This is my second Robin Sharma’s book, following “The Leader who had no title.”
I bought it with RM 34.90 (before 10% membership discount) at Popular bookstore. And guess what, I just happened to find its pdf file here, for free?!
Firstly, I have to say this is a very well-titled book. It doesn’t just tell you what the book is about, it also attracts people to pick it up, wanting to read the content. I’ve taken quite some time to read it, though it’s such a small book. I wanted to slowly digest it, and practise what it says whenever possible.
So the book is written in the form of a story, saying to…
- master your mind
- follow your purpose
- practice kaizen
- live with discipline
- respect your time
- selflessly serve others
- embrace present
It’s practical, it is practicable. I don’t like so much of theories and meaning and quotes, when they tell you this and that, without telling you how to do it, achieve it, without giving you the application tools. But Robin does tell you what to do. So the only problem is – whether you do it.
I think every house should have a copy of it. It might not help everyone all the time (though a friend told me Robin’s books have been with her through ups and downs), it should still be worthwhile to go back to it once in a while.
It’s not what you will get out of the books that’s so enriching – it’s what the books will get out of you that will ultimately change your life
