Leadership Wisdom From The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari Paperback – April 19, 1999

Quick read with a lot of ‘aha’ moments as the teachings of this book are mostly common sense but so overlooked!Robin Sharma tells a story you can’t stop reading and feel like you are part of it all the while learning along the way.Must read!

One of the top leadership books I've read. Robin Sharma puts it in great perspective of a monk to the average joe when it comes to leadership. This book is a must read.

Great information! I will use it always! Good stuff to follow in life and in work environment. All should read this greatness

The way Robin is conveying the massage is brilliant.. I loved this book. Another masterpiece on leadership... Massage in this book is precise & understandable for even a common man. Most of the things are easy to implement.

Great read. Well told. Valuable lessons. I recommend every student of business read this.

Great business (and life) principles taught in a very unique method. Absolutely loved the book. Thanks for the recommendation Judith.

Excellent book for budding leaders as well as seasoned senior staff of any organization

I am really surprised to see so many good reviews on this book. (Good reviews coming from Mark Victor Hensen, Paulo Coelho and so on!)This book should be renamed as: "GlobalView Software Solutions is one of the best software companies in the world"The story in this book is not a true story. Please judge for yourself:1. Author's best friend Julian went to India. "But during his first months in India, the wisdom he sought eluded him."(p.25) And then later on, he went to Himalayas by himself. Julian had been working in a corporate world most of his life and he did not know Hindi or other less common languages, how did he communiate with the Great Sages of Sivana?2. Julian was fat and sick and he did not have any mountain climbing equipments. And he managed to climb Himalayas all by himself!3. The Great Sages of Sivana have been hiding in the mountains for years and years. How would they aware of "the turmoil [our] world is in." (p.28) Remember the Great Sages have no access to newspapers, TV, radio, cables, magazines, books and internet!4. (p.38) "This wise leader of the Great Sages of Sivana believed that all failure, whether in the business world or in one's personal life, could ultimately to be traced back to a failure in leadership. Companies don't perform...." I have been thinking: this doesn't sound like something coming from the mouth of a monk. Instead, it sounds like a speech of a corporate CEO or a chairman in an annual meeting. I really don't think a Sage with great wisdom would care about running a company. Seriously.The author put trademarks on the following items:* Leader Lead Thyself* See what All See, Think What None Think* Reward Routinely, Recognize RelentlesslyThis is just like putting a trademark on: "Love thy neighbour" (from the Bible).The author has been so successful and a monk with great wisdom would come all the way from Himalayas to help him, so that the the author can become even more successful. ***Think about this: If you WERE that monk, wouldn't you go and help people in Africa or North Korea, rather than assisting a successful businessman in the US?This book makes sure I will not buy any books from Robin Sharma again. There are many other good books of leadership and spirituality in Amazon.
