The Monk speaks after selling his Ferarri!

What is the monk left with after selling his Ferrari?? Any guesses??Handful of piteous advices and a book titled such!
After the massive success (as Sharmaji puts it, although it was a huge failure in my books) a different pattern of self help book is put forth. Mr. Robin Sharma, here discusses the 101 “things to do” so that people cry when you die?? Err sounds absurd though. This is what the book is titled!

The book in the first places carries an utterly wrong title and confuses the readers who wish to win hearts and gets disappointed to finds nothing to do with becoming a better person. This book, to brief up is a guide on effective utilization of time that then converts you to a better “self manned” individual. No surprises folks. This time Sharmaji have been kind enough to dole out some sensible advices and to my pleasure have shared some names of nice books (though he never mentioned the authors) in his 101 tips.

Coming to 101 tips, these constitute for the plot of the book. A refreshing change from loads of gyan thrown from professional self help speakers, here, one can afford to skip the pages and the elements if need be. The book would certainly not loose its charm (if any) and continuity this way.

The language used is simple and makes sense most of the time though Robin Sharma never misses an opportunity to show off his accolades for the monk who sold his Ferrari; though I secretly wonder if he really got any. He mentions his speeches and his status as a professional speaker at the drop of a hat and makes a hue of it. Nevertheless, he summons up some already known and some known but less practiced fundas of life which certainly are appealing and sensible.

All in all with his “limited resources”, he has compiled a decent read for people with more patience than intelligence!! Be cautious with the title though, you may not get what you thought the title would bear.
