In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya sits down with Hussein Hallak, author of The Dark Art of Life Mastery, to unpack what it really means to live with clarity, courage, and authenticity. From his journey as a Syrian-born Canadian navigating war, migration, and reinvention, Hussein shares practical insights on mindfulness as a lived practice, not a buzzword. Together, they explore why clarity must start within, how discomfort signals growth, and why authenticity is about becoming yourself rather than simply being yourself. This conversation challenges you to stop waiting for permission and begin shaping life on your own terms—messy, imperfect, and fully alive. About the Guest   Hussein Hallak is a Syrian-born Canadian entrepreneur, writer, and mentor who has spent over two decades helping people make sense of chaos—whether in business, art, or everyday life. His book The Dark Art of Life Mastery offers a raw, honest perspective on stripping away illusions, reclaiming agency, and choosing courage over comfort. Key Takeaways   Clarity starts inward: being clear on values, purpose, and choices is more powerful than clarity about external events. Daily practice: asking “What matters most today?” can transform decision-making and create alignment. Growth requires discomfort: stepping outside comfort zones is where expansion and joy happen. Risk is part of life: the key is managing risks through small, intentional steps rather than avoiding them altogether. Authenticity isn't “being yourself” but choosing who you want to be in each moment, based on your principles. Consistency matters in values and principles, not in external appearances or rigid routines. Courageous living means acting even with fear present, trusting that clarity and direction emerge through action.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Au 19e siècle, la France a un consul pour représenter ses intérêts à Alger : Pierre Deval. Mais l'Empire ottoman, qui contrôle la région, a son gouverneur sur place : le bey d'Alger, Hussein. Le 30 avril 1827, Deval refuse de rembourser un prêt et là, c'est le drame : Hussein met une gifle pas très diplomatique à Deval. Ça en est trop : e roi de France, Charles X, va montrer à ce Barbaresque ce qu'il en coûte d'attenter à l'honneur de la grande nation française ! Bon, ça, c'est la légende. Mais voilà, l'histoire n'aime pas les légendes, et tôt ou tard, elle prend sa revanche ! Il faut donc qu'on se pose une question : en vrai de vrai, pourquoi est-ce qu'on est allé se battre en Algérie ? Qu'est-ce qui a motivé la conquête, puis la colonisation ? Et je vous préviens tout de suite : ça, ça n'est que ma première question, et il y en a plein d'autres qui vont suivre ! Car aujourd'hui, c'est juste le premier épisode d'une série de trois sur l'Algérie !Bonne écoute !

Send us a textWith an ever-growing population, the world has seen a steady rise in the demand for energy.  There is a renewed interest in nuclear power due to its lower carbon footprint when compared to other technologies.In this episode we sit down with Esam Hussein to talk about nuclear engineering.  Esam is a retired nuclear engineer and professor who spent time working in both industry and academia.  During his career, Esam published numerous scientific papers and industrial reports.  He authored three books on radiating science and applications and holds six patents.  He recently finished a monograph on advanced fission reactors, to be published by the American Society for Mechanical Engineering.  In this conversation, Esam discusses his experience as a nuclear engineer and he shares his thoughts on the future for nuclear power.  He also offers advice for young people thinking about pursuing a university education.

This month at Mosaic, we hosted a very important set of conversations, spurred on by a very important essay: “The Enchantment of the Arab Mind,” by the Egyptian-American writer Hussein Aboubakr Mansour. Mansour traces the roots of jihadism to European, and especially German, philosophy, transmitted through 20th-century Arab radicalism. Earlier this week, we broadcast a conversation about the essay with Hussein and two eminent professors: Bernard Haykel from Princeton University and Ze'ev Maghen from Bar-Ilan University. The discussion was at times contentious in the best, and most illuminating, of ways. For anyone interested in intellectual history and the history of the Middle East, this is one of the most fascinating conversations we've ever convened.   Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

