A Monk who sold his Ferrari | Robin Sharma | Book Review

Off late, I was more onto fiction, and this is mostly the first english non-fiction (self help) I read recently. It changed my thinking towards reading non-fiction and I will definitely read more of non-fiction from now on. 

 The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is written by Robin Sharma, a motivational speaker and bestselling author from Canada. The writing style is in a way of conversation between two people. Julian Mantle, a famous lawyer, comes to India after a heart attack, to find his true self. He learns the importance of spirituaity, wisdom and transforms himself into a much healthier and happy man after learning the ancient techniques followed by the great Sages of Sivana. He later returns to his country, to spread the awareness among the people of the west.

 This book is filled with positive thoughts, importance of spirituality, it gives the techniques to know yourself better. What I liked about the book is, some phrases which are difficult to understand or remember are explained with the help of a story. Also you can find the summary of that particular chapter soon after reading it, which helps you get through it easily whenever you wish to read. I personally, have learnt a lot from this book. Didn't feel bored of preachings, nothing. A motivating read. 

 For Indians, however few things mentioned in the book are relatable.

This book was gifted to me by a brother, from the page @bibliophile_baba at Instagram. Do checkout his page for amazing book reviews.

The author has written few more self helps like the 5 AM club, Mega living, who will cry when you die. Do give them a try, if you are interested in self helps.

Reading Dan Brown for the first time!

I love thrillers! Hearing a lot  about Dan Brown, I wanted to try my hands out on his books since a long time now.  But as every reader knows, everytime I finished a book, the choice of picking up the next read out of hundreds of them from the longggg TBR pile became a difficult task!  Finally, after finishing my exams and a long time since taking a break from the reading journey, finally picked up a Dan Brown novel and it was The Digital Fortress! Title of the Book: Digital Fortress Author: Dan Brown Genre: Techno Thriller My rating: ♦♦♦♦🔶 Backdrop: --------------- Why Digital Fortress first? As written earlier, I have seen and heard a lot about Brown's books. Out of those, I especially wanted to start with any of these:       - The Da Vinci Code because this is said to be one of his best.      - Angels and Demons because so many booktubers adore this!      - Digital Fortress  after I watched Shrishty Sharma,  ...
