Meen Qaal depicts family, choices, and adolescence + Enjoy Ramadan in the desert + The stories you tell yourself change the way you see the world

Meen Qaal captures that adolescent phase where you feel like you’re (permanently) choosing your entire future: The Ramadan series features Ahmed Dash and Gamal Soliman as a son and father who butt heads over what the former will study at university. Soliman depicts a traditional Egyptian father who wants his son to pursue engineering after he gets the grades that qualify him to enter the discipline. Dash is crushed by the decision, showing early on in the TV show that he has an entrepreneurial spirit and would rather study business. Meen Qaal shows a very real depiction of that indecisive time and all the stress and pressure that comes with it. We found ourselves relating to the show while also being proud of how far we’ve come over the (many, many) years when it comes to decision making. It’s a light series and the actors play the parts with skill and humor.

The stories you tell yourself change the way you see the world: Choose Your Story, Change Your Life by Kindra Hall explains how the way you describe situations and events in your head — the stories you tell yourself — impacts the way you view yourself and the world around you. Since the person you’ll talk to most during life is yourself, Hall poses a new way to do it that won’t leave you stuck in a single instant but will instead propel you forward. This includes looking at what you learned from interactions and giving yourself a pat on the back every once in a while.
