This book came to me at the right time, as when my father departed, I had a tough time going on for me, and from the moment that happened, I have lost a fatherly figure to guide me through in life.
Some ideas from this book stayed with me is that, the challenges and obstacles in life is much needed to make your life much more richer, and being able to overcome those difficulties would make your life much more rewarding.

"وأنت الآن على مشارف نهاية هذا الكتاب ، وقارب الوقت الذي قضيناه معًا على الانتهاء ، أدعوك إلى التفكر في الحقائق التي قدمها لك بكل صدق وإخلاص .
تأمل فيما ترغب أن تدافع عنه وفي الأثر الذي تريد أن تتركه وراءك ، ثم تأمل بعد ذلك في هذه الكلمات : حتى ألفظ أنفاسي الأخيرة ، سأظل أقوم بهذا العمل لاعتقادي أنه قدر لي هذا الدور ، ولن أفعل ذلك من أجل المال ، ولا من أجل الشهرة ، ولكن لكي أجعل حياة البشر حياةً أفضل ...!"
هذا هو باختصار نفس روبن شارما في كتبه بشكل عام وفي كتاب " دليل العظمة " بشكل خاص ..

I don't typically read self-improvement drivel - it bores me to tears and drives me crazy that people (more cunning than me) are able to package this excrement between shiny covers and make enough cabbage to buy that nice cabin on the ski mountain... Anyway, not sure what drove me to buy this particular book at the airport one day, but picked it up on the way home from Burbank one week and loved almost every page. The key here is that you have to adjust your expectations and go into it know what...more
In this book, Robin Sharma has vividly explained the major premises of successful life in simple and brief statements. There are many crisp ideas in this book that are capable of creating indelible positive impressions in reader's mind.
The author's powerful statements have been strengthened in many places by very relevant quotes from great men. For example, here is one from Martin Luther King Jr: If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or...more

A chapter a day to keep laziness at bay

Self awakening - one word that defines Robin Sharma’s book “The Greatness Guide”. And ya, be mindful of your reading habits, as each chapter starts and ends ASAP. Chances are there that you will drive yourself to complete the book in one or two sittings. However, it is only when you read, re-read, chapter by chapter, line by line, and word by word that you get to understand that the book is an absolute stunner - a fodder for personal and pro...more

كتاب متميز بكل ما للكلمة من معنى ، أفكار سلسة متناغمة تشجع القارئ على السعي نحو الابداع و التميز، بأسلوب بسيط يعكس جزءا جميلا من روح المؤلف، الذي يمكنني أن ألمس تواضعه و شيئا كثيرا من تفاؤله من خلال قراءة بعض فصول كتاب " دليل العظمة" .
القيادة تحتل جزءا كبيرا من موضوع الكتاب، لذلك نجد أنه قد أُشمِل كثيرا من الأقوال لأشخاص قياديين أبدعوا في مختلف المجالات. متعةُ كبيرة ترافق قراءة هذا الكتاب، و هو ما حدا بي الى قراءة الجزء الثاني منه، فقراءته جمعٌ بين المتعة و الفائدة !

Recommended by my friend on Twitter, this book is very inspiring. I listened to Sharma on the audiotapes and read the book, simultaneously. I liked the fact that the chapters are short, and I made notes of many concise ideas, such as "Where your focus goes your energy flows."
The reason I'm not giving it more than three stars is that Sharma becomes really annoying when he starts talking about his personal stories; he seems to exaggerate the emotional part of these tales including his gushing ove...more

Reading is a pretty ordinary word for this book.
The contents are by no means a surprise to any one.
Itz all we know but still forget to recap and practise.
I have been deliberately going pretty slow on this book and practising
the things being dealt with in this book.
Any body who wants to improve their life pattern and are proactive in trying to find a guide would simply love this book.

