I was introduced to Robin Sharma’s book at business school. I thought I’d explore the topic of leadership having studied it formally. Leadership is a topic that needs time to germinate and grow. Learning all the theory only prepares you to begin your journey.
What I enjoyed about this book is the way Sharma’s humility comes through in all the 8 lessons he imparts throughout the fable. I use this as one of my “must reads” for developing managers and entrepreneurs. It certainly enlightened me.

April 7, 2015لا أحد ينكر ان هذا الكتاب له تأثير خاص عليك عندما تقرأه
ولكن تبقى المشكلة هي "هل نستطيع فعل كل ماقاله جوليان ؟\!
فيه افكار جميلة جدا وبسيطة لتعيش حياتك المثالية
وبإذن الله سأحاول تطبيقها
من اكثر الأشياء التي ركز عليها هي
- اسأل نفسك كل صباح ماذا تفعل لو كان هذا آخر يوم في حياتك ؟
-افعل ماتحب فأنت ستعيش حياة واحدة فقط .. إن فاتت لن تستطيع تعويضها
والكثير من النصائح الجميلة بالنسبة لمن يباشرون دخول عالم الحياة الفعلي وعليهم تحديد مهنهتم المستقبلية فسيكون من الرائع ان تسمع لنصائح محام ستيني (جوليان) الذي امضى حياته في تهدير وقته ومطاردة المال والشهرة عوض عن الحياة بحرية وسلام داخلي .. ولكنه بالنهاية اكتشف ذلك ولا يمكننا ان نقول متأخرا لأن التغيير لايعرف عمرا ابدا ..

Many books have been written on "Leadership" but this is one of the finest amongst them simply because it is simple and anyone can relate to what has been written. Robin Sharma is a master at story telling but along with that he comes up vignettes like "Self-discipline is the DNA of visionary leadership. Self discipline is what allows a leader to go beyond knowing to doing" and "Knowledge that remains unapplied is worthless. Success is not determined by what you know. Lasting success comes only through acting on what you know, putting into practice". There are number of such quotable quotes that are repository of wisdom like "Hunt for good, not perfect behaviour and get people excited about their improvements". Perhaps the best one relates to appreciating people : "Most people appreciate praise more than any form of recognition and yet they rarely receive it". How true

Got this book as a Christmas friends gift at office.
Purely from a book review perspective, the book is pretty bad. Repetitive in its narration and no new ideas in its presentation when compared with any of this other works. I had to struggle to finish the book and I am quite sure I glazed off in between reading some of the sections. Took me a long time to slog through it.

من ناحية أفكار الكتاب فهو ما بيختلف عن بقية كتب التنمية )سيطر على عقلك, احترم وقتك., عش بانضباط....)
الجديد يمكن هو جمع هي الأفكار في قصة سهل إنك تتذكرها
أسلوب الكتابة مو ظريف أبداً
و بستغرب جداً كون هاد الكتاب واحد من أكثر الكتب مبيعاً

Picked up the book from the railway station for a train journey. I have not yet read the book "The monk who sold his Ferrari", but knew about the popularity of the book, so decided to give this book a shot.
Though I was disinterested while I read first few chapters when the narrative story was being woven, but as the author started to talk about the real stuff, the 8 wisdom lessons, the book started getting interesting. Very inspiring when I had read the whole book, with some great quotes from all time leaders. After reading this, I am inclined to read other motivational books.
I recommend this to others who want to make a change in themselves but have been delaying it for their own reasons. This book would at the least encourage you to start reading more.
I am giving it a 4, the best rating till date I have giving to any book.
My next is going to be "The monk who sold his Ferrari".

October 8, 2012This is a sequel to author's fabulously successful, The Monk Who Sold His Safari.
The author has distilled the essence of Leadership Wisdom entwined in a fable in the preceding book.
Here the format is retained that of a fable-telling narrative, but the content is thick with truisms, and necessaary explanations,of Leadership Wisdom.
The author has presribed Eight Rituals, which when practiced, in spirit, would help transform the leadership behaviour to that of a visionary leader.
These rituals are:
1. The Ritual of Compelling Future Focus
2. The Ritual of Human Relations
3. The Ritual of Team Unity
4. The Ritual of Adaptability and Change Management
5. The Ritual of Personal Effectiveness
6. The Ritual of Self-Leadership
7. The Ritual of Creativity and Innovation
8.The Ritual of Contribution and Significance
The style makes the book quite readable. In fact, it may lead to sense of ease, in mis-assuming that the craft and art of leadership is so easy to master.
Well, author has put several pointers to the contrary, while providing a do-it-yourself formulae to Leadership Development.

