Summary: Pure Bliss
Review: An excellent book on how to live a happy life, although it might not suit everyone's conception: the book does provide a remarkable aid to gain greater insight on how to find your true personal happiness. Written in a simple but profound and truthful way, the book will provide the reader with an excellent method of opening to life's possibilities. Highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to liberate themselves from assumptions and preconceptions that rule our daily lives(and that's where we all should start).

Summary: Amazing - life changing book!!!!!
Review: Everyone should have this book. I have read Robin Sharma's books before, but this, by far is the absolute best - I could not put it down. This is not your regular self-help book but it is a way to make deep transformations in your life. I loved it! Read this extraordinary book!

Summary: Wish I could say something nice....
Review: I expected a well crafted story with nuggets of wisdom freely imparted to the reader. Instead, I found myself growing irritated as I read the book - not exactly the type of vibration I want! The book reads like a first draft for a mediocre school writing project. The story is choppy, the dialogue horrible and the "nuggets of wisdom" unoriginal. This was one of those very rare times when I've read a book and wished I had spent the time reading something else. I have great respect for Hay House and am surprised they would have published this.

Summary: Sharma is great, but read his The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
Review: I'd rate this book higher, but it really steals the basic plot setup of his earlier book THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI. Read that book for an unbeatable story with great lessons for living.

Summary: Poorly written book with no original content
Review: If you want to learn about what the author wanted to say, read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective people by Stehpen Covey. 90% of the contents of this book is contained in Covey's book, only in a much more detailed and convincing form. The remaining 10 % you will in find in other pop success books. Stay away from this one, you will find much better success books.

Summary: Outstanding! Robin Sharma gets better and better
Review: Robin Sharma has not only done it again- but he has done it better. I have read all of Robin's books and attended a number of his seminars. Robin is a gifted writer and speaker on leadership- both within organizations and on personal leadership. Truly a joy to read, his words will help transform your life-if you practice what Robin teaches such that it becomes a part of you. This is definitely a book to not only read over and over again, but one that you must live daily and teach to everyone you know.

Summary: The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO: A Remarkable Story About
Review: Robin Sharma is growing and evolving, and his latest effort reflects that. "The Saint, the Surfer and the CEO" is a wonderfully told story that everyone will relate to. If you are in need of a little inspiration, a little encouragement, a little hope or a little clarity...read the book. Sharma's storytelling style and his character's dialogue tends to be somewhat corny and maudlin at times, but you know what? The message is so uplifting and enlightening that it is very easy for me to overlook. I highly recommend this.

Summary: something old, something new, something borrowed...
Review: Several years ago I visited a trendy restaurant and ordered their chicken mango salad. Some delicious bits of chicken and mango arrived, nestled in a bizarre mishmash of strange colored and shaped lettuce. I politely picked through the lettuce and ate what I could endure, but the overall experience was one of confusion and disappointment. All those feelings came back when I read this book.Robin Sharma provides life lessons via the fictional story of Jack Valentine, an advertising executive who is reunited with his long-lost father as they share a hospital room. On his deathbed, Cal Valentine sends Jack on a mystical journey to meet three mentors -- you guessed it -- a priest, a surfer and a CEO. Writers such as Og Mandino and Paolo Coelho have mastered this style, delivering clear, profound messages through believable dialogue. Sharma doesn't come close here...the dialogue is stiff, unrealistic and unnatural. It is littered with dozens of profound quotes that deliver a great message, but send the hokey factor sky high. Success principles appear to have been cut from other sources and pasted in these pages with not much thought given to organization or flow. The gist of Sharma's message is to submit to the will of "the universe" for your life and follow your true vocation. Some won't mind this message, but I was surprised to see that "God" is almost avoided like a four letter word in these pages, even by the priest. Just like that chicken mango salad, there are some good nuggets to be found here, but you can save yourself the agony of picking through the jungle of lettuce by reading the summary on the last three pages.
