1. The man is simple. He lives his word.

3. Robin Sharma is the ultimate source of inspiration on leadership development

For any person who has ever been at a point in life where he/she didn't know which way to go - whether to take the road less traveled or walk on the beaten down path, this book from Robin Sharma works like a GPS Navigation System.

It introduces you to your own true self,your own true values and beliefs and gives you the courage to take that bold step, that one step which could give your life a whole new direction, a whole new meaning.

It's never too late to begin. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. The protagonist in the novel only discovers that something's terribly wrong in his life - when he has a massive heart attack in the midst of a packed courtroom.Just think about this person for a moment

This was a man who had everything that you and me could crave for.
- Immense Wealth
- Women
- Fast Cars
- Fame
- And ofcourse- the coveted Ferrari

Basically he had the works, but yet his life was somehow hollow. He wasn't happy. He had a failed marriage. He had lost his health. He had lost his way.

That's when he decided to step up and take action. He took a sabbatical and wandered off the Himalayas where he met the wise Monks who taught him the timeless principles of living a happy and contented life.

Now before you begin to say, that you can't afford to head off to Himalayas in search of Nirvana,Hold on. Robin Sharma doesn't want you to. It is merely a metaphorical way of saying that you must take a hard look at your life and be totally committed to changing your life. You are responsible for the choices your make. This reminds me of the Robin's fundamental principles -which forms the foundation of many of his books and messages. His 3-step formula for success.

Awareness Precedes Choice which precedes Change.

With better awareness, you can make better choices and with better choices, you life will definitely change for the better

This book is an inspiration for all those persons who are so busy in shaping their lives and working towards their ideal life, that they forget to live their life along the way. They forget to the enjoy the little pleasures of life and enjoy the journey.

What I love about this book and about Robin Sharma in general, is all his messages or advice are extremely practical and can be implemented without having to quit our jobs and family and literally heading off to the Himalayas. The principles which are discussed in the book have a real world touch and are immensely believable and doable.

For those haven't read Robin Sharma - this is the place to begin. Trust me. This would really be the first day of a great life and you can make it happen.

Cheers!

This book by Robin Sharma is in essence a very simple book, but it can act as guiding force in your day to day life.

It has 365 days worth of daily inspiration. Each day is devoted to one particular inspirational quote or thought or idea. You can read the book all at once. One day at a time. One month at a time. But this is one book that you can keep reading again and again and again.

I have made a habit of reading a few pages of this book everyday before heading off to work. It really perks you up.

So if you are seeking non-stop inspiration throughout the year, this book on Daily Inspirations from Robin Sharma is not going to let you down.

Have you ever read a self development book, felt really great for a week or two and then slowly started sliding back to your oldself?

The primary reason why this happens,is there is usually no roadmap on how to implement these principles in your day to day life. Robin Sharma tries to counter this phenomenon through this book.

Mega Living is about a 30 day roadmap on bringing your life together on the right track. It provides you with day to day instructions on various aspects your life including food habits, exercise, will power techniques, relationship aspects.

By the end of 30 days you will notice improvement in each and every aspect of your life.

The best part of the book is that it acts like your life coach guiding you through each and every day and telling you what you need to do to improve your personal, professional and social life.

This is a must read for those who don't want to read through long discourses but prefer clear and concise instructions.

Very often I come across friends who do not like reading Non-fiction, philosophical books, because they are too long and boring and by the time the message of the book comes across, they have already fallen asleep. Also in this age, where time is at such a premium, it's important to get your message across as quickly as possible.

What I found while reviewing The Greatness Guide by Robin Sharma is that this is a book tailor made for the ultra busy 21st century professional.

No small talk. Great Ideas - straight to the point. Every page has a new idea, new learning, new life enhancing tools. Eminently readable. 101 great ideas and very aptly titled as the Greatness Guide. It is in fact a guide which addresses several aspects of your day to day life.

For those who may have read Robin Sharma's other books, several of the ideas and concepts may be familiar, but it is the concept and layout of this book, that is the clear winner. You can keep reading a few pages everytime you get a chance.

The other uncanny thing that I noticed about this book is that each time you read this book - one of the ideas will address some challenge or problem that you are currently facing in life. It's a great reference material for putting your life back in order.

Truly recommend both the books in this series - The Greatness Guide - by Robin Sharma. These are truly great books.
