I completed reading The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma, only to wonder why didn’t I read this earlier? Undoubtedly, this is the first self-help book that I read until the last page.
The book became well-known and reached mankind by word of mouth. Certainly, it’s a billion dollar book. I repeat. It’s a billion dollar book.
Each word in the book is like a diamond. You need to go through several processes, like the diamond, to actually live up to the words written in the book.
Robin Sharma, the writer, and the influencer engages the reader with his beautiful narration in dialogue form and never for a second makes the chapters monotonous.
Reviewing the book in a single blog is next to impossible. I’d personally recommend you to read the book first and later come back to this blog to ponder on the significant quotes from The monk who sold his Ferrari you’d never want to forget in life.
If you read the blog first I’m sure you’ll be urged to rush to the book shop or buy the book at the click of a button.
