I don't know about this. I started it about 10 times and dropped it like it's hot NOT. Maybe I need to get in the proper mood for this. And the overflowing cup metaphor? How many times has this frakking Chinese legend been retold? 50 times? 1000 times? It's nice to think about the first couple hundred times I heard it but by the present moment it's my killswitch. I have read about it literally everywhere! Including spam and ads on miraculous stuff to get my nonexistent dick larger!I can't even r...
Once again I am disappointed by a book because I misunderstood what I was getting into.I honestly thought this was a biographical account of a dude who really did sell all his posessions and wander off to discover the meaning of life. But that's just the ruse the author uses to tell you what he believes are the secrets of life.It's basically a beginner's insight into spiritual development in a form similar to both The Courage to be Disliked and The Alchemist, in that it uses a fictional discussi...
"The monk who sold his Ferrari" can be called as life-changing novel!These kind of novels add essence to your life and gives you direction specially in the hard times. It gives you the answer to the questions like What is the purpose of life? How we can attain happiness and satisfaction? etc..Nothing in it is Unknown to us yet it makes us notice that "Known"!It tells us to savor each moment with exuberance along with an aim in life.. It is our prerogative to lead a happy successful and rewarding...
A mediocre book. Although the author has tried to make the book full of wisdom, it hardly achieve its desired result - of helping an individual; it utterly fails to make any impact.
Now I rarely read a book and stopped halfway.Unless if it's really really boring.Such as this one.And it wasn't supposed to be boring. Because it's a fable.But I didn't get anything out of it.So halfway reading, I skim through the rest.I have the habit of joting down verses/nice words from my readings and..this book failed to give me anything.Other than that.. I feel like it's a 'trying too hard version'of 'The Secret', 'Eat Pray Love' (the 'Pray section) and 'Tuesday with Morrie'So sadly to say...
I categorized this book under spoofs because it made me laugh so much. I wanted to stop reading it because I found it ridiculous, but I wouldn't feel worthy of panning it here if I hadn't completed it and the joy of sharing my take on this book kept me turning pages and dog-earring quotable pages.First, let me be clear, I like me some cheese; I like it with crackers and I like it with wine and I like it in my entertainment and personal growth. That this book is cheesier than a Velveeta factory w...

The monk who sold his Ferrari, is a misleading title. The man who sold his Ferrari and became a monk would have been more accurate. The idea of a monk driving a Ferrari is somewhat thought-provoking and made me smile. The book itself was a merger between fiction and instruction on techniques to perfect your life experience. It’s an easy-to-read book (I read it in an afternoon) and the structure works well making it easy to remember what went before, or where to look for a particular part. From a...
It's the type of book that reminds you of life lessons you probably knew but never applied. It touches upon simple things that we can do that will make big differences in our lives.
The first time I read this book I just loved it. I read it at the time when I was asking myself questions regarding 'What to do with my life?'. I found the book very energizing, giving me a lot of inspiration and motivation to go on and many answers to my questions. When I read the book the second time, it didn't seem to have the same effect. PS! Who is looking for great literary value, will be disappointed. Sharma is no writer, but if you can focus on the message, it won't bother.
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is basically a self help book told in the format of a story. It is filled with positivity and motivation. And there is plenty of wisdom in the book. But the book does seem ridiculous at times and it feels like one is reading an infomercial script. The book did uplift me and filled me with positive vibes at times, but it still didn't convince me to sell my Ferrari (if I had one).
Just another terribly mediocre book trying to sell some cheap philosophy!
Reread the book after a decade.So glad I did!*Review Coming Up.Read it in my 20s. Recommended 💁 Time to reread 📌
