The 'story' is essentially just 2 guys talking over dinner, actually only 1 guy talking (the titular Monk), the other guy is just there to ask the questions in between the long monologues and to confirm the Monk's answers. I felt the listener of the story was pretty naive, he seemed to just take everything his monk friend said without question, and we're led to believe that through one night of lecturing he is enlightened; perhaps his mystical friend hypnotised him!!! However, despite all my criticism with the characters and the non-existent story, I am glad that the subject matter was written simply without using convoluted and deep spiritual words; it could have so easily have gone that way. 'The monk who sold his Ferrari' can be called as life-changing novel!

The novel tells the Vastness of India and the ancient techniques which our ancestors have been using since eternity which is the Secret of Life! This novel made me realise the Mortality of Humans and how each day counts infact each moment and each thought! It has transformed me and my life now is your turn. 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 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 was not the problem.
The problem is that you have to back cheese up with some realism to make it relatable and digestable. Sharma does not do this. Sharma did one thing that I very much did like, at least he may have done this, naming the book. It's a great title and made me want to read it immediately as I already had the book outlined in my head based upon the title and it was very good. I should have stuck with my own fantasy. Instead, there's a ton of new age advice espoused thru a very dumb fable that serves as some new age pnuemonic (which it takes John, the 'student', most of the book to get and then is praised heavily by Julian, 'the teacher' for this observation like a special ed teacher giving a student a lollipop for looking both ways before crossing the street. Actually, this typifies most of their interactions.
Only a special ed student would eventually become resentful of the condescension. But this never happens to John because he is a complete idiot, oh, sorry, I mean 'empty cup'.
He's more like an empty thimble who's practically ejaculating over every trite concept Julian throws his way with wide eyed awe.). Maybe these immaculate revelations would have had more of an impact on me as a teenager, but you would've had to get to me in early adolescence to impress me with the wonder of 'think positive thoughts!' , 'prioritize what's important in your life!' , 'live in the now!' , 'find a purpose!'
I love new age ideas and concepts, but Sharma just reguritates other people's wisdom and doesn't even make it interesting or unique. He even quotes himself from the book in the book! Each lesson has a summary of key ideas, actions, etc. And in each one he quotes himself, from the chapter you JUST READ, which has to earn him Douche of the Month, if not DOTYear in my opinion. He is also an awful writer, most evident in his use of speaker tags and abuse of adjectives, which were actually my favorite part of the book-they were that bad. Here are some fun examples: 'Do I have to find a special lake to apply the Secret of the Lake?'
I asked innocently.' 'Hardly 'new age,' he said, with a broad grin lighting up his radiant face. Julian remembering the monks: 'I still remember seeing these wonderful looking people seated on the little bamboo chairs reading their strangely bound books with the subtle smiles of enlightenment unforlding across their lips.' 'Easy, big fella! I couldn't agree with you more,' offered Julian with all the warth and patience of a wise, loving grandfather.
Here's my favorite part of the book. John is talking about his big belly: 'It's really not that big,' Julian suggested in a consoling tone. 'Then why does Jenny call me Mr. I said, breaking into a broad smile. Julian started to laugh. I had to follow.
Soon the two of us were howling on the floor. 'I guess if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?' I said, still giggling. Oh, I could go on and on, because Sherma does in this same manner. Sigh, it feels good to get this out. In summary, the book doesn't espouse anything bad or incorrect, it just does it in a really pathetic and sometimes insultingly condescending way. 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', ' (the 'Pray section) and 'Tuesday with Morrie' So sadly to say Now I rarely read a book and stopped halfway.

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? 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!

I have read about it literally everywhere! Including spam and ads on miraculous stuff to get my nonexistent dick larger! I can't even rate it properly. The book seems ok but annoyingly, I can't read it or get even anywhere through it. What the hell are Sages of Sivana?
Maybe I need to first learn where that monk got his Ferrari? He wasn't a monk when he bought it, from how I got it. And why Ferrari and not any of hundreds of other cars? What about his plane? I need to audit less.
Or tie myself to a chair with this book in my lap. I guess I'll be back at some point! So far the rating is somewhere in the vicinity of 2-3 stars.
The fault is, as is usual, with me. Still, there is something wrong with this book, though I can't phrase what it is exactly. It may change drastically.
Or I might stop trying to get into books I dislike on the spot. THE most useful book I have read so far! I guess, that when you read this book, if you open your mind to its ideas and concepts, you’re gonna find it revolutionizing and life changing. Otherwise, you’re just gonna think it’s boring and never go through with it. Well, in my case, and because I was looking for this kind of book for so long, I found it very useful, and I just KNOW that lots of things in my life won’t be the same because of it.