Emission C dans l'air du 25 juillet 2025 : Palestine : pourquoi Macron fait polémique C'est une annonce majeure sur la scène diplomatique. La France va reconnaître officiellement l'État de Palestine. Le président Emmanuel Macron, qui s'était engagé en faveur de cette reconnaissance il y a plusieurs mois, a confirmé jeudi soir sur le réseau social X qu'il ferait "une annonce solennelle" devant l'ONU en septembre prochain. Il a invoqué "l'engagement historique de la France en faveur d'une paix juste et durable au Moyen-Orient".Dans le même message, le chef de l'État a souligné "l'urgence" aujourd'hui "que la guerre cesse et que la population civile soit secourue". "Il faut immédiatement un cessez-le-feu, la libération de tous les otages et une aide humanitaire massive à la population de Gaza. Il faut aussi garantir la démilitarisation du Hamas, sécuriser et reconstruire Gaza. Il faut enfin bâtir l'État de Palestine, assurer sa viabilité et permettre qu'en acceptant sa démilitarisation et en reconnaissant pleinement Israël, il participe à la sécurité de tous au Proche-Orient" écrit le chef de l'Etat. Il a par ailleurs adressé une lettre au président de l'Autorité palestinienne, Mahmoud Abbas, pour lui faire part de sa "détermination à aller de l'avant".La réponse palestinienne n'a pas tardé. Le vice-président de l'Organisation de libération de la Palestine (OLP), Hussein al-Cheikh, a salué une "position qui reflète l'attachement de la France au droit international", selon des propos rapportés par la BBC. Mahmoud Abbas a, de son côté, qualifié la décision de "victoire pour la cause palestinienne".En Israël, la réaction a été immédiate et virulente. Le Premier ministre Benyamin Nétanyahou a dénoncé "fermement" cette annonce. "Dans ces conditions, un État palestinien serait un tremplin pour anéantir Israël, et non pour vivre en paix à ses côtés", a-t-il écrit sur X. Le ministre israélien de la Défense, Israël Katz, a pour sa part qualifié la décision française de "honteuse" et de "capitulation face au terrorisme".Allié historique d'Israël, Washington a également rejeté l'initiative. Le secrétaire d'État américain Marco Rubio a dénoncé une décision "imprudente" et un "camouflet pour les victimes du 7 octobre". À l'inverse, plusieurs États arabes ont salué la décision française. Le ministère saoudien des Affaires étrangères a notamment évoqué "une décision historique qui réaffirme le consensus de la communauté internationale sur le droit du peuple palestinien à l'autodétermination et à l'établissement d'un État indépendant sur les frontières de 1967".Sur le territoire national, les réactions sont tout aussi divisées. Le Rassemblement national a dénoncé "une faute politique et morale", tandis qu'à gauche, plusieurs responsables ont salué une "victoire morale" et ont appelé à "des sanctions" contre le gouvernement israélien de Benyamin Netanyahou.Avec cette annonce, la France est le premier pays du G7 à avoir officialisé son intention de reconnaître l'État de Palestine. Pourtant, elle n'est pas seule. La Palestine est déjà reconnue officiellement par 147 États sur les 193 membres de l'ONU, soit près de 75 % des États membres. Depuis mai 2024, l'Espagne, l'Irlande, la Norvège, puis la Slovénie l'ont également fait.Alors, que va changer cette décision ? Pourquoi est-elle historique ? Quels sont les enjeux derrière cette reconnaissance de l'État de Palestine ?LES EXPERTS : - Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste spécialiste des enjeux internationaux, enseignant à Sciences Po- Patricia ALLEMONIÈRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales - Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste international - Franceinfo TV- Richard WERLY - Journaliste, correspondant à Paris du média suisse Blick.ch

