from self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. Kaiynath discusses the research surrounding the phenomenon and focuses on how early upbringing and different family dynamics play into this condition in later adulthood life. 

Kaiynath is back with another episode and this time, she talks about a recent failure she experienced, how she felt and what she learned from it. With passages from her novel and Dr. A'id al-Qarni's 'Don't Be Sad' book, she sums up her failure, what caused it and how it changed things around for her once she reflected on the lessons it taught her and ultimately, in the end, even showed gratitude for it!

"Allah is the best of planners."

As Muslims, it is a phrase we hear often and are reminded of from time to time. Kaiynath discusses how this reminder has changed the way she perceives life and situations and how if we integrate this into the way we approach decision-making, we will find comfort in knowing our Creator knows what is best for us and everything is a part of Allah's decree.
