Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s latest book, Lessons from Life, is now available in English, offering readers a glimpse into the leadership philosophy and wisdom of the Ruler of Dubai. The 35-chapter book, which captures Sheikh Mohammed’s reflections on leadership, governance, and human values, sold out across several UAE bookstores just days after its Arabic release last month. The English edition hit shelves on October 10. “The best legacy we can leave behind is not wealth, nor construction and buildings, but rather true wisdom, beneficial knowledge, and kind words that transcend time and nation boundaries,” Sheikh Mohammed wrote in the book. He said the book was intended to be “simple in its words, frank in its expressions, and true in its meanings, so that it would reach from heart to heart.” The English edition is available at Borders, Virgin Megastore, Magrudy’s, Kinokuniya, and major supermarkets like Carrefour, Lulu, and Union Coop, as well as online through Amazon.ae, Noon.com, and AskExplorer.com. Publishers describe Lessons from Life as a deeply personal and practical guide that distills Sheikh Mohammed’s 60 years of experience in public service and leadership into timeless lessons on success and humanity. Alistair Mackenzie, CEO of Explorer Publishing, said: “In a part of the world where so few voices are published, the importance of this book shouldn’t be underestimated. We’ve seen tremendous demand for Sheikh Mohammed’s latest work.” Usha Pagarani, owner of Borders UAE, added: “Lessons from Life is more than just a reflection—it’s a gift from Sheikh Mohammed, allowing readers to see the principles that shaped his vision for Dubai and the UAE.” Rob Wilkins, Senior Multimedia and Lifestyle Director at Virgin, described it as “powerful and relatable to anyone looking for guidance in life.” CAM/Expat Media