Hussein Abdel Hussein, a distinguished research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, joined us today to share his expertise on Middle Eastern politics, particularly focusing on the Druze community and regional dynamics. As a leading authority on the subject, Hussein brings extensive knowledge about the complexities of Syrian politics, inter-community relations, and the broader geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. His insights have been particularly valuable in understanding the current situation facing the Druze community, their defensive mindset, and the intricate relationships between various regional powers. Hussein’s deep understanding of Middle Eastern sovereignty challenges and his experience in analyzing regional conflicts makes him uniquely qualified to address the complex issues facing Syria and its minority communities. Druze Community and Israeli Intervention The meeting focused on the situation in Syria, particularly the Druze community and Israel’s intervention to protect them. Hussein Abdel Hussein, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, explained the unique characteristics of the Druze, including their defensive mindset and loyalty to their host countries. He emphasized that the recent violence in Syria was not initiated by the Druze, who were instead defending themselves against invaders. The discussion highlighted the complexities of Middle Eastern politics and the challenges of prioritizing democratic elections and individual rights in a region with a different cultural and societal focus. Druze Plight and Shara’s Leadership Hussain discussed the situation in Syria, focusing on the Druze community’s plight and the actions of the new leader, Ahmad Shara, who previously had ties to Al-Qaeda. He criticized the approach of giving Islamists financial support, citing past failures, and emphasized the need for conditions to be set for Shara to gain trust. Hussain praised Israel’s intervention to protect the Druze and expressed frustration with Western countries, particularly the UK and France, for not supporting the Druze and for their previous role in backing Shara. He also highlighted the importance of shared power and concessions from Shara to ensure the safety of minority groups in Syria. Syria Post-Assad Governance Strategy Hussain and Shoshana discussed the situation in Syria, emphasizing the lack of a concrete plan for post-Assad governance. Hussain argued that the U.S. and its allies could support non-Islamist factions like the Druze, Kurds, and Christians without direct military involvement, focusing on diplomatic and economic support. They highlighted the roles of Turkey, Qatar, and Iran in supporting Sunni Islamists and the need to exclude these countries from any reconstruction plan. Hussain proposed aligning with allies like the UAE, Kuwait, Morocco, Israel, and Cyprus to create a stable, inclusive Syria under Assad’s presidency, with concessions made to him in exchange for cooperation. Druze Attacks: Turkish-Israeli Proxy War Hussain discussed the brutal attacks on the Druze in Syria, highlighting the involvement of two major clans from the northeast, Gaddat and Naim, which he believes were orchestrated by Syrian intelligence and Turkish interests, rather than being a simple tribal revenge. Shoshana raised questions about whether Al-Shara was directing these attacks and expressed skepticism about the possibility of a lasting peace if the attackers are true Islamists. Hussain explained that the main driver of the conflict in Syria is the competition between Turkey and Israel, and he suggested that the attack on the Druze was part of Turkey’s strategy to establish a foothold on the border with Israel. US-Turkey-Qatar Relations: Strategic Challenges Shoshana and Hussain discussed the complex dynamics between the US, Turkey, and Qatar, highlighting the challenges of balancing relations with Turkey as a NATO ally while addressing concerns about its and Qatar’s support for groups like Hamas. Hussain emphasized the need for an honest conversation with Turkey and Qatar, expressing frustration with their double-standard policies and calling for sanctions or confrontation if they continue undermining US interests. Shoshana raised questions about the US’s approach to negotiations with Hamas and Qatar, expressing skepticism about their willingness to align with US interests. Both participants expressed disappointment with the lack of action from Saudi Arabia and other Arab Gulf states in addressing regional issues, particularly in Syria and Lebanon, and questioned the effectiveness of current strategies in the region. Middle East Sovereignty Challenges Hussain and Shoshana discussed the challenges of self-determination and sovereignty in the Middle East, highlighting inconsistencies in how different groups are treated. They explored how nation-states have been imposed on various populations, with Hussain noting that the Gulf region’s success may be due to its organic evolution compared to forced European ideas in other areas. They agreed that the West cannot force these concepts on others but can offer guidance and suggestions. Hussain optimistically viewed Israel’s recent actions as creating a window of opportunity for positive change in the region. This recap was generate by computer.

