Hi
Where can I order it from ?
I have trouble finding it on UK websites.
And I am desperate to start reading it ASAP.
Let me know of any addresses you may have for UK orders.
Thanks

I was lucky to have read the book entirely. Congratulations to Mr. Al Habtoor on life achievments and an auto biography very well written. I have admired his success in business, life, community and family.

Mr Al Habtoor story shows what we call impossible does not exist in great leaders minds. He has also shared stories of failed busineses but demonstrated the learnings out of each experience. Mr. Al Habtoor is great contributor to eduction in the UAE and the ME. however, he is also a live exemple of outstanding achiever with very basic school education but a great learner from his own experience.

I highly recommend reading his story and would love to have the honor of meeting him in person any time soon.

Pierre
