The River of Life: Roots, Revolution, and the Resilience of the Human Spirit
What happens to the soul when the world you knew disappears overnight?
As Iran once again occupies global attention, The River of Life offers what headlines cannot: lived history, cultural depth, and personal truth. In the opening volume of Currents of Being, Dr. Shahin Samadi presents an intimate memoir shaped by memory, history, and rupture. Raised in Iran and coming of age during the upheaval of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, he captures the moment when a deeply rooted civilization collides with ideological transformation—and when ordinary lives are irrevocably altered.
Through vivid recollections of childhood, family, and Persian cultural tradition, Samadi traces a personal journey against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil. His story follows the path from ancient heritage to modern fracture, from revolution and exile to migration to the United States, and the complex process of rebuilding identity in unfamiliar terrain—learning how to carry one’s past forward without being bound by it.
More than a memoir of displacement, The River of Life is a reflection on belonging, resilience, and historical continuity. Blending personal narrative with insight into Persian civilization, modern Iranian history, and the forces shaping today’s geopolitics, the book offers readers a deeply human lens on Iran’s past and present. It reveals how culture endures under pressure, how identity survives upheaval, and how new beginnings emerge from moments of profound loss.
Thoughtful, accessible, and grounded in experience, The River of Life speaks to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Iran—and to anyone navigating their own turning points in an uncertain world.
Eternal Wisdom: Navigating the Confluence of Science, Faith, and the Future
If Volume I is about where we come from, Volume II is about how we make sense of where we are—and where we are going.
In Eternal Wisdom, Dr. Shahin Samadi moves beyond memoir into reflective inquiry, drawing on a life shaped by migration, technological innovation, and sustained observation of human systems. Grounded in experience rather than abstraction, this volume explores the questions that emerge after survival—questions of meaning, responsibility, and perspective.
Weaving together personal reflection, philosophical exploration, and real-world insight, Samadi examines themes including human relationships, immigration, entrepreneurship, faith, science and technology, climate change, history, and the pursuit of happiness. He approaches these subjects not as problems to be solved, but as currents to be navigated.
Eternal Wisdom presents wisdom not as a fixed endpoint, but as an evolving process—formed through reflection, shaped by adversity, and deepened through connection with others. Thoughtful and accessible, this volume invites readers into a quiet, ongoing conversation about how to live with clarity and purpose in a rapidly changing world.
