I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, and came to the United States in 1976 to study psychology. Over time, America became my home, and I later became a U.S. citizen. My professional career has centered on clinical neuropsychology, particularly the evaluation and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders and stroke. I also spent many years teaching and mentoring students in academic settings, including at Northeastern Ohio Medical University. In addition to my clinical work, I have been involved in research on neurological conditions, including hemianopsia, and have written articles and books on a variety of subjects. My interests have always extended beyond psychology. History, anthropology, politics, and culture have long fascinated me, and they continue to shape both my writing and my understanding of human behavior. Much of my work explores the intersection of psychology, leadership, history, and international affairs. Today, I am semi-retired and devote much of my time to writing, reading, painting, producing educational podcasts, and playing the Tar, a traditional Persian instrument. Having lived under very different political and cultural systems, I have developed a deep appreciation for freedom of thought, critical inquiry, and open dialogue. While I do not follow a particular religion, I respect the important role that faith plays in the lives of many people. Above all, I remain curious about the human condition and committed to understanding the forces that shape individuals, societies, and history.
