    Couldn't put it down
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020*

This is an incredible read. I couldn’t put it down and devoured it in two days. It left me feeling inspired and connected. It’s work like Melody Moezzi’s that changes the world. The power between these pages will leave any reader transformed. The translations of Rumi’s poetry and how to apply it to life’s hardships resonated somewhere deep within me. Read this book because it will uplift you and it will change you. The Rumi Prescription has heart, and it moved me through all of the emotions, distilling an ignited spirit. I’ll keep this one close by and return to it during times I need reassurance or some light. This is a book for everyone.

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020*

There's nothing that heals like soul like Rumi. Cannot thank Melody enough for penning this thoughtful book that adds so much to the cannon of Sufi lit, self-help, and memoirs. A much-needed gem. We all need to figure out how to life this modern life without losing our minds and souls. Rumi, as inspired by the Quran and Islamic spirituality, has a universal and timeless message for all.

    Much-needed 13th-century medicine for modern ills - especially in the time of coronavirus
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020*

Melody Moezzi’s THE RUMI PRESCRIPTION is a curious little book. For one, the twice-published author/attorney/speaker/scholar is insanely curious, which is partly what led her to write this book about turning to a 13th-century Sufi mystic poet for serious mental health problems. Secondly, the book arrives at a most curious time: the age of the coronavirus, even though it was written long before the pandemic.“’In medicine, a cure does not come from nowhere,’” she quotes her physician father at one point. “’The disease teaches you the cure. You ask any physician and they will tell you we are nothing compared to one tiny virus. If you want to stop a virus, you must appreciate its genius. Only then can you learn from that.’”She’s been through the disease, all right, and through her four-year work on this book, she learns plenty and teaches us her takeaways.  Ms. Moezzi’s treatment of Rumi here is, in fact, about treatment for her “modern manic life.”Despite huge obstacles (or perhaps because of them?), she has made her mark as a nationally sought-after speaker and writer; she’s sort of a Brené Brown, but Ms. Moezzi uses for inspiration her Persian roots and Rumi’s sagacious verses as opposed to Brown’s leveraging fact-based studies.In that same Brownian vein, it’s Ms. Moezzi’s vulnerability — as when she talks about being locked up in a mental institution — that marks her work’s finest passages. Likewise, moments with her father provide the loveliest set pieces here; she calls him by his first name, adding yet more intimacy.Serving as her guide, her father knows plenty of Rumi and his 50,000 lines of couplets and quatrains to recite many of them in medieval Persian, as well as in English translation. Dr. Moezzi is also perhaps responsible in part for the book’s structure, having “prescribed” for his thirty-something overachiever 10 Rumi stanzas as antidotes to her/our ailments: isolation, fear, disappointment, pride and so forth. (As for the just-right Rumi passages she included, I’ll let the reader discover those on her own*.)Of those prescriptions, however, anger seems to be one Ms. Moezzi needs most to refill. She has plenty to rail against: racism, especially being brown and a Muslim in a country that’s especially now unwelcoming to both. She reminds us — frequently — that she is the daughter of Iranian-American immigrants (exiles of the Islamic Revolution, to be more precise) and a member of other minorities chronically oppressed. She also goes off, in one for-instance, about the white man’s theft of Washington state’s stunning Cascades, as well as rants about homophobia, misogyny and, in not so many words, organized religion. In a word, she is an activist who’s not afraid to use her book as a platform.Rumi’s lessons could be better served without these, but, still, she pulls off an effort few would have the courage to tackle with aplomb, including some stunning turns of phrase:  “When raindrops land on my face like installments of hope,” they are, she writes, “reminders that disappointment and desperation can end.”Indeed, she weaves a largely lovely Persian tapestry. So much so that she inspires: not only with Rumi’s mystic, thought-provoking, even life-changing verses and her own musings, but, perhaps unwittingly, challenging the reader to try one or two of his or her own verses. Here’s a couplet that came to me:Novels seem more accessible, less opaque, than poetryBut books use forests; verse needs - and contemplates - a single tree*Thus, and on second thought, I’ll share one of her Rumi verses, a joyful favorite:Though the song of the nightingale you may learn to composeYou still can’t know what it sings to the roseIn her PRESCRIPTION, Ms. Moezzi sings out a most timely centuries-old prescription, a medicine one we need even more desperately now … and beyond.