In a very simple, yet very meaningful, short story Robin Sharma was able to walk me, step by step, through an entire life philosophy that made so much sense! It’s a 5 stars book, no doubt! The Arabic translation of the book was absolutely ridiculous, but I also listened to the audiobook and it was really cool to listen to Robin Sharma narrate it himself! I am not a fan of personal development books written by so called motivational writers. I prefer writers that have previously done something with their life. However, I received this as a gift from my best friend and I was feeling a little bit under the weather so I felt that some motivation was welcomed.
I tried to keep my heart open and was prepared to absorb as many life-changing advices as possible. I knew the book was total garbage from the first 20 pages but I tried to give it a chance and I am not a fan of personal development books written by so called motivational writers.

However, I received this as a gift from my best friend and I was feeling a little bit under the weather so I felt that some motivation was welcomed. I tried to keep my heart open and was prepared to absorb as many life-changing advices as possible. I knew the book was total garbage from the first 20 pages but I tried to give it a chance and pressed on. I read so many reviews that claimed that reading this changed their life so I thought that it must be me.
After I realized that it is not me but the book I still kept reading so I can write an informed hate review. So there it is. The Monk who sold his Ferrari makes me think about a fish stew, and not a good one. Usually, in fish stews you add different kinds of leftover fish and seafood that is not very fresh but not gone bad either. Then, you put a lot of tomato juice and condiments to give a strong taste so nobody knows that the fish is not at their best.
This book feels the same. The author collected a variety of cliche, already discussed ideas such as positive thinking, meditation, goal prioritization, focus, getting up early, more exercise and yes, oh yes, eating of live food aka becoming a vegetarian. The last bit almost made me to throw the book to a wall. So, what do you do when you have absolutely nothing new to say but you want to make it interesting so everybody buys your book? Bingo, you use a fable. Everybody loves one, right?
So, in order to touch the main target group, the depressed corporate employee, you take a lawyer as a main character. You add a bit of drama, a heart attack, which pushes the hero to quit his job and leave in a quest to find himself?
Where does the hero go? You guessed itIndia, of course. After he spends some time with a very isolated yogi group in the Himalayas he comes back to the US enlightened, looking 30 years younger and ready to help others find the true path to happiness and health. The first victim is a colleague lawyer to whom our hero presents the complex ancient philosophy in one night.
Yup, this is all it takes to become a new person. Most of the book is a dialogue between the “monk” and his moronic friend. The disciple is so entranced by the sage of his mentor that he agrees with everything he says, no questions are asked and all the proposed techniques and ideas are immediately adopted. I sometime wondered if hypnotization was used. Maybe I could have digested all these ideas if the book had been well written. Which it wasn’t. A 10 year old could have done a better job.

It was boring and ridiculous. Outing myself as a reader of self-improvement books with this review, but so what. I think it's all a bit of a waste of time if you don't try to spend some of your time improving your life from within. THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI didn't start off well for me because I absolutely detest fables; my idea of cruel and unusual punishment is being forced to re-read THE CELESTINE PROPHECY, for example.
My problem with fables is that they are, more often than not, stupid. They come across as a child Outing myself as a reader of self-improvement books with this review, but so what.

My problem with fables is that they are, more often than not, stupid. They come across as a childish and often condescending way to get a point across when straight forward non-fiction would've done the job.
They also tend to be written by people who, while extremely wise and with something very worthwhile and interesting to say, have no flair for writing fiction, and the whole thing just ends up being clunky, cheesy and unreadable, a faint burn of embarrassment for the author coming to your cheeks as you read. I've just described the first 2-3 chapters of this book, but please: push through. I'm so glad I did.
There's so many great insights in this book, and endless quotations for you to highlight or stick somewhere prominent. Of course, a lot of it is common sense, but what do you expect? The answer to the meaning of life?
(Although Sharma actually has an answer for that: the meaning of life is to live a life of meaning.) And it introduced me to a Carl Jung quotation that's now one of my favourites: 'he who looks outside dreams, he who looks inside awakens.' Great reading on the eve of a New Year and definitely worth a re-read with a highlighter. Just grit your teeth and push through those first few chapters. 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. From a fiction point of view, it too often told rather than showed.