Nota 3.7 ⭐️
Imi place ca a livrat mesajele ambalate intr-o forma indirecta; nesimtind (neaparat) ca e o alta carte motivationala/de dezvotlare care’ti bate la poarta mintii precum martorii lui Iehova la usa - aruncandu’ti itemii ‘corecti’ pe gat in jos.
Invataturile sunt mesajele clasice clasificandu-le in ritualuri:
1. Asociaza salariulnfu scopul urmarit
2. Stapaneste cu mintea, condu cu inima
3. Fa din recompensa un obicei, recunoaste permanent meritele celorlalti
4. Abandoneaza-te schimbarii
5. Focalizeaza-te asupra lucrurilor care conteaza cu adevarat
6. Fii propriul lider
7. Vezi ceea ce vad toti ceilalati, gandeste precum nimeni altceva nu gandeste
8. Ca lider - lasa in urma ta o mostenire
Constructia cartii m’a atras si nici mesajele nu au plictisit. Este o carte potrivita pentru orice om care-si cauta ustensilele pentru a-si ascutii simturile, perceptiile si gandurile.

If anybody asks me, which is my ideal choice for a Class X Moral Science text book? I would say, Leadership Wisdom! A pleasant experience reading this one. Robin Sharma explains a few outdated or already known theories with respect to Leadership. In my humble opinion, Leadership in the Corporate world is far more demanding and skillful than he has made it out to be in the book. A good practical guide for students, in the early part of their childhood. From an adult's viewpoint, a good means to find some exposure to moral values. A bit philosophical, but that should be fine because small dosage is very effective and not harmful. Oh! I see the Moral Science question paper being readied for me. Got to go. Read this one, if you want to feel like a child again!

Nisam mogla da se nateram da je procitam do kraja. Ne prijaju mi njegove knjige jednostavno, kao da citam gomilu nabacanih statusa sa fejsbuka. I to osrednjih. Ne drzi paznju, pise o stvarima koje su drugi mnogo bolje docarali, o opstepoznatim stvarima... Ni kaludjer mi se nije svideo.. ne postoji uputstvo za dobar zivot, to morate sami da izvucete. A u tome vam mnogo vise mogu pomoci neke druge knjige.

Αυτό που θα κρατήσω από αυτό το βιβλίο είναι ότι ειπώθηκε για τον ύπνο. Ότι δηλαδή οι σημερινοί άνθρωποι κοιμούνται περισσότερο απ'όσο χρειάζονται. Έχουν αποκτήσει αυτή τη συνήθεια να παρακοιμούνται και μετά ισχυρίζονται ότι το σώμα του δεν μπορεί χωρίς αυτό τον ύπνο. Ο πραγματικός όμως λόγος που δεν ξυπνούν νωρίς είναι γιατί δεν ξέρουν τι να κάνουν με το χρόνο τους αν το έκαναν.Δεν έχουν ένα σκοπό που να τους παθιάζει και να ενεργοποιεί τη ζωή τους. Κι έτσι κοιμούνται.

Идеята за предаване на методология за лидерство чрез измислен разказ е добра, но историята е доста посредствена. На моменти разговорите между двамата герои са отчайващо глупави, особено репликите на директора на голямата компания. Като изключим това, има какво да се научи от книгата.

Robin S.Sharma là một người có khả năng kể chuyện rất hay, nhưng nội dung trong sách thì không có gì mới mẻ cả.
Nhớ ra là những cuốn sách lãnh đạo của Maxwell tuy khô khan nhưng chắc là lựa chọn tốt hơn cho kĩ năng lãnh đạo bản thân và lãnh đạo đội nhóm.

I heard about this book on a podcast. It’s filled with great quotes and even greater explanations and real-life stories. Julian Mantle teaches Robin Sharma about how the purpose of life is a life of purpose and why continuous self discovery and will power are essential.
He also talks about the importance of time management and explains the Ancient Rule of Twenty which states only 20% of what you do will yield real, lasting results; These are known as high impact activities.
Additionally, he talks about how the quality of life comes down to the quality of our contributions.
I wish schools made us read books like this instead of Shakespeare (nothing wrong with Shakespeare but these are the books that deliver practical knowledge).
MUST READ.

