The main journey of life begins when you feel lost. Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever encountered those moments of uncertainty where you begin to search, gathering the scattered pieces of yourself, striving for unity with who you truly are? This reminds me of Dr. Viktor Frankl, the renowned psychologist who, while enduring the unimaginable horrors of Auschwitz, discovered the profound human need for meaning and purpose, even in the face of immense suffering. In his seminal work, Man's Search for Meaning, Frankl eloquently described our deep desire not to abandon ourselves, even in our most challenging times.

If this resonates with you, then The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse is another book for you—a joyful read that will help …

Why Radinada?
NOVEMBER 13, 2024


For those who don’t know me:

Hi,

My name is Radin, and I’m an immigrant and the creator of Radinada. If you’re wondering why Radinada, let’s first explore the complex web of immigrant identity.

When you arrive in a new country, especially in your late thirties, you often find yourself outside the circles that connect most communities. There’s no shared history, no common memories, no same sense of language to create humor that bonds you with others.
