I have been a fan of Sharma’s book since his The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. Afterward, each and every title he wrote was a must have and must read. Inspiring maybe the most appropriate single word I would say about his books. He made me realize that the ultimate meaning of our life is very simple and can be achieved by consistently taken simple steps. In principle he promoted the importance of being clear with our objectives and focus to achieve them whilst maintaining good relationship with others.
But this particular one released without my awareness. I did not know that he has just released a new title until I saw it at a bookshop. I was really surprised to find it in the “new release” shelf at Periplus close to my office mid of March. A bit expensive for a soft cover book, and I paid only a half of this price to buy his previous titles. Even more surprised when I checked the publication date, March 2010. So I got a book at the same month of its publication. Not a surprise for local book, but for a book published in America, it was amazing. If I make a pre-order at amazon.com, it would take a month on shipping.
Anyway, for a Sharma’s book, even if it was priced more, I would have bought anyway. I spent about $30 for this book plus a bit more for another title which was the reason I went to the shop. I spent budget of the month – for book – only on one purchase.
Now about the book, it was amazing just like any other Sharma’s book. The morale is simple and straightforward, it promotes the importance of leadership in anything we are in, be it personal life or at work. Sharma noted that leadership is not something privileged to those in powerful and influential positions like military generals, CEOs, or nation leaders. Each and every of us has to develop sound leadership to lead ourselves to make our life meaningful to anything we are in, maximum contribution at work, maximum value in business, and maximum joy to beloved ones.