"The Monk who sold his Ferrari"

كتاب رائع يحتوي على نصائح قيّمة عميقة
This was an impulse buy while in Barnes & Noble one day, and I love it - I continue to reread it constantly, reading a lesson a day as an affirmation and smart thought to work on. I have not read his other books, but have since subscribed to his blog.
I keep this book close and refer to it often. VERY highly recommended as one you pick up and dip into whenever you need some inspiration, or just want to tweak your attitude. However it is not preachy: The size of his entries are perfect, with t...more

Another great book by Robin Sharma. However the first was better :)
Its good but not powerful like the first one.
This is a very powerful read. Robin has beautifully captured the essence of true living. Every page, leaves you craving for more. Though every page is a chapter, he has added such apt examples to it. By reading the book, you can clearly understand how passionately robin leads his life and encourages us to do the same.
He has a clear way of looking at life, and simplifies our biggest problems, teaching us clearly to prioritize whats Important. Its a must read, for all the ones loosing their peace...more

The is a book you must definitely read if you want to a life-changing experience. "The Greatness Guide" really emphasizes on the fact that all of us can achieve our goals if we have believe in ourselves. Sharma truly has a natural gift in inspiring people. Although some advices are common knowledge, it's pretty refreshing to be reminded of all those facts again. I'm only on the first few chapters but I can honestly say that this is one of the best inspiring book for people who wish to achieve mo...more
روبين شارما " دليل العظمة "
تناول روبين شارما فكرة القيادة و السعي للعظمة من خلال 101 نقطة محورية تكفي – دون شرحها- كي تكون مرجعاًً رائعاً لك في سعيك نحو الأفضل وما حاولت أن أفعله هو أن ألخص الكتاب و لكنه قد تمدد معي بعض الشيء، على أي حال أنصحك بقراءته ربما يفيدك وربما يغريك لقراءة الكتاب حتى تتعمق أكثر في أسرار القيادة ( التلخيص عبارة عن أهم العبارات و النقاط التي استوقفتنى عند القراءة .. لذا هي مجرد رأي شخصي لرؤيتي الخاصة )

كتاب 101 خاطرة مليئة بالفائدة الجديدة بأسلوب سهل ممتنع.

هذا الكتاب من الممكن أن يقرأ في كل مكان .. في الطائرة كما فعلت , في المطار كما فعلت, في السفرات كما فلعت , في البيت كما فعلت , عند إلقاء محاضرة الجامعة كما فعلت, في السيارة كما فعلت .. و لا أتذكر أيضا أين قرأت هذا الكتاب أيضا.

I have to admit, I'm often annoyed by motivational speakers and their sage advice. That being said, I did enjoy Sharma's guide.
As summer draws to a close, this inspirationall read is a great way to renergize. Filled with buzz words, catch phrases and quotes, this easy read provides a nice combination of tips for a successful, happy and balanced professional and personal life. Sharma does a great job of boiling everything down to the most important things in life like being great by being happy.

I have to admit, I hated this book. I found it to be obnoxious, condescending, and of very little value. The chapters were 2 to 3 pages long and in essence resulted in the author's random ramblings on what he consistently pointed out to us were "Big Ideas." or "Important Points" (he actually wrote out these two word sentences over and over again to ensure we realized how important his messages were). I found nothing genuinely new or unique in this book, but rather obvious points or rehashed idea...more
I've seen a lot of self help books but this one is my favorite amongst all. I read it every week and I reccomend everyone to do so as well! The book has 101 chapters and in each chapter, Robin Sharma writes about one good idea that can help you lead your life better. Some of the ideas he gave include: Make Time To Think Everyday, Read To Lead, Take More Risks, Listen Well, Wake Up Early etc. You DO NOT need to read any other book in your life if you read this one and APPLY the suggestion he's gi...more
It deserves 4.5 on my rating scale. A really good book. Motivating and inspiring. The style of writting is very simple makes you feel that Robin himself is directly talking to you. The book had many concepts on how to lead and improve your life and leave an impact on others. I've very much liked the concept of burning boats in order to challenge yourself and fight in the battle of life. Recommended to anyone who is willing for a change or having a rough time chasing his/her dream(s).
I have always liked Robin Sharma's books. This one is a delight, the best thing about it is that you can read it from anywhere you want. Small things are very important in life and Robin Sharma makes you realise it with every chapter. This book should be in everyone's list because we always need some wise thoughts to keep us on track!
