Ahmet Mithat Müşahedat criticized Emile Zola in his introduction titled 'Hasbihâl with Kâriîn' in his work titled Müşahedat and described the situation of Emile Zola, who wrote with a naturalist perspective of French society, from a critical point of view. Mithat Efendi wrote almost all his works to guide and educate people. And for this reason, according to him, transferring the events existing in the society as they are, instead of educating people, he was worried about leading them down the wrong path and therefore he opposed the Turkish society to read Emile Zola.

Review in Turkish:
Keşke ona sarılıp hayatındaki her şeyin maddiyatla ilgili olmadığını söyleyebilseydim. İlk endişesi işe gidememek oldu ve bu hemen dikkatimi çekti. Ailesine ve başkalarına yetememe korkusu beni derinden etkiledi. Ve bu düşüncenin doğru olması daha da derinden yaralıyor.
Bana göre Kafka bu kitapta kendinden bahsetmiş. Babasıyla olan karmaşık ve acı verici ilişkisi, akıl sağlığı sorunları, yeterince iyi olmamanın dehşeti, bir insanı delirtmeye yeter. Keşke hayatını, başkalarının kontrol ettiği hayatı değil, kendi istediği gibi yaşayabilseydi.
Böyle bir şey söyleyeceğimi hiç düşünmezdim ama en azından tüm bu zehirli zihniyetten ve bunaltıcı düşüncelerden kurtulduğu için mutluyum. Sadece var olmanın ve yaşamamanın gerçek hali bu ;(
Review in English:
I wish I could just give him a hug and say not everything is about material value in his life. His first worry is not being able to go to work instantly caught my attention. Fear about not being enough for his family and others affected me deeply. And this thought being true just hurts even deeper.
From my perspective, Kafka wrote about himself in this book. His complicated and agonizing relationship with his dad, mental health issues, the horror of not being good enough is sufficient for a person to go mad. I wish he could just live his life the way he could and not the life others controlled.
I didn't think I would even say something like that but I'm happy that he's at least free from all these toxic mentality and overwhelming thoughts. This is the true form of just existing and not living ;(
(Thanks to all who read my reviews, I truly appreciate it . I wrote them in English just because I can express myself better and more versatile in it. Just an online journal for me. Hope you enjoy ;)

Apparently I've already finished Season 2 but haven't realized it yet. Season 2 is definitely better than the first one but I still feel like it is not at its peak yet. I miss the nonchalant parts of the first season and I want some of the characters to appear more. Also, I feel like the author is trying to do too much by introducing lots of new things/characters without developing the existing ones. Overall, it was a long but good read. I've already read some parts from Season 3 so I'll need to finish it before I can review it.

I thought such books are just doing emotional manipulation and they are far from real life. But now I really find this book as a guide book or Bible for managing your business. I also believe the principles in the book might be applicable to managing business or personal life. Below you will find the parts I underlined in the book while reading.

First, I wanna provide a brief summary of the book then I will share my comments on it:
Humans defeated famine, plague and war (starvation, epidemics and violence)
Humanities new targets are immortality, happiness and divinity by using artificial intelligence, big data, biotechnology, genetic engineering, regenerative medicine and nanotechnology and thus upgrading Homo Sapiens to Homo Deus.
Imminent dangers are climate change, global warming, pollution
Humans domesticated more than 90% of all large animals and thus conquered the world.
But humans are no different than animals since we have no soul, consciousness, mind or free will. Our sensations, emotions, desires and thoughts are biochemical data processing algorithms
What makes humans more special than animals are not our soul, mind or consciousness but our ability to cooperate flexibly in large numbers by creating ‘fictional myths’ such as money, corporation, state, gods. Fictions enable us to cooperate better and without fiction no complex human society can function.
Scientists study how the world functions, but there is no scientific method for determining how humans ought to behave. So, countries cannot function on the basis of scientific theories alone. They require some religion or ideology to maintain order.
Humanism (the worship of humankind which sanctifies life, happiness and power of Homo Sapiens) became the dominant world religion for the last 300 years.
Humanism split into three main branches, all of which believe that human experience is the supreme source of authority and meaning, yet they interpret human experience in different ways: Orthodox Humanism (Liberal humanism or simply as liberalism), Socialist Humanism (Communism, leftists), Evolutionary Humanism (Racism, Fascism