Dans l'Antiquité, au cœur du croissant fertile, la Syrie a été le berceau de la civilisation et de l'agriculture grâce à l'Euphrate. Mais aujourd'hui, le niveau de sécheresse est alarmant, les pluies ayant été rares cet hiver. De nombreux Syriens vivent ou survivent en comptant chaque goutte d'eau. Huit mois après la chute du régime, l'avenir de la Syrie reste intimement lié à celui de l'eau. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Aatchané et Barada, En Syrie, à 50 km au sud d'Alep, dans le village d'Aatchané dont le nom signifie littéralement « l'assoiffée » en arabe, Assaad Faiz al Moustapha a l'habitude de cultiver des fèves, du blé et de l'avoine. Mais cette année, les champs sont désespérément arides. « À cause de la sécheresse et du manque d'eau, les terres sont rouges. Regardez cette plante. D'autres ne sont même pas sorties. Elles arrivent à cette taille et elles meurent. Ici, j'ai planté une tonne de blé, avec de l'engrais. On a beaucoup investi, on a tout labouré. Tout cela pour rien », déplore l'agriculteur, tenant en main des brindilles desséchées. Quand l'eau des nappes phréatiques manque, Assaad et ses voisins irriguent avec l'eau des égouts, mais même celle-ci s'est évaporée. Pour survivre, les 150 familles du village doivent acheter leur eau à 25 km à une entreprise privée. Chaque citerne coûte l'équivalent de 50 euros et ne dure que 10 jours. « L'eau est chère, très chère. C'est une souffrance. Oui, pour ce qui est de l'eau, une souffrance pour tout le monde », se désole Assaad Faiz al Moustapha. Aatchané devait bénéficier d'un projet national d'irrigation, mais la guerre a tout arrêté. « Avant, on recevait de l'eau de la rivière Qouweiq et même de l'Euphrate, mais ce n'est plus le cas cette année. Ils nous ont promis de rénover les systèmes de pompage. Pourvu que ce soit fait le plus vite possible. La vie sans agriculture, sans eau, est vraiment difficile », raconte Hussein el-Moustapha, le voisin et oncle d'Assaad, qui espère que les nouvelles autorités reprendront le dossier.  Privés de revenus, de nombreux agriculteurs émigrent vers les villes. Mais à Damas, l'eau est aussi comptée. À la station de Barada qui approvisionne la capitale syrienne, le Comité international de la Croix Rouge (CICR) craint de graves pénuries. « D'habitude, l'eau se trouve à 13 mètres de profondeur dans les puits, mais depuis un an, à cause du manque de pluie, le niveau est tombé à 30 mètres. L'ensemble du système est dans une situation critique. Il va falloir beaucoup d'efforts et d'interventions pour l'empêcher de s'effondrer », détaille Sleiman Chakkour, responsable eau et habitat au CICR. L'organisme compte réhabiliter ces infrastructures délaissées pendant 15 ans de guerre. La Syrie traverse déjà l'un des étés les plus secs de son histoire. Un défi de plus pour la population et le nouveau pouvoir, la sécheresse étant l'un des facteurs qui avait entraîné les manifestations de 2011.

