Maky’s Memoir
The Magic of Normal
Hope, Love and Beyond.
by Dr. Maky Zanganeh
When I decided to write this book, I was an intensely busy businesswoman working on a variety of different projects, one more important than the next. All pushing me in various directions. I have always been extremely ambitious, and it is hard for me to prioritize when it comes to dividing my time. The truth is, I finally started writing the book because life forced me to slow down. Fate decided to change things and pace my life to the rhythm of my cancer treatments…
And strangely enough at the same time, Covid stepped in and put the world on hold. A space-time dimension occurred where everything was punctuated by Covid…the different waves in different countries…in different continents…waves that alternated between hope and despair.
I was fortunate to overcome my ordeal with cancer in the middle of the Covid pandemic. And I was equally fortunate to get my vaccine just one year after the Corona virus emerged. Amazingly, my life was back in order, and I was able to continue my new projects in medical research with even more conviction than ever. So, I dedicate this book that traces my private and professional journey, to all those whose lives have been interrupted and dream of returning to normal one day. I dedicate it to every patient going through the uncertainty and torment of cancer. I want you to know you are not alone. You are shielded with science, innovation and discovery. In front of you lies comradely, courage and hope. A Persian expression states: “In despair hides a great deal of hope and at the end of the darkness of night is daylight”.
In honor of my Father who recently passed away.

TESTIMONIALS
“Thank you for your chapter on Lindbergh, an operation that would never have been possible without your determination. Thank you for sharing this success of Pharmacyclics which will remain a bible for any young entrepreneur. And all this energy, this tenacity, this deep desire to surpass yourself, are only the result of such a difficult period that you lived during the war which ravaged your country for so many years. And the strongest thing about your book is that your exemplary, exceptional professional success nevertheless leads you to the conclusion that the strongest values are the simplest and above all accessible to all: love, family and the ability to take every moment of our life as a gift from heaven…”
“As we stumble back onto our feet in 2021, I believe it’s ever important to familiarize ourselves with stories and people that we can connect and count on. There is still a strange feeling in the air. Not quite anticipation and not quite fear. It lives in the spaces between. The Magic of Normal and Zanganeh reinforces that life is moving and it inevitably has its plan for us. We move forward with it. We invent our survivals.”
“I see that you have an incredible, interesting and proven history and have overcome many challenges along the way to create a reality for patients to feel the “Magic of Normal”.”
