Summary: Waste of Money
Review: I like to be honest in my reviews. The book is still at the bookstore. I thought it was a complete waste of money. I did read it for about ten minutes. It is one of many books on the market that are "how to" about managing your life.I like the book by Dr. Phil McGraw "Self Matters: Creating Your Life From the Inside Out". That book presents a strategic route to handle concerns and changes in one's life. It starts with questions and answers and then you make priority lists of things to do, i.e.: goals. It's an effective book and a top seller. The present book is about a guy that drove a Ferrari, made a lot of money, and is now selling these books on life tips through some sort of international marketing company. It reminds me of those infomercials on TV where for $9.95 they can make you a millionaire. Yeah right!! Save your money. Two stars. Jack in Toronto

Summary: 101 cures for lives of quiet desperation
Review: Motivational speaker-writers often seem to merely state the obvious, but that fact doesn't diminish the relevance of the message. We could all use a little jump-start every once in while. Robin Sharma gives us 101 of them in this easy-to-browse-through paperback, and each nugget takes up just one or two pages. Some suggestions are no-brainers: Keep a Journal, Become a Volunteer, Be a Better Parent, Walk in the Woods. Others are more intriguing: Have a Living Funeral, Don't Finish Every Book You Start, Create a Hero List, Find Your Place of Peace. And don't be jarred by the book's title: these recommendations are very much about making the opportunity to live the life you want to and augmenting your worthwhile existence. If you're a typical adult human, you're sure to find words of encouragement and some good ideas here. If you're listless or between jobs / relationships or struggling for a reason to get up in the morning, this little volume may just give you the [rear]-kicking you need. Keep _Who Will Cry_ next to your bed or in your briefcase / purse or in your top desk drawer. Whenever you feel as though you're just skimming on the surface of the day, pull out the book and open it up to a page at random. The advice won't erase reality; it'll give you another way of approaching it.

Summary: Power of Perspective
Review: Robin Sharma, the Author says: "When you live your truth, your dreams beat a path toward your doorstep". A practical solution to create a sound Life and strikingly balance life filling in the gaps with humility. Robin refers to his father's words that a tree that has most fruits is that which bends to the ground. And though there are some exceptions he have found in his own experience that it is true-the people who know the most, who have achieved the most, and have lived the most, are also the people closest to the ground. In a word, they are humble. There is something special about being in the presence of a person who is humble. Robin sharma thinks that practicing humility shows that you respect others and reminds us that there is something for us to learn. It sends a signal to those around you that you are open to receiving the gift of their knowledge and listening to what they have to say. The book is door to exceptional life and live life to the fullest with a purpose and attain peace. The book is indepth wisdom with absolute life changing solutions to cope with life's trials, challenges, frustrations and so on. As Robin Sharma recently visited India in preparation for the production of 'The Monk who sold his Ferrari' as a major motion picture, Robin reminded in his speech that wherever in the world he went, he found human beings struggle with same challenges, same longings. All people are part of one great family with invisible ties. Thus, peace is at your own doorstep and Robin Sharma's books are real 'Gem Picks' - Yeah, sure you can surf his website too and hear his Gem voice too! Good Pick & Great Message.