Send us a textIn this profoundly insightful episode of the Self-Reflection Podcast, Lira sits down with serial entrepreneur, author, and venture coach Hussein Hallak, who shares his incredible journey from a challenging upbringing in Damascus, Syria, to building over 20 ventures and mentoring thousands. Hussein recounts how a lack of resources and a desire to support his family propelled him into entrepreneurship, forcing him to learn by trial and error in a time before the internet and business books were accessible. He reveals how the simple mantra of "taking action is better than doing nothing" became the cornerstone of his success, a lesson that was validated years later by one of the world's top incubators.Diving deep into the philosophy behind his book, "The Dark Art of Life Mastery," Hussein challenges the modern obsession with the mere appearance of success. He argues that true life mastery isn't found in material wealth or accolades but in one simple, profound word: joy. The conversation unpacks how to cultivate this inner joy, not as a fleeting feeling, but as a direct result of living a life of conscious choice. Hussein provides a powerful framework for understanding that even when faced with difficult circumstances, the ability to choose your response and your present reality is the ultimate source of personal power and contentment.This episode is a masterclass in navigating life's inherent uncertainty. Hussein shares practical, actionable steps for overcoming procrastination, dealing with the past, and shifting from a survival mindset to one of intentional action. He also speaks beautifully about the role of partnership, sharing how his 30-year relationship with his wife has been built on mutual accountability and demanding the best from one another. This is a timely and necessary conversation that offers a powerful antidote to the chaos of the modern world, reminding us that by taking ownership of our choices, we can find peace and purpose, no matter the storm.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Hen over sommeren vikarierer Rune Lykkeberg for Anna von Sperling på Radio Information. I dagens afsnit taler han med to af redaktørerne bag en ny bog, der bringer ti personlige vidnesbyrd om, hvad det vil sige at være palæstinenser i Danmark --- Hvad vil det sige at være palæstinenser i Danmark? Det seneste års offentlige debat har vist, at det har været svært for vores statsminister og mange andre at anerkende, at de palæstinensere, der er i Danmark, er danskere ligesom alle andre og skal omfattes med samme solidaritet og minimum af sympati. Man kan begræde, at det ikke falder naturligt, men det nytter ikke noget. Det, der nytter, er at dele historier og livsfortællinger med hinanden. Tidligere på året udkom en vigtig bog med titlen Palæstinenseren. Den består af ti personlige vidnesbyrd om, hvad det vil sige at være palæstinenser i Danmark. Hvordan dén identitet både kan være en byrde og en kilde til stolthed. Og hvilke store historier, der gemmer sig i den – men også hvilke krav og forventninger, som følger med. I denne uges sommersamtale taler Rune Lykkeberg med to af redaktører bag bogen om deres erfaringer som dansk-palæstinensere. Gæsterne er: Journalist Layal Freije, der bl.a. er radiovært på programmet Gaza FM på Radio IIII og skriver om Mellemøsten for Information. Hendes bedsteforældre kommer fra Al-Khalisa. Og jurist Tarek Ziad Hussein, der er direktør for Dansk Flygtningehjælp Ungdom (DFUNK) og bl.a. forfatter til bogen Det sorte skæg. Tareks familie stammer fra Sha'ab på farens side og Sheikh Danun på morens side. Palæstinenseren - Personlige refleksioner over arven fra Palæstina udkom på Gads Forlag tidligere i år og kan købes i enhver boghandler.

Önce Hackney, ardından Islington Belediye Meclisi üyelikleri, kabine görevleri ve sosyal hizmet alanında liderlik… 1982'de İngiltere'de Türk ve Kürt göçmen kadınlar için ilk Türkçe konuşulan kadın merkezini, İmece'yi kuruyor. Siyasetin en yerelden en üst düzeyine uzanan bu yolda, hem etnik azınlıkların sesi olmuş hem de kadınların güçlenmesi için sahada yer almış. Yaptığı çalışmalarla, 2009'da Kraliçe Elizabeth tarafından Order of British Empire'a layık görülüyor, Baroness ünvanı veriliyor ve Hpuse of Lords'a atanıyor. Hala Afgan kadın gazeteciler, akademisyenler ve mültecilere destek veren projelerde ön saflarda yer alıyor ve İngiltere'de sosyal hareketliliği artırmak ve eşitsizliklerle mücadele etmek adına kurulan komitelerde aktif görev alıyor.Bu bölümde Meral Hanım'la hem siyasi kariyerini hem de 80'ler ve 90'larda İngiltere'de bir azınlık mensubu ve kadın olarak bu başarılarının zorluğunu konuştuk. Bu bölüm, İngiltere ve İrlanda'da öğrenci konaklaması için en iyi imkanları sunan GoBritanya'nın katkılarıyla sizlere buluşuyor. 2013'ten beri öğrencilere konaklama çözümleri sunan GoBritanya, özellikle uluslararası öğrencilerin ilk tercihi olmaya devam ediyor.

Nicole F. Watts's Republic of Dreams: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Struggles, and the Future of Iraqi Kurdistan (NYU Press, 2025) is a harrowing portrait of Iraqi Kurdistan and its history, as it weathers Hussein's genocidal campaign against the Kurds, a civil war, the US invasion of Iraq, the Arab Spring, and the sustained neglect of the city of Halabja. Watts, a former journalist and now professor of political science, has spent over a decade researching the struggles of the Kurdish people in Iraq, and in vivid, lyrical prose, she tells their story through the eyes of Peshawa, a young Muslim Kurd whose family barely survived the bombing and then fled for their lives.Throughout the book, the thread of Peshawa's story immerses readers in the everyday and extraordinary world of Iraqi Kurds between the late 1980s and 2022, exploring the meaning of home and dislocation in the wake of war and genocide.Based on over a hundred in-depth interviews with Iraqi Kurdish activists, journalists, elected officials, and community organizers, and hundreds of hours of conversations with Peshawa and his family, Republic of Dreams brings to vivid life the story of modern Kurdistan, and the Kurdish national dream to have their own homeland.

