"...we have forgotten what life is all about." (Who Will Cry When You Die?, Sharma) (5)

"Who Will Cry When You Die?" is a simple fantastic book.  So many times self-help books are just a restatement of the obvious or the previously heard, and this is just that.  But it is done in a way that makes you want to be improve your life, it makes you want to better while giving you these 101 short tips to do so.


Knowledge has a half-life, what we receive will be forgotten and this book reminds us of those things we may have forgotten while it reinforces that which we know to be true that we have heard before.  I plan on reading this yearly now, each December as I prepare to set resolutions and remember what I have forgotten.

Topics include:
  • Get Up Early
  • Keep a Journal
  • Practice Tough Love
  • Plant a Tree
  • Take More Pictures
  • Don't Finish Every Book You Start

This book will be at the top of my list of gifts for this year, it just makes you want to share.  It also makes me want to read Robin Sharma's other books and I shall start with the "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari".
