Not only that, in more than one cases, Sharma negates his own opinions and preaching. Here he says do not open all your mail, there he says answer all your mails with a thank you note. Just read the points 26 and 27, you'll know. And he does this on several of occasions. Now why does this happen? Because this book does not actually direct you anywhere, it was not designed with a lot of care or any certain goal in mind. It just aims to summarize & accumulate random lessons from different random books and historical figures. Sharma didn't even stop to notice that some of these lessons negate some others and need detailed discussions. The irony is, this book was meant to help people be organized.

Stop complaining by adopting a more proactive mindset and looking more at what you can contribute than what’s wrong. We’ll begin this chapter by discussing the need for mindfulness and the ways to achieve it. We’ll then move on to some specific areas of your life where mindfulness is especially useful. Always Be Mindful I still find the concepts in this book acceptable and relevant today (this book was first published in 1999! And his concepts are practical. That's what makes me like his books still) Assam has a new government in place, and it’s time to take a look at the cabinet ministers who will be working toward the development of the state. The Assam Cabinet Minister List 2023 was announced by the Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, on May 10, 2022. CM of Assam... People tend to fill their days with activities that seem important in the moment, but count for very little in the grand scheme of their lives. So, the goal card offers a reminder of the activities that are and will always be important. The card will also provide you with the self-control you need to advance your goals and say no to activities that don’t match these goals. StoryShot #15: Focus on the Quality of Sleep, Not the QuantityReleased in 1999 this is the third book in the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari series. Sharma is considered one of the top leadership experts, pursuing stress management and spirituality. But he is in this top according to who and in comparison to who? To me it seems like he just published a lot of books that ended up making him heard which in turn lead to a lot of scheduled interviews and talks. It's one of those productivity cults that I enjoy to complain about all over again. Be weary and skeptical.

The part I disliked the most was the part with suggesting "less sleep" as science suggest everybody is different. The part I could relate with the most is the difference between "being productive and being busy" which was one of the few things that convinced me to give it a 2 star instead of 1 or 0. There is something very special that happens when you take out a piece of paper and list every single one of your problems on it. Stop complaining about self-help books and start reading one because we need motivation like we need to take bath time and time again. Somewhere in the mix of all this, however, we’ve began to struggle with finding meaning in life. It’s great to improve ourselves, but we have to remember that we’re not doing this just for our own benefit.Once you start spending the hours of your days only on those high – leverage activities and priorities that will advance your life’s mission and legacy, everything will change. If you don’t act on life, then life has a habit of acting on you. Without a calling, days can slip into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. After this time has passed, you could be left with a life that was only half-lived. Alternatively, you can actively seek your calling. We are all here for a purpose, and this purpose is unique to us. This calling will manifest as our higher human potential and will add value to the lives around us. So, Robin recommends creating a mantra that you live by in all parts of your life. You will then be able to seek a higher meaning from your everyday activities and your work. StoryShot #2: Create Good Habits

Maintaining a daily journal is one of the best personal growth initiatives you will ever take. You will develop self – awareness and make fewer mistakes. A good movie can restore your perspective, reconnect you to the things you value most and keep your enthusiastic about all the things in your life. You convert what you think about all day prolonged. It produces no sense to worry about past mistakes or misunderstandings unless you want to undergo them for the second time. Your steps will feel lighter, a deep sense of inner quiet will flood your entire body and your creativity will flood your entire body and your creativity will flourish. Sleep is like a narcotic, take too much at a course, and it makes you dopey. You lose time, endurance, and opportunity. Thomas EdisonOne of the best strategies to boost both your energy level and your mood is to get into the daily habit of drinking fresh fruit juice. When are in trouble, sits in a room with a pen and pad of paper and writes down the problems that you are facing. And then calls upon your personal board of directors to help to solve your problems. The members of your board are just in your imagination, you seek the wise counsel of many of history’s greatest thinkers. This author was introduced to me by my father like twenty years ago with a copy of his bestselling first book The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. I felt mesmerized by that book.

You don’t have to know these mentors, and they don’t have to even be alive, assures Sharma. They should just be figures you admire and who have something to offer to your life. For instance, your panel might consist of Steve Jobs for advice on innovation, Oprah for advice on self-care, and the Dalai Lama for advice on spirituality. The real problem is that when you don’t keep your word, you lose credibility. When you lose credibility, you break the bonds of trust. And breaking the bonds of trust ultimately leads to a string of broken relationships. There is something very special about the first few hours in the morning. If spent wisely, the rest of your day will unfold in a wonderful way. One of the most effective ways to improve your personal and professional effectiveness and to rise to a new level of excellence is to find a mentor to coach you. Giving the gift of your time by volunteering to serve those who have less than you is an excellent way to remind yourself on a regular basis of the abundance that exists in your life.All of the great geniuses of the world were inspired and driven by their desire to enrich the lives of others. Take the time to study your personal habits and promise to make the necessary changes. The quality of your life will be determined in large measure by the nature of your habits.
