Glow Inside & Out

They lift up the heaviness in our chests when navigating through obstacles and challenges in our journey towards the eternal destination; akhirah.

Inspired by the scientific input from Positive Psychology and understandings from the al-Quran and Sunnah, Glow Inside & Out presents to you 10 steps to rejuvenate your happiness and well-being. If following the 10-step Korean skincare routine can give you radiant “glass skin”, then the author is hopeful that the 10 main insights from this book could ignite the spark to your inner glow.
You Are Deserving: Reviving Belief in Your Own Worthiness
At any point in life, have you ever felt like you don’t deserve anything? ‘I’m suck at this project. I shouldn’t be the one to lead it.’ ‘I don’t deserve love or anyone.’ ‘Am I worthy?’ ‘Am I good enough?’ The feeling of unworthiness sprouts from one root cause: INSECURITIES. As human beings, we share certain collective experiences and thoughts revolving around self-worth and the feeling of deservingness. Through this book, readers will be transported back to Prophet Musa As’s time – before and during his prophethood. The story of Prophet Musa AS transcends time and cultural boundaries, speaking directly to the universal human experience, making it worth to ponder. Just like Prophet Musa AS, you too are deserving of anything that this world has to offer.

Through this book, the author shares a snippet of the sharp and painful truth about what it feels like living with mental illness while dealing with biased community around us. There is more to mental health than just self-love and self-care. It has been truly liberating to be able to understand more about what we are experiencing, accepting ourselves, and be more compassionate.

Making Art Out of Pain
‘Is it possible for beautiful things to come from a place of hurt and disappointment?’ A beautiful life is not always one that goes on smoothly.

Life Full of Reading
A quite afternoon, a cozy chair, a warm cup of coffee, and a good book—these are the perfect description of moments that should be cherished in this short life. Carl Sagan once said that reading is magical, that it enables humans from different epoch to talk to each other; it is more than that.

This book is a compilation of book reviews written over the years. The book was broken into two parts, the first part is the long reviews, the second part is the short reviews, which covered a wide range of genre from economics, self-help, novels, comic book to political philosophy and parenting.

Renegotiating Boundaries
For decades almost the only social scientists who visited Indonesia’s provinces were anthropologists. Anybody interested in politics or economics spent most of their time in Jakarta, where the action was. Our view of the world’s fourth largest country threatened to become simplistic, lacking that essential graininess. Then, in 1998, Indonesia was plunged into a crisis that could not be understood with simplistic tools. After 32 years of enforced stability, the New Order was at an end. Things began to happen in the provinces that no one was prepared for. Democratization was one, decentralization another. Ethnic and religious identities emerged that had lain buried under the blanket of the...
