Note- You will need 5 minutes but I am sure that it would be worth your time. Summary of the book "The Monk who sold his Ferrari" is the highlight.
The Alchemist- A book that made me believe in my dreams. It's a must read for someone who is new to reading books.
Malgudi Days- The simplistic writing of R.K Narayan has made me love all his writings. He is just a pleasure to read.
The Home and The World -Collection of stories of Rabindra Nath Tagore - All his writings are a treasure of wisdom. He is a pleasure to read. He will make you love literature.
Old Man and the Sea - Ernst Hemingway has written about an old man and his experiences. It is a classics and you will love this.
Stories of Munshi Premchand- He wrote in hindi and will help you learn about the life of people during his time. His writings are evergreen and all his novels and stories will enrich your life experiences.
Diary of a Young Girl- Anne Frank was 13 when she started writing about her life in hiding during the second world war. She is my inspiration. It is so nice to read about the life experience of a girl living in a different country in a different era and that too during the war and the regime of Hitler.
The Monk who sold his Ferrari is a wonderful book written by a great author, Mr. Robin Sharma.
It is a fable about a trial lawyer who was obsessed with his work and more precisely with his life. He had all the worldly possessions one could dream of, yet he was unsatisfied because something was missing from his life .He sold all his possessions like his holiday home, Ferrari car, etc and decided to go to India on his personal odyssey due to a self-imposed exile.
He decided to connect with India’s vast pool of ancient wisdom on living a more rewarding, fulfilling and enlightened life. He totally transformed his personality from a over worked tired man to an enthusiastic, radiant and enlightened human being by practising the following 7 timeless virtues of enlightened living.
1. Master your mind
2. Follow your purpose
3. Practice kaizen
4. Power of self control & discipline
5. Stopwatch (value your time)
6. Selflessly serve others
7. Embrace the present
You can read in detail about the 7 timeless virtues painstakingly summarized in my article Learning from the Monk who sold his Ferrari. Trust me, it will be worth your time.
