Secret Letters of the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari Review
Secret Letters of the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
by Robin Sharma
If you have kept up with my blogs, or raided by bookshelf or my ipod or my Twitter, you would probably notice that I own every book, audio recording, video and podcast by Robin Sharma.
Formerly a lawyer, he is a speaker, author and business/self-help guru (a word he never uses to describe himself).
Much like "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", Robin's first best-seller, this book offers teachings on success in business and in life through the journey of the protagonist, Jonathan, the cousin of Julian, for those of you familiar with the main character from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.
When we first meet Jonathan, he has separated from his wife, worries he has disappointed his young son by not being there for him, works long hours at a job he has grown to dislike and he is emotionally, physically and spiritually depleted.
Motivated by the concern of his mother, he agrees to meet up with Julian and reluctantly begins an adventure to recover talismans from Julian's friends all over the globe and return them safely to his cousin.
As the reader is drawn deeper into the journey, the importance of the talismans becomes clearer and the purpose of the journey, and of life, begins to unfold. In the end, it is the lessons learned from the characters we meet and the journey itself which teaches us what we need to know.
Part fable, part microcosm of our own existence, this journey is not without moments of enlightenment, joy and peace.
I was impressed by this book. It is different than Robin's previous works but still has the same heart, riveting storyline and interesting characters. If you follow Jonathan on this journey, I guarantee you will find enjoyment, light and peace. And, if you haven't picked up any of Robin Sharma's other books, including The Leader Who Had No Title , The Greatness Guide, The Saint the Surfer and the CEO, among many others, what are you waiting for?!?
I highly recommend this book!!!
