Author Behzad Dabir-Panah’s New Book, “Human Doing, Human Being,” Reflects the Author’s Present Recollections of His Varied Experiences Over Time
Having to endure physical, emotional, and psychological abuse from a very young age, he found himself homeless and on the streets at around seven years old. Due to religious persecutions, he escaped Iran and arrived in the States in his early teens but cannot escape his past all the while faced with all new crises and challenges. Having been tired of running from himself, he decides to face his demons and find some truth of his own through his explorations in performing art, life, and spirituality. While investigating truth, he examines the nature of the individual and the collective ego, the mind, relationships, values, religion, and God to try and be authentic and true to himself and live a more meaningful life.
After being homeless for a few years in the streets of Tehran at a very young age, author Behzad Dabir-Panah left Iran due to religious persecution when he was asked and threatened to change his religion and become a Muslim. He spent two extremely difficult years when he escaped Iran before finally arriving in the United States. After arriving in the States and facing new challenges, he decided to confront his past and investigate truth as important and difficult questions kept arising for him, and this book is some of the process and the result of his confrontation with himself and his investigation of truth and reality to try to understand himself and the world around him.
Dabir-Panah begins, “I came to the states as a refugee when I was fifteen years old. I’ve never had a family. Well, that’s not exactly true. I had a family once. I was four years old when my parents got separated. After spending a couple of months at my grandparents’, my father decided to get remarried, mostly because of the constant pressure by my grandfather to get us out of there, or maybe it was my grandfather’s way of pushing his kids to be independent! Either way, it wasn’t really my father’s decision. My grandfather wanted me and my elder brother out of his house. He didn’t want to end up raising me and my brother. He wanted my grandmother to be exclusively caring for him and not raising his grandkids. When my dad was getting remarried, everything seemed fine at first. Even after the marriage, everything seemed fine for the first couple of months.”

Vicki Thomas is 80 years old, has survived two cancers, and just wrote a book arguing that none of that means she’s done. The author of "From Woodstock to Wisdom…A Boomer’s Journey to 80" was recently featured in an Influential Women tribute recognizing her work on aging and reinvention, according to an announcement from her organization, My Future Purpose.
The book itself is a collection of essays, described by its author as candid and often humorous, covering aging, identity, relationships, technology, loss and the search for purpose. Thomas frames the subject through her own generation’s arc: the Baby Boomers who marched and questioned authority in their youth are now, in her telling, confronting ageism and invisibility in later life. According to the announcement, the essays range from caregiving and changing bodies to what she describes as becoming an influencer at 79.
Thomas’s path to writing that book runs through several careers. In the 1970s she became head of marketing and advertising for the Credit Union National Association, working in what was then a male-dominated financial-services industry. She later worked on projects tied to American Express, Prudential Securities and Merrill Lynch focused on women and the pre-retiree market, and spent time at the ABC Television Network before moving into nonprofit work.
That nonprofit work included Purple Heart Homes, which builds accessible housing for disabled veterans; Thomas’s media and outreach work there earned her the $100,000 Purpose Prize from Encore.org in 2013, an award recognizing people over 60 for social-impact work. She has described that period alongside a more personal turning point: a diagnosis of a rare, aggressive cancer that came with a prognosis of three to five years to live, followed two years later by a breast cancer diagnosis. She has adopted the term "bonus year" to describe each year she has lived beyond her initial three-to-five-year prognosis, as noted in the organization’s statement.
Thomas is currently co-founder and Chief Purpose Officer of My Future Purpose, an organization she runs with Joyce Cohen that works with people navigating retirement and life transitions through workshops, speaking engagements and a program called Pathways to Purpose. The organization’s pitch, per the announcement, is a reframing question: not what someone is retiring from, but what they’re still capable of becoming. Thomas is also developing a related project, "From Woodstock to Wisdom: Passing the Mic," intended to bring college students into conversation with older adults about purpose and generational perception.
The book and the broader effort share a label Thomas uses for the movement she’s trying to build: a "What’s Next movement," aimed particularly at older women she says are too often written off as finished contributors.
Studio CarryOnHarry finds the more interesting story here isn’t the memoir itself but the timing: Thomas is explicitly targeting a generation now aging into the questions it once thought it had permanently deferred, and betting there’s an audience for that discomfort stated plainly rather than softened.

Kathleen Austin has published "Beary Best Friends A Visit to the Dentist," the third book in her children’s series, through Page Publishing.
The series follows a group of bear characters through everyday childhood experiences, and this installment centers on a trip to the dentist. According to the publisher’s synopsis, the book ends with the characters walking out of the dental office and wondering where their next adventure will take them, a framing consistent across the earlier entries in the series and one that suggests Austin is building toward further books rather than closing out the story.
Austin, a graduate of Hunterdon Central High School, lives in Milford, New Jersey, with her husband. She has said the characters draw on people in her own life, including her nephew Anthony, her cousin Stephen Perry, who lives in England, and her son Jeffrey Jr. The book’s dedication credits Dr. Thomas Evers and his staff, whom Austin has said informed the story’s approach to dental care.
"I wanted to create a story that shows children how a trip to the dentist can actually be an adventure," Austin stated according to the press release. "Through the eyes of my beloved characters, I hope every child discovers that taking care of their teeth is something to embrace with joy and confidence."
The publisher describes the book as aimed at easing children’s anxiety about dental visits through themes of courage and friendship. "Beary Best Friends A Visit to the Dentist" is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as a small but telling entry in a durable corner of children’s publishing: books built around a single anxiety-inducing milestone, from first haircuts to first dentist visits, that parents reliably seek out regardless of how crowded that shelf already is.
