Shelved to “didn’t finish”. I think I’ve had my fill of self improvement. Whilst this book was loaded with sage advice the premise of the writing and style annoyed me. A book of fiction interweaved with famous quotes after quote just didn’t engage me. Nothing new so shelved.
Self-help books are tricky. In my view, to be effective, they have to balance meaning and purpose with readability for the audience. In the best books, the audience doesn't realize that they are learning. In my experience, when I begin to feel lectured to, I lose interest and begin to nit pick the writer's material. The best self-help books I have read have been memoirs. The writer pours his or her heart out and shares what he or she has learned. Off the top of my head, two self-help or motivati...
Amazing book with lot of insights to life. Its a well laid out plan on how to achieve your highest self and to live a life worth living. Leaving a legacy worth remembering is a valuable goal to have.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Sharma is definitely not among my fav self-help writes, yet this book left a great impression on me. There is just one thing I really don't like about his books..they all look alike. Oh well, at least I got few good advices form this one :)
A friend of mine gave it to me, saying that it changed the way she faced life. I was really skeptical, because all the books i’ve read about spirituality are so fucking pretentious, with so many pretty words that don’t mean a thing actually. But I value a lot my friend’s opinions, so i was willing to give it a try.Turns out just as I expected: incredibly pretentious, probably the most pretentious book about spirituality i’ve ever read, with all the captions of famous writers and always talking a...
The worst book I've ever read. It is based on a fake view of reality, it's made for you to believe that the world is all wonderful. It's fool of cliche ideas like I'll go to India and change myself completely, I'll get home from there spiritualized... Try and open the book at any page and count how many words like "good, amazing, wonderful, beautiful..." you'll find. The main message is that choices must be made by intuition and with the heart. Despise reason and logical reasoning. It does not a...
"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier". This quote of Mother Teressa forms the essence of this yet another remarkable offering from Robin Sharma. He goes on to quote The Mahatma to drive home his point relating to focus on oneself, "The only devils in the world are those running in our own hearts. That is where the battle should be fought". The author focusses on the enormous potential that each individual has, "Man's main task is to give birth to himself, to become wha...
Good Book.. But if you have already read Who will cry when you die, A leader who has no tiled and The monk who sold his Ferrari then this book would be just OK.. As majority of concepts are repeated from those books.
"Knowledge is, knowing that tomato is a fruit; wisdom is, not putting it in a fruit salad". This book presents the scientific and philosophical work on human behaviour as a self-discovery journey. I can guess that I would have loved this book much more, 5-7 years ago, till I had not been introduced to the "real" scientific and philosophical work. While I like the part dealing with the human behaviour (much to be taken with a pinch of salt, of course), this book fulfills all the typical criteria
It is a good book however it has a story that no longer surprises. The writing of Robin Sharma is a bit like that.
