Ten short chapters, many life lessons to learn.

The basic idea of the entire book that I got is:
First, why wait until our dying moment and repent things before we lose our last breath for nothing?

(Repent all you can while you can, read such books and at least try to improve our messed up lives.)

Second, why should I listen to those who already made it "big" and after having everything try to advice on how the rest of us should live our lives?

(I cannot afford to make all the mistakes and waste my time on them. So I thought I better learn from the mistakes others made which they regret the most, well I cannot say they're real or not, most probably maybe, but I am learning some basic ways to avoid personal calamities and fix things while I can and before I make them worse.)

Plus, there are many life lesson lines which whenever I read or repeat make much sense than the actual advice the people around me give.

As much as we want to ignore our family (though we pretend we do not everyday and constantly living our lives with the basic everyday expression "leave me alone"), we seem to neglect the fact that it's our families that we can rely on at the end of the day no matter how imperfect and annoying they seem to be. And we seem to ignore the ones we should give our attention to and give our best efforts to impress the ones who really do not matter.

So yes, this book made me see some things again which are quite obvious but that we tend to neglect.

This guy doesn't waste words. And I like him quoting so many amazing lines by famous authors and successful people while narrating the lives of people.

And yes, expect the story of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari to be repeated here in some parts.

It was excellent Book. First book of Robin Sharma and I really liked it. Lots of very nice quotes. I wish this book would have been written when I got married, but it is never too late to read it. This book was recommended by a young well read mother of 2 kids and she gave it to me to read. I practice lots of recommendations in the book, however there are lots of things I will change in my life now. Everyone should read this book, it was worth my time.

Once in a while I go back to Robin Sharma and rewind. Ideas tend to recur in all his books although presented in different manners.... For even for those who hate self help books, his ideas of early rising, finding time for self and keeping a journal are really sound techniques of understanding self

It is a type of great self-help book with great ideas. Its a nice book to be presented as a gift to inspiring youngsters. The author has given his best to provide wisdom and knowledge to families through a story line. Robin Sharma indeed has a great way of representing his thoughts in a very influential way. Highly recommended for those who sincerely enjoy motivational stuff.

Simple yet powerful lessons. Applicable irrespective of whether one has kids. Lots of techniques apply for improving all facets of interactions and relationships. Some over-use of quotes nevertheless they are deftly put into context. The five masteries elaborated are about:
1 - Leadership in life begins at home
2 - Shift from scolding to molding a leader
3 - Focus on greatness not weakness - strengths based development
4 - Become an excellent person first
5 - Give give give! Leave a legacy behind

Several practical tips on practicing early starts to the day, appreciation, mindfulness, constant learning, journaling, giving, goal setting and follow through, etc.

Essentially this is a repeat of the wisdom found in his other books but with a higher focus on the parenting aspect. 3 stars still because a reminder like this more than welcome!

A spectacular self help book on family.Robin Sharma has tried to impart wisdom & knowledge regarding families through the story of Catherine Mantle,who's a business tycoon.Once,On a flight to a place with her colleagues,death nearly embraces her but leaves her with a profound change in her thinking towards life.While her time in hospital after the air-crash,she comes to meet her globe trotter brother, Juliane Mantle,who gave up all the luxuries & delicacies of life,sold his favourite red ferrari & eluded to the Himalayas in search of the sages of Sivana,to captivate their wisdom of life.He had gone there without telling anyone,without communicating with anyone & returns after becomeing a monk on a mission to impart the knowledge & wisdom to everyone else in the world(& Thats where the title came from-The Monk who Sold his Ferrari).He meets his sister,Catherine & unfolds the mystery of life through various quotes by great men & many other practical ways.
Robin Sharma has a fluent way of presenting his thoughts in a simple yet influential language.

Great read! Really makes you realize and understand what's truly important to you! Through an incredibly witty and brilliant story plot Robin Sharma helps you understand the teachings of wisdom that free you from the traps of fast paced modern life! - I had to read it in one sitting! I just could not put it down!

He takes you on his journey to enlightenment, which in turn becomes your own journey. He leads you through the steps you will need to master to truly have inner peace. There is a very Zen aspect to this book and the artful and current way that it was written keeps you drawn in, not knowing what to expect next. Continual excitement and character stories peak ones interest.

I would recommend this read to anyone who is looking for a better way to connect with their loved ones. I would also recommend it to people who are not. It definitely makes you think and gives you the power to act. A copy of this belongs on every families bookshelf.

Awesome book! Robin sharma is one of my favorite author when it comes to self help books.
It helped me change my perspective towards my new family and my new life as a wife, daughter in law and a sister in law. I learned one thing very prominently from his book is show leadership in everything you do, don't wait for the things to happen instead make them happen. I started waking up at 5.30 am, its not just this book its the impact of his blog as well his other books----Exercise - get that me time and chalk out a plan for achieving your goals. I have written him mail thanking him about all the positive changes he helped me make in my life.
Thanks.

I couldn't have read this book in a more timely manner. As an entrepreneur that have so much to commit to both business and family, this books truly illustrates that it's possible to achieve a balance between work and family. Yes, simple yet uniquely profound methods that is a must read for all parents.

Thank you Robin, for have written a book that I believe will serve us well if we take time to understand and applies the method into our life

" Knowing exactly what you want for the future of your family protects you from all those negative influences that try and creep into our lives. When your thoughts are crystal clear and you are completely committed to your vision of your family's future, then the opinions of others mean nothing"

Thank you for your wisdom Julian


An interesting book , though it didn't match my expectation

I loved the first book....The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.....this one is just as good. Wisdom for both young and old pouring from it's pages. A book you cannot read without a pencil in hand and a book that will be read more than once and referred back to on many occasions. Highly recommended.

You don't have to be a parent to be able to read this book, as a sister who has a nine year old sister, I sometimes feel like I am raising her as well, so reading this book really opened my eyes on the wisdom of being a role model.

This book is must to be read. I like about Robin is that he sticks to his fundamental knowledge/enlightenment in all his books. This book will not just help you to be better family person but also a better person in general. Simple rules, if sincerely followed will bring lot of joy in our life.
