In this diverse world, parents and educators around the globe today face new challenges connecting with raising children. The Nigerian Igbo belief ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ can re-emerge as ‘It takes a multi-cultural perspective in the village that raises a child prepared for the culturally integrated world’. This book offers a multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary, and fresh, global perspective on parenting today by delving deep into the cultural, ethnic, and traditional characteristics of parenting, as well as the latest evidence-based scientific research on parenting a healthy child in every developmental stage for this era. Fascinating topics discussed here include connecting to an infant, potty training toddlers, teaching emotional regulation to preschoolers, task management of school-age children, dramatic transitions of tweens, and communicating effectively with an adolescent.

This book offers a multi-modality step-by-step approach, which synthesizes numerous concepts from cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and body-mind theories for all mental health professionals across the world: Awareness Integration Therapy (AIT).

AIT offers an effective tool to psychotherapists and coaches for supporting their clients to become aware of their inner process, and be accountable for it, as well as their results in all areas of their lives, with the utmost level of care and acceptance. The open-structured, client-centered interventions can be adapted to clients from all races, cultures, and backgrounds around the globe.

This is a must-read for all clinicians and coaches who desire to offer deep therapeutic work in a brief period of time suited for this era.

From conception to active participation, from channeling the font of youthful energy to facing the certainty of death while still filled with a mature zest for life, and from the depth of despair to the highest fulfillment one life can offer, this book places before you the pathway you have always desired but hardly ever thought possible or practicable.  Dr. Zeine’s Life Reset may not offer you a “Silkroad” to success, but it does point to safe and solid passage to a most fulfilling existence that you can make for yourself.

Ahmad Karimi Hakkak, Ph.D., University of Maryland

The contributions of this book go far beyond the field of psychology, with significant potential contributions to business, management, and organizational behavior.  A comprehensive journey of self-discovery, as skillfully crafted in this book, can lead you to a more thorough understanding of what drives you and what your strengths and weaknesses are.  There is growing consensus in the world of business that truly exceptional performance can best be achieved by leveraging your strengths in building your career path and relationships, and by not threading where your innate weaknesses will hold you back.  By helping you methodically develop deep self-awareness, the tools in this book can light your path to find your real calling in life.

Farshad Rafii, Professor Emeritus, Boston College

Dr. Zeine’s new book, Life Reset, is founded upon a solid base of venerable philosophical values and contemporary cognitive psychology. The reader is taken on an extensive and comprehensive investigation of the self, one which promotes the kind of integrated self-awareness necessary for significant personal or psychotherapeutic change.  I am informed and inspired by Dr. Zeine’s sensitive and deeply probing inquiries into the often complicated and nuanced landscapes of self and other relationships.  I highly recommend this book to all who dare to know themselves and their relationships on a deeper and more meaningful level.

Robert Johansen, PhD. Co-Director Cerritos Psychological Center

Dr. Foojan Zeine’s Life Reset breathes fresh air into the field of psychology. Her comprehensive unpacking of the Awareness Integration Model fully empowers the reader to take the driver’s seat in the integration of evidence-based techniques to improve emotional well-being and navigating and releasing the impact of our historical trauma on our ability to utilize such tools, through exploration of the mind-body interplay. I cannot recommend this reading enough, for a journey of complete reset.

Nicole Jafari, EdD, author of A Multidisciplinary, Multicultural Perspective on Child & Adolescent Development

Dr. Zeine has masterfully captured the wisdom of practical life with honor and commitment to one’s self-expression and fulfillment in many areas of our lives.  From self-discovery to relatedness, and general awareness of life as “it is” and as what we would like it “to be”.  Life Reset provides valuable information for creating a journey of distinguishing what we are passionate about and how to create the life which we all desire.  As someone who went through the process, I personally find the Awareness Integration Model very effective, relevant, and practical. I am very glad to see Dr. Zeine has provided access to the wisdom of this model for people to use and enjoy the outcome.
