In just 21 days of practicing and applying techniques from this book my life became more rich and successful. I was never able to focus or to make a real commitment, but this book did miracles to my life. I do recommend it highly to everyone regardless of who you are and what you do, this book is a must.

Summary: Chicken Soup for the Millionaire Soul
Review: Unfortunately, I WASTED my hard earned money on this one. I expected a story in the same realm as Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, because that was the way it was marketed in my bookstore. However, what I found was a trite and shallow narrative about how a multi-millionaire found peace and harmony in India. Throughout the entire book I kept laughing to myself, shaking my head and thinking, "of course this guy found inner-peace, I would too if I had a few million dollars in the bank back home and went on a extended holiday to India." Nice try Robin S. Sharma, I didn't buy into your make-believe world. My recommendation: For all you billionaires out there, you might find a small bit of inspiration in this book. For the rest of us save, your money or better yet, buy another up-lifting book that will actually move you to reach for your dreams. I highly recommend The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho.

Summary: I was very disappointed.
Review: Unique, yes. But rhetorical and cliche, too. Example: What do you want more than anything in life? When you know the answer, focus your mind on getting there. Sure, that's easy for a monk to say. What else is he going to do in the Himalayan Mountains?

Summary: Spiritual Find
Review: With clients like Minolta, Oracle, Microsoft, Kraft, Hershey's, Orange, FedEx, Panasonic to name a few, Robin Sharma has entered into the hearts of Indians with his latest speeches in Delhi and Bangalore and # 1 selling Book 'The Monk who sold his Ferrari' has created waves to spell genuine passion for reading esp. among Business class. The book reveals wisdom to know the real inner spiritual self rathar than the one inundated with materialistic possessions. The Himalyan guru's wis' advice on way, to Julian Mantle, a high-profile attorney in this fable story, preaches to dig spirituality within self and conveys the message to think that what lies behind you or before you is nothing compared to what is withing your own good inner self. There is the sane advice to create a live of passion, live it purposefully and peacefully. Julian's life was out of balance and his spiritual self is nourished with wise advice on joyful living by developing joyful thoughts, follow life's mission to reach goals, develop relationships fruitfully and live to satisfaction with courage and discipline, come what may! The book has most inspirational values and is a captivating story even Ricky Martin and Jon Bon Jovi seems to be a fan of Robin Sharma. A lawyer himself, Robin's book is a gem to touch and change lives to live in spirituality. However, it is never so important like the fable to travel delights through Himalayas for the sage advice. The main concept is to look within and live peacefully with spirituality within and take time out from the drowsy, monotonous life of materialistic world. Make life more meaningful and take a pause - a break (An Osho discourse!) A good Pick for a Read to Digest.

Summary: Excellent approach to the path to enlightment
Review: Yes, of course reluctant at first...like with many help-self like books...but this had a trick.. a challenge in the first chapter or so. Whas I going to take the mistic challange or just throw the book away like many it seems (too bad for them). Sometimes a man neads corage..."Great dreamers don't only achieve their dreams, they trancend them"... the book it's so on it. In Fiction the book presents seven techniques.. one divided in 10 using a monk who sold his ferrari to travel to the Himalayas for an enlighted life and specially mind-control
