The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari

Product Information

The book develops around two characters, Julian Mantle and his best friend John, in the form of conversation. The author collected a variety of cliche, already discussed ideas such as positive thinking, meditation, goal prioritization, focus, getting up early, more exercise and yes, oh yes, eating of live food aka becoming a vegetarian. It’s a metaphor, which says whenever you help someone else, some of the benefits will come back right to you. Although I can’t give The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari my highest rating, because of the problem listed above, I still enjoyed it a lot and was highly inspired by it.

Habit: Opposition thinking – take every negative thought that comes into your mind and turn it into a positive one. Most of the teachings in this book are things you’ve probably heard before, but reading it and seeing it from Julian Mantle’s perspective gives it a whole new meaning. I assure you that before reading this book I tried many techniques stated here and it really helped me in one way or other. 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 love this video in which Jon Bon Jovi talks about The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, and this is a great summary of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.

In summary, the book doesn't espouse anything bad or incorrect, it just does it in a really pathetic and sometimes insultingly condescending way. Life's Simplest Pleasures Are Life's Greatest Joys: I guess this simply what the 'Developed' countries are suffering from. The book is centred on the life of Julian Mantle (a fictional character), who quit his job as a result of stress. Each chapter of the book tells the story of his spiritual experience during the journey, which he recounts to his best friend, John. The more disciplined you become in which thoughts you accept into your mind, the easier it’ll be to turn it into the beautiful, energizing garden you need.

When you resolve to lift your life to its highest level, the strength of your soul will guide you to a magical place with magnificent treasures.I also appreciate how the message behind each talisman is written at the back of the book, so you can refer to it whenever. There's so many great insights in this book, and endless quotations for you to highlight or stick somewhere prominent.
