I'm not looking for motivation but direction in life

Although I'm 37 years old and doing fine financially but not really clear in defining what i actually want from life. I'm looking for a book that gets me to think and evaluate life.

I'm currently not happy what I am but I am also not clear what i want to become.

Any book recommendations?

Need some help and guidance before formally reaching out to someone ! NON-RESIDENT to Resident question

​

Here is my situation: I bought a property in the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario while I was not a resident of Canada. The value was 1.2 million dollars back in 2023, and I became a Canadian resident in 2025. My understanding is that the value of the property was 1 million dollars at that time.

Questions:

  1. If I sell my property in 2026, will my loss be calculated from when I became a tax resident resident in 2025, or from when I bought it?

  2. Since this is an investment property, does it make sense to sell it at a loss. The funds would be used to buy property in which we would reside ?

  3. Generally much would a tax advisor charge for advising on this?

Delayed marriage vs sexual desire

I have posted jn another group but seems relevant here as well. To begin with, I consider myself non-religious from an Islamic background

Question/discussion:

Are we seriously underestimating the psychological importance of sex?

In today’s world, people are increasingly getting married in their late 20s or 30s, in many religions, sex before marriage remains strictly forbidden. That can mean going through some of the most sexually intense years of your life with no legitimate outlet for those desires.

Is this really fair to stick to the rule of no sex before marriage between consenting adults ?

I see Islam's rule only cares that sex doesn't happen before marriage and doesn't care about other factors to consider while marrying someone.

Also, I do understand the explanation provided regarding family structure of kids born outside marriage as it is an entirely different argument. I just narrow the discussion down to the fact of consenting adults have sex but do not have kids. Why does Islam have a problem with that?