Nice book about leadership. It’s kind of the continue to the book “the monk who sold his Ferrari”. It’s a nice parable about how to implement leadership in your life and business and to lead your organization/compliant to success through better leadership.

Just read this book. I am already reading it for the second time because it is inspiring for us all.
Thank you for such a wonderful and inspiring book; I aspire to be better as a person, a leader and a human.

Một cuốn sách mà mình rất hài lòng trong thời gian vừa qua. Dễ đọc, dễ hiểu, những câu chuyện trong cuốn sách khiến ta cảm nhận rõ ràng về những con người lãnh đạo tài ba phải có những tính cách như thế nào. Và muốn lãnh đạo được những người khác bạn phải làm gì.

This is another one of those books that goes beyond a rating, so I made sure to take the time and actually write this review out.
Normally, it takes me about four days to finish a book, but with this one I took my time. When I read self-help books like this, I move slower, take notes as I go, and reflect on them later.
This book goes beyond business. It’s personal. It feels like having a life coach in your hands. I’ve read a lot of self-help books, so I’m familiar with many of the concepts Robin Sharma touches on, but this one reinforces them in a way that feels different. The story makes it feel like the monk is right there with you, like Julian is truly walking you through it, almost like a friend teaching you in real time.
A lot of what’s shared connects to universal principles you’ll recognise if you read books in this space, but it’s presented in a way that makes it easy to apply to everyday life. It pushes a way of living that’s rooted in calm, purpose, and serenity, and that’s what hit me the most. The message landed so deeply that it made me want to share it with others. It’s empowering, practical, and genuinely worth reading.
I’m glad I finally finished it. Now I’m about to start going through the notes I took and really put the lessons into practice.

I have read books on leadership, the philosophy of success, and appropriate approaches to management in the past. This book simply didn't work for me.
The author has clearly taken some well chosen ideas for self improvement, particularly for those in leadership positions, and supported it with a narrative of a student learning from a master. In this case the student is a CEO in need of desperate guidance, and the master is a retired lawyer turned monk. Perhaps it is due to my own philosophy and approach to leadership, which is similar in many ways to the 8 rituals outlines in the book, but I simply found nothing particularly redeeming for me in this book.
I think that leaders or managers who find themselves at a loss at how to motivate their team might gain some wisdom from the book. And those who find self help books a way to inspire their change might also find it helpful. I simply felt I was being told things I already adhere to, and in a way that irritated me rather than inspired.
I have a feeling this is a book that many people love (or will) but while it wasn't something that I hated, it just wasn't for me. Don't get me wrong. Mr. Sharma has an enjoyable writing style and his narrative could be fun, but I found parts so far from realistic and others less than inspiring for me, that it is clear that I am not his target audience. I rank this book as 'ok'.

The central conceit of the book, that of a selfish CEO of a failing company coming across a former colleague who is now a monk, and who gradually changes his outlook and makes him a better man and businessman, doesn't really work. The characters are little more than mouthpieces for the author's ideas; as fictional characters they are unsatisfying.
If you can get past that, however, on the level of a non-fiction, motivational book about good leadership, the book is actually pretty good, and offers some sound advice pretty succinctly. I found that a lot of it concurred with what I intuitively believed about good leadership, and made me think a lot about what works and what doesn't work in managing and motivating people.
So if you are looking for that kind of book and can look past the somewhat clunky fictional construct, give this book a go.

It is a phenomenal sequel to The Monk who Sold his Ferrari. A company which at one point of time was of much acclaimed fame and the most coveted one, plunged into darkness for the reasons not known to its CEO, Peter Franklin. At this juncture, his long forgotten friend, Julian Mantle stepped into his life, to assist him in overcoming this phase of life. Julian, through his ways of wisdom made Franklin discover his shortfalls and rejuvenate his entire portfolio with his eight practical lessons.
One of the major reasons for devouring Robin Sharma's books is that his works are the manifestations of the innermost self that manage to bind the reader's interest. The reader synchronises the character with himself and craves to imbibe his phenomenology.

Wonderful and a very inspiring book, everyone should read it and not only business man or woman.
I must confess this is not the kind of book I would usually choose to read, but my father recomended it to me and even when I was reluctant at first,right on the first page I start to enjoy it and to see all the wisdom it contain.
I wont say more, I would only repeat that everybody should do it, no mater what you do for a living, this book will change your mind or will remind you of things you already know deep inside but you keep forgeting.
