From the days of my life...the path to happiness: My book is very simple, in which I tell you about some of the situations I went through that played a major role in building my personality and who I am today. These situations come in a way that brings happiness to me and to those around me. I tried to narrate some situations and some stories and put them in a simple form containing some of them articles from some writers or sayings, and I implanted in them my simple advice. It was also my idea to directly translate this book, in cooperation with my daughter Al-Reem, to be in both Arabic and English
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, man of peace:
History records the glories of the great leaders who carried the torches of happiness and peace to the world and made immortal achievements that contributed to spreading stability and prosperity and enabling people to live a decent life in prosperity, tranquility and peace of mind. At the forefront of this great group of great leaders is His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the Crown Prince. The era of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, may God protect him, is a distinguished Arab, Islamic and international figure who enjoys great prestige and deep respect. He made human care his top priority, ensured its implementation on the ground, developed plans, established projects and launched national and international initiatives to spread peace and extinguish the flames of war. And raging conflicts, so that happiness, prosperity and development are the reality of peoples and not just a desired hope.

“I am suffocating and Tokyo does not sleep
The story of the book is:
I watch the city's inhabitants, programmed like robots, from the window of my narrow room, with dreams of attending those prestigious universities, those dreams that haunt us like ghosts.
Tokyoites wear the same faces, the same fake laugh.
The degree and inclination of bowing to greet one another is the same and does not increase or decrease a degree.”
In the small greenhouse that I built for my dear flowers and roses, secret conversations take place and stories are told. Each of them tells the other her legend and the stories she witnessed and heard.
I hide from them so that they do not notice my presence, and I record everything that happens between them in my notebook. It's always dawn, and I don't realize how long I've been here in this corner. The conversations and stories told by the roses were not happy at all, they were like thorns with their pain.
The notebook contains a mixture of myths, stories, and texts that Al-Basataniyya collected to share with the reader, as he talks about the dark side of unlimited happiness, about disappointments, and betrayals that never heal. About those human relationships that do not rise to the sky.
Briefly, about the definition of pain in its many faces, which are depicted with thorns running down their branches, leaving a prick, a mark on a finger that touched them, and hidden pain.
From every garden is a flower and from every garden is a thorn
Twenty-one thorns that the gardener documented in her notebook, proving that pain is a universal language that is not limited to the poor only, but transcends all social classes that humans have placed through their ignorance.