Under föreläsningen reflekterar Hussein Hamad över frågan:”Har vi anledning att vara hoppfulla trots vår tveklösa förestående död och om svaret är jakande, varför?”Hussein Hamad gräver djupt efter svar i Koranens mäktiga surat al-'Asr (Tiden) och går tillbaka till den romerska filosofen Seneca för paralleller till vad som botar hopplöshet och bidrar till ett meningsfullt kvarvarande hopp. Detta blir sista avsnittet för säsong 13. Vi är tillbaka med nya avsnitt den 11 augusti 2025, inshAllah.

I'm back. Maybe. The sad truth about the animal crossing bridge on the 101. Starbucks probably got rid of their brownie, because it was my favorite treat from there, and anything that I like in this life will be systematically taken away from. (Like TGI Fridays) The two-cookie conundrum. Restaurant workers that don't put utensils in their Doordash orders should literally be dragged to hell. I put up 265, no sweat! The untapped potential of Cyril Rampahosa. You thought “Diddy parties” were rough, wait til you hear about Hussein parties! Deadguy is still bringin it.

Note: there is a part at the beginning of the episode that will sound like we left in an editing mistake, but we assure you……….it's intentional. It's Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November, checking in with Jan Marsalek (to an extent), hearing about an orb that can tell if you're a chatbot or not, and reviewing Janice Turner's absolutely bananas article about ‘the lanyard class.' Apparently we did too much corporate CYA training and now the only recourse is to do full fascism. Or something?

Notes on the Crises' Nathan Tankus returns to talk to Riley about 100 days of DOGE, and the catastrophic risks those broccoli haired little rascals pose the entire global financial system, in addition to the moral depravity of the whole enterprise. In the first half, Riley, Milo, and Hussein discuss yet more in the “AI will replace the human soul” file, and call a winner in the interim Starmer-Trump 2025 capitulation contest… but finals are still all to play for!

The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, and more all-American animated adult tv comedies have graced our screens for decades, mercilessly interrogating the all-American life and if it's all it's cracked up to be. But rarely do we get one of these series from an Arab and Muslim perspective, until now with Ramy Youssef and Pam Brady's #1 Happy Family USA, featuring the Egyptian-American Hussein family, including young insecure Rumi (Ramy Youssef), his wildly insecure father Hussein (also Ramy Youssef), his caring and overburdened mother Sharia (Salma Hindy), overachieving and closeted older sister Mona (Alia Shawkat), conservative Grandpa (Azhar Usman), and niqabi and free-spirited Grandma (Randa Jarrar). Set in the early 2000s in New Jersey, right around an astronomically horrible national event, we watch the Hussein family deal with the outlandish racism, surveillance, and Islamophobia every single day, and their own outlandish efforts to deal with it. All characters and the animation style were designed by Iraqi-British data journalist Mona Chalabi. Joined by our friend Nadia Osman, we discuss the series and why it's a landmark for SWANA and Muslim representation, the great casting news about Lee Cronin's The Mummy, give our recommendations, and much more.   Spoilers for all of #1 Happy Family USA throughout   Donate to Anera  Donate to help Sudanese people feeling geopolitical violence Support the Palestinian American Medical Association (PAMA) and families in Gaza Islamic Relief USA: Support Families in Palestine   Our music is composed by Ashley Hefnawy.

This week, Riley interviews disability activist and Manchester Metropolitan University professor Dr Lucy Burke about upcoming Labour policy changes to enact even more cruelty against the disabled under the guise of ‘combatting benefits culture.'

After a young woman is found dead, police are quick to identify her killer. Gathering the proof wasn't quite as fast. A phone, a camera, and a police informant would prove pivotal to this case. View source material and photos for this episode at: anatomyofmurder.com/the-stingCan't get enough AoM?
