Me gusto muchísimo, cada metáfora me hacia reflexionar sobre un montón de cosas. Logro que me replanteara varias emociones y pensamientos. Lo recomiendo ( )

Boring, with a dash of lengthy and useless added to it. It's a Must-Skip... Don't waste your time and money on Robin Sharma's books... ( )

MURGU QË SHITI FERRARIN është një tregim për avokatin e shkëlqyer Julian Mantëlli, të cilin mënyra e vështirë e jetës që bënte e çoi drejt një infarkti fatal, në mes të sallës së gjyqit mbushur plot me njerëz. Shkatërrimi fizik e çoi drejt krizës shpirtërore, e nxiti të mendonte për jetën e tij dhe të kërkonte përgjigjen e pyetjeve më të rëndësishme të jetës. Me shpresë se do të gjente lumturinë dhe ushqimin shpirtëror, ai niset drejt një udhëtimi të jashtëzakonshëm.

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. 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?

For some reason I thought I had read this and fancied reading it again. After a short period I realised 2 things. First, I hadn't read this before and must have mistaken the title for something else similar. Secondly, I thought it was a true story but it quickly dawned on me that it was a tale told as a parable. The basic premise is that the high flying boss of a law firm has a heart attack and decides to leave the company immediately. No one hears from him for several years and when he comes back he is unrecognisable both physically (he looks 30 years younger) and spiritually. He promises to reveal all the secrets of the world to our narrator over the course of a long conversation.

I gave up after 100 pages as I thought it was total rubbish. I could see what the underlying message was but it is handled in such a clunky way I was too grating to get through. At times it felt like I was reading a book designed for 5 year olds because the questions were so telegraphed. Apparently this tale is losely based on Sharma's own spritual journey and he would have been far better served writing about that in a factual way instead of trying to turn it into a fable. ( )
