"...we are spiritual beings, having a human experience." (The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Sharma) (4/5)

Robin Sharma presents an story wrapped in simplicity, mystic and wisdom on how to lead an enlightened life, or more simply put how to focus on what will bring true happiness in your life, leading to a happier and healthy you.

Wrapped in a fable of a lawyer that has everything he could want in regards to worldly possessions, he has a heart attack which leads him on a trip to India and the Himalayas where he discovers a step-by-step approach to improving the quality of your life. 


While a simple story/fable, it contains many thoughts, practices and ideas that, will be simple common sense to many, that are based on universal truths.   It makes me think about how many of the plain and precious "truths" have been lost, but still exist in different cultures, teachers, and persona, in fragments or in this case almost the entire life truths in one book under a different cover.

I borrowed a copy read, but now will make it a priority to get my own copy so that I may highlight and underline those parts that touched the soul, and I would like to implement within my life.
