اقترح الكتاب ويدير الحوار حازم ابراهيم الكتاب يتوفر مطبوعا والكترونيا (يرجى متابعة الرابط للتفاصيل) صدرت في السنوات القليلة الماضيّة عشرات الكتب التي تحمل عناوين: "كن قويّا"، "كوني قويّة"، "كيف تكون إنسانًا قويًّا؟"، "كيف تبني شخصيّة قويّة؟"، "كن قويًّا بالإيمان"، إلخ... لكن... بصرف النظر عن تلك الكتب، وعمّا يقوله الأطباء والمحلّلون النفسانيون، وخبراء التنمية البشرية، والواعظون... فإنّ الفلسفة، بمعناها العميق والأصيل، تقول شيئًا آخر: لا تحاول أن تكون قويًا، لا تحاول أن تظهر بمظهر القوّة، لا تحاول أن تتحكّم في كل الأمور المحيطة بك... فالحياة لا تقوم على القوة بل على الأسلوب، وعلى التكيّف، وعلى المرونة. القوّة منزع ذكوريّ، وإيديولوجيّ، إنه وهمٌ بدائيٌّ، لا يزال كامنًا في لا وعي الإنسان من حياته البدائية، يظهر جليًا في معارك السلطة والحظوة والشهرة والدين، إلّا أنه وهمٌ يُضيّع متعة الأسلوب والتفاصيل، ويُدمّر جودة الحياة. إنه ينهك روحك، يستنزف جسدك ويُسبب الشقاء للكثيرين. هذا الكتاب الذي يحمل رسائل إلى الذين يعتبرون أنفسهم المعذبين في الأرض... وغير المحظوظين... والضعفاء... هو محاولة لبرهنة أن ليس في الضعف أي مشكلة؛ بل المشكلة في اعتبار أن الضعف هو المشكلة. وهو أيضًا دليلك لأجل أن تتصالح مع ضعفك، وأن تستثمر الطاقة الكامنة والهائلة في كل نقاط ضعفك إذا كنت لا تريد أن تخسر معارك حياتك. نقد القوة: رسائل فلسفيّة إلى الضعفاء - سعيد ناشيد دار التنوير ٢٠٢٤ [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/240707522](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/240707522) نقد القوة: رسائل فلسفيّة إلى الضعفاء- سعيد ناشيد ‏اقرأ الكتاب على تطبيق ابجد https://www.abjjad.com/book/2817654792 كيف أحصل على الكتاب؟ مكتبة غاف التواصل عن طريق الموبايل او الواتس اب +971527798773 سعيد (متجر لتوصيل الكتب داخل الإمارات) التواصل عن طريق الموبايل او الواتس اب +971508386699 تطبيق أبجد على الآيفون والآندرويد [https://www.abjjad.com/](https://www.abjjad.com/) Kinokuniya [https://uae.kinokuniya.com/](https://uae.kinokuniya.com/) مؤسسة هنداوي [https://www.hindawi.org](https://www.hindawi.org) Storytel [https://www.storytel.com](https://www.storytel.com) نيل وفرات المتجر الاكتروني للكتب [https://www.neelwafurat.com/](https://www.neelwafurat.com/) وراقون المتجر الاكتروني للكتب [https://wrraqoon.com/](https://wrraqoon.com/) Google Play الكتب على متجر [https://play.google.com/store/books](https://play.google.com/store/books) Amazon الكتب على متجر [https://www.amazon.ae/](https://www.amazon.ae/) Virgin الكتب على متجر [https://www.virginmegastore.ae/](https://www.virginmegastore.ae/) Iqraa shelves on goodreads [https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/44694](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/44694) Iqraa on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/iqraaarabicdubai/](https://www.instagram.com/iqraaarabicdubai/) Iqraa on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArabicBookClubDubai](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArabicBookClubDubai)

Any requests made via WhatsApp might not be considered for session sign-ups. * **Late Backouts:** Backing out within 9 hours of the session is considered a late backout. You will be required to pay the session fee in full, even if a replacement is found. * **No-Shows:** If you fail to show up without notice, you must still pay for the session. * **Respect for the Organisers:** Our organisers finalise the list the night before or early morning. Last-minute changes mean they need to leave their work to arrange replacements. This affects not just the organisers but the overall experience of the players. * **Waitlist Responsibility:** If you're on the waitlist and no longer wish to attend, it’s your responsibility to remove your name. We assume that anyone on the waitlist still wants to join the session if a spot opens up. * **First-Come, First-Serve Basis:** We ensure fairness by adhering to a first-come, first-serve system. Please do not ask for special treatment or last-minute slots outside of this. **Note: Players may cancel without penalty up to 9 hours before the session.

**What we do:** We post books on monthly basis; everyone who reads or has read the book on their own time can join in. We get together, share opinions and thoughts about the book. We are here for the love of reading and sharing thoughts. **Book of choice:** Tar Baby Toni Morrison 4.00 stars 23,957 ratings 1,485 reviews An unforgettable and transformative novel that explores race and gender with scorching insight from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved.Into a white millionaire's Caribbean mansion comes Jadine, a sophisticated graduate of the Sorbonne, art historian – a black American now living in Paris and Rome. Then there’s Son, a criminal on the run, uneducated, violent, contemptuous – a young American black of extreme beauty from small-town Florida. As Morrison follows their affair, she charts all the nuances of obligation and betrayal between blacks and whites, masters and servants, and men and women.Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction‘Toni Morrison was a quintessential, unabashedly American writer. Like her fellow giant, Walt Whitman, her work was, above all, audacious. She seized the landscape with a flourish and wove it, unwove it and put it back together’ Bonnie Greer, Guardian https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23351024-tar-baby Safar Book Group book shelves [https://www.goodreads.com/group/bookshelf/48954-safar-book-group](https://www.goodreads.com/group/bookshelf/48954-safar-book-group)
