review 1: This book is one of the best among the "the monk who sold his ferrari" series. It is simplified from the main book to 101 chapters which make reading and backtracking easy for learning. A lot of quotes from famous people are in this book, which great influential to life. I shall list down few beneficial chapters below:1. "Youth is not the time of life; it's a state of mind."Spending time to carve yourself is not a selfish act. Making time to care of your inner self, your mind and spirit, so as to remain youthful and enthusiastic. Years wrinkles your skin, but without enthusiasim will wrinkle your soul. 2. Decompress yourself. Spend 10 minutes after a day of work, to relax, slow your pace and regain your tired spirit. Give your best to your loves one at home, as equally as ... moreyour colleagues and friends. 3. Take a mini vacation by rejuvenating our mind through mental escape. This allows us to start doing things with freshness. This is done by holding all calls, be solitude and stay in a quiet place. Close your eyes and breath deeply to visualise yourself in a garden with wind whistling through your ears.4. "You wept because you have no shoes, until you met someone with no feets".We are so easy in magnifying our problems and forget about being grateful of the things around us. Helping others in needs, allow you to realise what thing they do not have and make you not taking things for granted. To be happy, a person must know to sought and how to serve. 5. Build a legacy, starting today. Have a legacy list and the gifts which you want to give so that you can leave the world with no regret. People says building one's legitimacy, striving hard in achievements and gaining status, in the first 50 years and wait till the last 50 years, then build your legacy. This will never happen. 6. "All man miseries derived from not being able to stay alone for a while". This is true as we are expert in inducing noises in our life. Noises at work and home are nuisances to our life. Have 20 minutes of being alone in a silent place, allows our mind to function properly and improve our focus for every minutes in the whole day.
review 2: This is book is amazing I really loved it , it gives you advices about life in general with a fascinating small chapters Parts I like it from the book :1- We have email,fax machines and digital phones so that we can stay connected and yet we live in a time where human beings have never been less connected. We have lost touch with our humanity.2- If you make even one person smile during your day or brighten the mood of even a stranger, your day has been a worthwhile one. Kindness, quite simply, is the rent we must pay for the space we occupy on this planet.3- I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.4-We all have within us the courage and the capacity to handle even the greatest curves life may throw our way. less
