Why do some changes create a ripple effect across every area of life while others never seem to last? What does it really mean to RESET? And how can a few intentional shifts transform the way we think, perform, connect, and live? For this month's PhiloTalk, we are delighted to welcome Omar Al Duri for a special evening exploring the ideas behind his Amazon best selling book, RESET: 5 Dominos That Will Change Your Life. Drawing on the principles of the book, Omar will share how the five dominoes can influence mindset, habits, resilience, performance, wellbeing, leadership, and personal growth, and why lasting transformation often begins with small, consistent changes. Through an engaging conversation moderated by Dr. Joelle Samaha, we will unpack the key concepts of RESET, discuss their practical application in everyday life, and explore how these principles can help us create meaningful and sustainable change. 💬 The evening will be followed by an open Q&A with Omar, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions, gain insights, and engage directly with the ideas behind the book. Whether you have already read RESET or are simply curious about the philosophy behind it, we would love to welcome you for an evening of conversation, learning, and inspiration with one of the UAE's leading voices in performance, mindset, and personal development. 📅 Thursday, 12 June 2026 🕢 7:30 PM 📍 PhiloLife Wellbeing Education Center, Dubai 🎟️ Free Entry ⚠️ Only 25 seats available. A few seats remain and advance reservation is required. 📲 To reserve your seat, RSVP through here on Meetup or on WhatsApp: +971 54 363 0990

**Puzzle Fun** 🧩➗ A relaxed and fun gathering for anyone who enjoys puzzles, mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and curious conversations. The goal of this event is not just to solve problems, but to encourage the kind of thinking that creates independent mathematicians and deep problem-solvers. The event is divided into two parts: • Segment One: Puzzle & Problem-Solving Round We’ll warm up with fun high-school-level maths problems, logic puzzles, Sudoku-style thinking, and other mathematical challenges. Feel free to bring your own puzzles, books, or favourite problems to share with the group! A scientific calculator may occasionally be useful. • Segment Two (Optional): Logic & Proof-Writing If enough brave souls are interested, we’ll explore the strange and beautiful world of mathematical logic and proof-writing — the foundation of higher mathematics. If not, we’ll simply continue solving more puzzles and interesting problems together. An online group will also be created for discussions, resources, and keeping track of what we cover, since mathematics is a subject that builds continuously over time. Please bring: ✏️ Pens 📒 A notebook or plenty of A4 paper 🧠 Curiosity WhatsApp group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5)

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
