This search for wisdom has guided Faisal from his earliest days. As an underachieving teenager he spent much of his time lost in virtual gaming worlds, until a flash of enlightenment led him to see life through a new lens at age fifteen. From apathetic to inspired, he began attending courses, seminars, and workshops to discover his full potential and form intense connections with others intellectually and emotionally. Initially, Faisal found his community on a social network, where his commentary on politics and culture garnered tens of thousands of followers. He would soon after attract national attention as the youngest professional columnist in Kuwait.

Faisal’s writing trajectory might have been steep, but it has also been far from easy. While studying on a scholarship in the US, he withdrew from his engineering degree program. He gave himself the gift of a sabbatical year, leaving behind worldly distractions to explore the depths of introspection. When he emerged from his figurative chrysalis, mentally and spiritually transformed, he stepped into a new existence of joy, love, and inner peace. This led to the birth of his debut fantasy novel, “Joseph and the Seven Swords”.