From a fiction point of view, it too often told rather than showed. 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. However, I don’t feel helped. I don’t feel like my life has been enlightened. I feel like I’ve been told to get up earlier in the morning and meditate. I could have told me that before. Somehow, I couldn’t believe in these monks doing their one handed press-ups at 4am every morning.
I felt sorry for them. What sort of enlightenment requires being in the same village forever? How did the monks know about the real world if they didn’t experience it? A lot irritated by the narration, but not the content. May be it is my prejudice - I find the 'fable' approach to self-help books tedious to read.
The last one I read, that took a similar approach, was Gung Ho! By Ken Blanchard, and came off thinking that the whole book was silly. The Monk Who.
Came highly recommended, and hence I plunged in. The book starts off on a promising note - hot-shot lawyer has a heart-attack in court, right after winning a big case. What happens next?

Here's what happens - India - Himalayas - Yogi - 'a lot of finding myself' - Mystical land - Mystical procedures (apparently even the Pareto technique!) - 'share these with others' - another bad fable, within this already bad fable.
You can fill in the blanks with that info. And oh, throw in really really really (big emphasis on that third really) bad jokes as part of the 'conversation'. Not to sound overly negative, there were things that hit home for me.
Summarizing them below - 1. Take care of yourself first. If you can't do even that, how can you take care of others / work? Maintain strict discipline in training your body, and your mind.
Setting aside some 'quiet time' on a daily basis. Goal setting - committing to a goal publicly, so that you hold yourselves accountable in front of your peers. Reflect on what you did good / bad the previous day, and make points for improvement on a daily basis. Get your priorities right - not a lot of people on their death-bed wishing that they had spent more time at work.
This book could have been a LOT BETTER had the author dropped the 'fable approach', and just presented his ideas in a straight-forward manner. I like Robin Sharma's The Greatness Guide (Book 2) better than this one, for this reason. Skip it, if you can resist the folks giving over-the-top reviews for this book. Some books are meant to be tasted, some are meant to chewed, some digested.
While there are some rare books that not only meant to be digested but also made to be a part of the body and mind. The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is one such book.

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is one such book. The books moves at a good pace and the never becomes boring as peachy books tend to be. In fact, the way the teachings have been presented in a story format is the most important reason why this book has become so popular among the masses. It also lasts only 200-odd pages hence can easily be completed on a long train or road journey. It took me three days to complete the book as I had other things to do, but at my normal pace I could have easily competed it in 4-5 hours. However this is not a book which is meant to be read quickly and forgotten, and is best read slowly.
It takes some time to understand some of the teachings, and requires inflection as to how they can be applied in our own life. The teachings are simple and some of them are well-known. But the presentation of the ideas is what sets this book apart from other books. All of the teachings can be remembered by the simple story of the sumo wrestler told in the book. On a personal level, and this book has certainly caused a lot of change in my life. I am feeling in myself a new energy, something which I had lost for a few years.
Read thoroughly and applied diligently, this book has the potential to transform our lives. Although its not practically possible to apply each and everyone of the teachings (As I later found out), this book fully deserves the accolades it has been getting, and should be made a part of our system. I wouldn't have even started writing all these reviews if it hadn't been for this book, and as I usually only think about doing things but never actually do it.
This book compelled me to live the life that I have always dreamed about. It has also made me see positive things in life. It has taught me to be clear about what you want from life and direct your entire focus towards it, and not get affected by the trivialities that surround it. I am extremely grateful to Robin Sharma for penning such a wonderful book.

The points that the writer addresses and the wisdom that he shares through this story might seem obvious to the reader initially yet we'll feel so much of it never occurred to us because we always forget to give these things proper thought and reflection amidst the hustle bustle of our daily lives. I felt this book needs to be read slowly so as to fully understand and assimilate all that the author is trying to tell us. It can feel preachy in some parts with the narration style but the content and wisdom of the book is the real hero that transcends everything else.
Just as we love to nourish our senses and mind, we also need to nourish our spirit and soul from time to time which is why I strongly recommend this book to all readers of all ages.
