Got this book as a Christmas friends gift at office. Purely from a book review perspective, the book is pretty bad. Repetitive in its narration and no new ideas in its presentation when compared with any of this other works. I had to struggle to finish the book and I am quite sure I glazed off in between reading some of the sections. Took me a long time to slog through it.
Just read this book. I am already reading it for the second time because it is inspiring for us all.Thank you for such a wonderful and inspiring book; I aspire to be better as a person, a leader and a human.
Wonderful and a very inspiring book, everyone should read it and not only business man or woman. I must confess this is not the kind of book I would usually choose to read, but my father recomended it to me and even when I was reluctant at first,right on the first page I start to enjoy it and to see all the wisdom it contain. I wont say more, I would only repeat that everybody should do it, no mater what you do for a living, this book will change your mind or will remind you of things you alread...
Absolutely loved the book. The message throughout the book is simple and to the point. The way it's presented seems so natural. You can relate to the story and introspect whether you're going down the same road. If you are, well then better think about it again. I particularly love Robin's way of presenting i.e. in the form of a story. Great book! Definitely need to have read "The Monk who sold his Ferarri" in order to get the utmost advantage out of this book.
Nice story to teach the lessons of leadership, could have been delivered better. Has a glimpse of Steve jobs real life incidents.
I was introduced to Robin Sharma’s book at business school. I thought I’d explore the topic of leadership having studied it formally. Leadership is a topic that needs time to germinate and grow. Learning all the theory only prepares you to begin your journey. What I enjoyed about this book is the way Sharma’s humility comes through in all the 8 lessons he imparts throughout the fable. I use this as one of my “must reads” for developing managers and entrepreneurs. It certainly enlightened me.
Much worse than Monk...... Simply writing silly books ??
Many books have been written on "Leadership" but this is one of the finest amongst them simply because it is simple and anyone can relate to what has been written. Robin Sharma is a master at story telling but along with that he comes up vignettes like "Self-discipline is the DNA of visionary leadership. Self discipline is what allows a leader to go beyond knowing to doing" and "Knowledge that remains unapplied is worthless. Success is not determined by what you know. Lasting success comes only
It is a phenomenal sequel to The Monk who Sold his Ferrari. A company which at one point of time was of much acclaimed fame and the most coveted one, plunged into darkness for the reasons not known to its CEO, Peter Franklin. At this juncture, his long forgotten friend, Julian Mantle stepped into his life, to assist him in overcoming this phase of life. Julian, through his ways of wisdom made Franklin discover his shortfalls and rejuvenate his entire portfolio with his eight practical lessons.On...
If person who is at the top management level in any organisation really want to be most successful leader then, then he must read this book. In now a days most people run after only money. While running behind it they miss the most desirable moments of the life. For such people also it will be beneficial. By reading the book they can learn how to live a life. Most famous quote from this book " Purpose of a life is a life of a purpose."
This is the most complete and lucid work on leadership. Something which is doable, can be tried and practised. It actually inspires to undertake that first step of followership- of value, rituals and practices, so essential to imbibe before you think of inspiring others. It talks about the relevance of knowledge, compassion, empathy and diversity that makes someone anear complete man. I always recommend thi book to my friends.
I have read books on leadership, the philosophy of success, and appropriate approaches to management in the past. This book simply didn't work for me. The author has clearly taken some well chosen ideas for self improvement, particularly for those in leadership positions, and supported it with a narrative of a student learning from a master. In this case the student is a CEO in need of desperate guidance, and the master is a retired lawyer turned monk. Perhaps it is due to my own philosophy and
The central conceit of the book, that of a selfish CEO of a failing company coming across a former colleague who is now a monk, and who gradually changes his outlook and makes him a better man and businessman, doesn't really work. The characters are little more than mouthpieces for the author's ideas; as fictional characters they are unsatisfying.If you can get past that, however, on the level of a non-fiction, motivational book about good leadership, the book is actually pretty good, and offers...
