This book is easy to handle, as each thought and idea is independent of the rest and is contained in only 2 or 3 pages, at the most. On the contents page, you can choose from the suggestions based on the short description, and highlight those that resonate with you to come back to. Starting from number 1 - Discover Your Calling, to number 14 - Remember, Genius Is 99 Percent Inspiration, number 34 is Enjoy the Path, Not Just the Reward, and Number 81 - Don't Pick Up the Phone Every Time It Rings. With the trouble and disturbance a call phone can cause, that should be a rule everyone has to agree to before they are allowed a cell phone.
Robin refers to his father's words that a tree that has most fruits is that which bends to the ground. And he says that, though there are some exceptions, he has 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 from everyone, however small or big h or she is.
The book is basically a compilation of lessons for the reader. They are simple, lucid and real life situations and possibilities. One can say they are ”great little pick-me-ups!” “Cry when u die" reminds you of what you are losing in life. Each lesson is a lesson for life. You will start enjoying the small things in life. The language is simple and easy to understand. A must for everyone!! .
The book is an eye opener in a way. It tells us what we are missing in life and encourages us to make full use of what it offers so that we remain happy. It also tells us how we can cope with changing situations, trials, challenges, frustrations and so on.
Also in one of his speeches, Robin Sharma that, in his travels around the world, he found that human beings struggle with same challenges and the same desires. All of humanity is 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 and hear him too !!!!!
