Prof. Nevzat Tarhan, whose 6 books have been translated into the local language and whose works are on the "best-seller" list, met with intense interest from his readers during his Jakarta program. With Tarhan’s latest book, "Good Thoughts, Good Feelings, A Good Life," published by Aile Yayınları, also being translated into Indonesian, the interest in Tarhan has exponentially increased.
The 4-day Indonesia program of Psychiatrist Prof. Nevzat Tarhan, President of Üsküdar University, transformed from merely an academic visit into a global author-reader meeting.
Tarhan, whose 6 works have been translated into Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) to date, bridged thousands of kilometers with a spiritual and scientific connection through his books, which entered the "Best-Seller" lists in the region.
A rational and spiritual guide…
With his unique approach, blending modern psychiatry with Anatolian wisdom, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan’s works found a great cultural resonance in Indonesia.
His works, particularly those on narcissism, family values, and positive psychology, attracted intense interest from both academic circles and the public in this densely populated country of the Far East.
Tarhan’s books serve as a "rational and spiritual" guide for Indonesian readers against the psychological crises brought about by modern life.
New book announcement: "Good Thoughts, Good Feelings, A Good Life"
One of the surprising details of the Jakarta program was the translation of Tarhan’s latest work, "Good Thoughts, Good Feelings, A Good Life," published by Aile Yayınları, into Indonesian.
With the translation of this work, which presents cognitive-behavioral approaches from a wise perspective, Tarhan’s body of work in Indonesian has further enriched. During the autograph sessions held after each session within the program, it was notable that readers formed long queues with Tarhan’s newly translated book in their hands.
Intense reader interest and long autograph queues…
At every stop, from Paramadina University to İstiklal Culture Center, from Yunus Emre Institute to official contacts, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan was met with an intense outpouring of affection, not only as a scientist but also as an author.
Indonesian youth and families, who read Tarhan in their own language, not only had their books signed at the autograph sessions but also expressed their gratitude for the meaning his works brought to their lives and took souvenir photos.
