DEAR READERS,
WE LEARN SOMETHING EVERYDAY , EVERY TIME, IT IS A PROCESS WHICH CANNOT STOPPED OR IGNORED. IT GIVES A KICK START TO INDIVIDUALS FOR PURSUING THEIR DREAMS OR THEIR GOALS. ONE OF SUCH WRITERS AND MY INSPIRATION IS MR.ROBIN SHARMA. HE IS BEING REGARDED AS THE MOTIVATIONAL GURU AND HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH MANY TOP COMPANIES.
ONE OF HIS BOOKS THAT INSPIRES MILLIONS OF HEARTS IS "THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI". THE AUTHOR IS A LEADERSHIP EXPERT AND IT FILLS THE BOOK WITH LIFE STRATEGIES.
THE BOOK TAKES THE FORM OF A FABLE ABOUT JULIAN MANTLE, A HIGH-PROFILE ATTORNEY WITH A CRAZY SCHEDULE AND A SET OF PRIORITIES THAT CENTER AROUND MONEY, POWER AND PRESTIGE. AS SUCH, MANTLE REPRESENTS THE VALUES OF OUR SOCIETY. THE STORY IS TOLD FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ONE OF HIS ASSOCIATES, WHO ADMIRES MANTLE’S GREAT SUCCESS AND ASPIRES TO BE LIKE HIM.
BUT WHEN MANTLE HAS A HEART ATTACK, HE DROPS OUT OF THE GAME AND DISAPPEARS. HE SELLS ALL HIS POSSESSIONS AND GOES TO INDIA TO SEEK A MORE MEANINGFUL EXISTENCE. WHEN HE COMES BACK, HE’S A CHANGED MAN. REALLY, IT’S AS IF HE’S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON. HE’S LEARNED FROM SOME MYTHICAL HIMALAYAN GURUS WHO GIVE HIM MYSTICAL AND YET PRACTICAL ADVICE, WHICH HE SHARES WITH HIS FORMER ASSOCIATE (AND THE READER).
THE CORE OF THE BOOK IS THE SEVEN VIRTUES OF ENLIGHTENED LEARNING, WHICH MANTLE REVEALS ONE BY ONE. NOW, ALTHOUGH THE BOOK PRESENTS THEM AS ACTUAL VIRTUES LEARNED FROM HIMALAYAN GURUS, IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER AS YOU READ THAT THESE ARE MADE UP BY THE AUTHOR — ACTUALLY, HE PULLED THEM FROM OTHER SOURCES AND PUT THEM TOGETHER:

1. MASTER YOUR MIND
2. FOLLOW YOUR PURPOSE

4. LIVE WITH DISCIPLINE
5. RESPECT YOUR TIME
6. SELFLESSLY SERVE OTHERS
7. EMBRACE THE PRESENT
I GIVE THIS BOOK A BUY RECOMMENDATION FOR
ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN INCORPORATING ROUTINES AND HABITS THAT CAN
TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES, HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS, CALM THEM AND MAKE THEM
MORE HAPPY. YES, IT’S A JUMBLE OF TOO MANY IDEAS, BUT YOU CAN PICK AND CHOOSE,
AND THE IDEAS CONTAINED WITHIN ARE POTENTIALLY VERY POWERFUL. PLUS, IT’S A FUN
AND EASY READ.
