Change Your Thinking, Change Your World
Your Path to Personal Transformation Starts Here
Welcome! I’m Dr. Hafeez Diwan, and I’m dedicated to sharing ideas on how to feel better and do better. Please be advised, I am not a mental health expert. Far from it! I am a skin pathologist. But like you, I am a human being, which means that I share the human condition, with all its joys and—sigh!—troubles. I’ve found some ideas to be very helpful. This website is designed to introduce you to the ideas and concepts that I’ve found useful in my journey. They are all quite simple and practical. They all involve easy strategies designed to change our mindset and how we think and act. Would you like to learn more? Why don’t you check out what I have to offer?
Books That Inspire Change
My books are practical guides designed to help navigate some of life’s tough challenges. From learning to love the obnoxious to mastering willpower, each book provides simple, immediately actionable steps that help reach the desired objective and improve well-being. I’ve written these books to provide the tools needed to break free from old patterns and embrace new possibilities. Check out my work and discover how simple changes can lead to profound transformation.
How My Books Can Change Your Life
Since my attention span is rather short, I write books that get straight to the point. As much as possible, I try to cut out the padding and give my readers practical and easy steps on how to work on different areas of their lives. This obviously applies to my non-fiction, self-improvement books (I write fiction too). These books have one mission: to make us feel better and act better quickly.
How to Love Obnoxious People - and Why?
This book reveals how necessary and how easy it is to love people we think are obnoxious, and why doing so is great for our mental and physical well-being. Sounds unbelievable? Try it out and see for yourself.
How To Have Instant Willpower Without Using Any Willpower
This guide shows how to tap into instant willpower using extremely simple science-based methods. Say goodbye to procrastination and reach goals with easy-to-follow strategies.
The Impossible Murder of Headless in Houston
A headless mystery writer in a locked room—Dr. Imogene Chaplin must unravel this impossible case before she becomes the next victim. A thrilling detective story with unexpected twists. Yes, it’s not technically a self-improvement book, but it is a lot of fun (I admit I’m biased), and it has insights about how we can miss the obvious solution staring us in the face.
My Courses and Lectures
I’ve taught hundreds of people a simple way of loving obnoxious people (and things). I’ve lectured to organizations and academic institutions in the US. I teach a popular elective to medical students at Baylor College of Medicine called Meditation and Loving Obnoxious People. I show them how easy it is to apply simple targeted meditation and love obnoxious people. It doesn’t take much time at all.

Here are some comments from course participants:
“This class has been really helpful in learning to reframe my thought process, especially when it comes to stressful situations.”
“I have learned a lot and will incorporate many of the things I learned into my everyday life.”
“I really enjoyed this class and wanted to say thank you for everything! I found the information very useful and applicable especially during such a stressful time, and I hope you continue to teach the class.”
“It has helped me learn coping skills.”
Why Read My Books
Like many others, I encounter problems, difficulties, irritations, and frustrations on a regular basis. Life’s journey is not smooth, to say the least. So, I have tried out different strategies to help me. I always aim to find something that is easy and doesn’t require too much effort or memorization. Isn’t it frustrating to try and remember step number 32 or some other step in a long, long list of steps? My point is, I try to get to the point fast, and present ideas in a practical way. That’s what my books (and my lectures, courses, and podcast) offer: quick, easy recipes that are (hopefully) helpful.
