Inspiring fictional story by Paulo Coelho.... The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
Also, it’s worth noting that the book is originally written in Portugese, meaning that what we’re reading is an English translation. I have no doubt this takes away from the book in some regard, as the author’s exact message could be hard to mimic in translation. In fact, there were times when I wou...ld think, “I’m sure this part sounds way cooler in Portugese.” But, I probably have no idea what I’m talking about.Read More
You should read this if… You’re looking for travel inspiration (or inspiration for life in general) You like feel-good stories You don’t mind novels that involve mystical, magical things that could never happen in real life. e.g. a shepherd having a conversation with the soul of the universe You... respond well to stories that teach you what you already know in a different way You enjoy a short read (167 pages)Read More
What I didn’t like To be honest, I wouldn’t change a thing about the book. It can move into religious territory at times, talking quite in depth about God and heaven etc, so depending on your own beliefs this could be a downside. However I think all people will be able to relate to the message ...of the story regardless of their religion.

Inspiring fictional story by Paulo Coelho....
This book left a big impression on me. While reading through the book you can tell that the author is wise, that he has lived a long time, because of the messages he shares through the characters in his story. It’s almost as if, while you’re reading it, you can imagine your grandfather telling i...Read more
Inspirational and must read book... The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari - Robin Sharma
Julian Mantle also described that this community had everything made of roses. That must be a fictitious story for sure then.
There is a reason why people who want to become enlightened leave their families and belongings, like Buddha did, for example. And maybe it Is possible to become enlightened whilst having a family, but I didn’t come across or heard of such a person so far.
In India people know that sages don’t live in communities, because to be enlightened one must renounce everything, including the family. Any average person would tell that it’s hard to have any peace of mind when one has kids and a husband/wife, let alone live with more people.
Maybe Julian Mantle did disappear in Himalayas, but to believe that he came back half his age and was the first human being to discover the community of sages in the Himalayas takes is hard to believe and reminds of other similar “discovery” storie
Book has some inconsistencies. Julian told Robin that the sage who accepted him into the community and taught him the way to enlightenment was living there since his childhood. And in another chapter Julian claimed that the youngest member of that community was a young strikingly beautiful lady. How... come there were no children? How could such a community exist for a long time without new births?Read More
When Julian came back he was unrecognizable – he looked much younger (his wrinkles had disappeared) and he claimed to be enlightened. He told the book author, Robin Sharma (Robin was working with Julian in the past), the lessons he learned in Himalayas from the community of sages he discovered.
I couldn’t make out if the book is claimed to be based on a true story or not. It’s about a lawyer Julian Mantle who was a wealthy workaholic and when he had a heart attack in the courtroom he decided to change his life. He sold all his belongings and went to India, Himalayas.
I don’t know much about Robin Sharma but from what I’ve read I can say that he is a Nepali author (“Sharma” is an Indian/Nepali surname, plus his birthplace in Wikipedia is indicated as Nepal) who has achieved success by taking the road of becoming an author and mastering public speaking.
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari has common sense advice found in many self-help books, so it’s suitable for people taking their early self improvement steps.
Book that makes you thing about your life.. Who Will Cry When You Die - Robin Sharma
There are a lot of miserable people with a lot of money. There are also people with practically nothing who live every day contentedly. These are facts. Yet they don’t have to be your facts. Who Will Cry When You Die? (and really, all of Robin Sharma’s books) are about living a life of abundance; an... abundance of financial accomplishment, but also an abundance of life experiences, and legacy achievements. Life is meant to be lived BIG – everything you do should be done with excellence and a sense of purpose. Life’s too short to be spent focused on the ultimately unimportant and mundane.Read More

It encourages us to ask not only “What did I accomplish?”, but also “What impact did I make?”, and “What am I leaving behind?”eRead More
