BOOK

Life’s a GameTough times are just what you are looking for according

to mind nutrition expert, Kevin Abdulrahman. As author of the bestselling book, Winning the Game of Life, he has already inspired millions of individuals to “get-up-and-go” during testing moments, to reach their full

potential, and accomplish their goals.

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do?I am an author, keynote speaker, and mind nutrition expert. Organizations around

the world hire me as a trainer to help them develop “A Winning Mind,” benefits of which include leadership development within their teams, morale boosts, increased productivity, and therefore their bottom line. I help organizations catapult from where they are to where they want to and should be. How did you get interested in mind nutrition?Frustration! I spent the best of my teenage years wondering how very few people seemed to achieve what they set out to do in life, whilst the majority tried and failed. This applied across the board in financial success, life happiness, sports, friendships, relationships, employment, and businesses. The answer was in the undervalued and underutilized power that is within all of

us – the goldmine that is hardly mined is our mind.What is your definition of success?Success means different things to different folks. I define success as winning in whatever game you are playing in life. We all play a different game in life, and success is being the best that you can be – it is not a race with anyone else. What’s one lesson you have learned in life so far?A wise man once told me, ‘If you think knowledge is expensive, try ignorance. Always invest in your mind.’Who inspired you to keep moving forward?My wonderful parents.When did you realize that you could teach others about winning in life?I began to help those close to me, who wanted to perform at their peak, and the response was overwhelming. Through word of mouth only, I was being asked to fly around the world to further train some already successful individuals, athletes,

groups, and companies. They wanted to push through the envelope of their mind, and they wanted me as their coach to help with the process.And in the Middle East, can peo-ple achieve the same success as in the West?Absolutely. I sincerely believe that you can be the best that you can be, no matter who you are or where you are from. All you need is the desire and determination, along with the winning information. I see an immense amount of potential waiting to be unleashed in the Middle East. What has been the response to your book, Winning the Game of Life, and have you any touching, personal accounts from others on how it has changed their lives for the better?I have had an immense amount of feedback on Winning the Game of Life. I have been fortunate to have some of the biggest worldwide names from all walks of life support my message in the book, including Dr. Denis Waitley, bestselling author of The Psychology of Winning and a teacher from The Secret. Apart from that, I have dozens and dozens of pages of people who wrote to me saying how the book has changed their lives through a new way of thinking. I meet people who read back to me certain lines or chapters that really struck a chord with them, and they tell me how they use it in their day-to-day lives.
