Ugh. The only ground breaking thing Robin does in the book is regurgitate every adage, tale of woe and learning, and motivational poster ever made and cram it into a poorly written fable. If I didn't have to read this for work, there's no way I would have finished it. The text is cheesy, has no flow, and doesn't give any life altering or truly inspiring words. Just the same things in a 200 page analogy that could have been easily condensed in to 20 pages.
I'll save you the time - take pride in what you do and do your best. Never stop learning and care for those around you. Ta da. I'll take my best seller status now.

Un mensaje muy atinado. Considero es un excelente recordatorio de que somos los líderes de todo lo que hacemos. Hay mucha gente que se victimiza y de seguro este libro es ese llamado de Atención para salir de ese estado que poco aporta al desarrollo de una persona. Este libro es el predecesor del libro de las 5am del mismo autor, de hecho al final se menciona de manera genérica el concepto importancia de levantarse antes que el sol aparezca. La historia es contada en forma de fábula/novela y esa es la parte que no me convence 100%, me pareció muy predecible, sin embargo me gustó más que que el libro de las 5am.
This book was impressively bad, considering it takes a lot for a book to rise up above in a genre where 99.9% of the books are trash, simply put. Yet this one outdid itself.
It might have been an interesting if not unoriginal self-help book about the power of a good attitude to transform one's life, if only it wasn't also such a collection of libertarian bootstrapping cr*p, but I suppose that's how they get people, the empty inspiring quotes and motivating encouragement trick people into feeling good and not questioning the validity of any other part of the philosophy, which makes no sense at all.
The book criticizes modern society and blames almost every modern evil on people's half-ass attitude towards their work and own lives, which apparently is the one thing keeping us from the evolution as species we are entitled to. What the author fails to address, however, either because he's drinking too much bootstrap juice himself, or because he is willingly trying to fool gullible people, is that this bad attitude isn't a fault of the common citizen, this is a feature of the system Sharma insists on advocating for, which prioritizes capital over people and smothers human spirit in sometimes unfixable ways. The author pretends to convince the reader that it will all be so much better if we all just work our asses off, with humility and a big smile on our face, while at the same time strongly discouraging upward social mobility and implying one should find joy in the mediocrity that means to be a cog of the machine while someone on top fills their pocket with our labor, and that to be unable to find such joy reveals a flawed character.
I find that an evil idea to try to put on people's minds.
But perhaps the worst of the crimes is that Sharma makes the unnerving decision so many other self-help authors also make, of trying to lace their half-cooked lessons into a novel that obviously sucks, because he may be an expert in marketing but it just doesn't translate into actual artistic talent.
An honest affront to literature.

This book has a great message, but it got a little redundant.
I really disliked this book -- I found it trite and patronizing and am frankly kind of astounded it got the good reviews it has.

MEH..... now i know i don't read non-fiction
It’s the type of book you treat like a life manual.
Each mentor holds their own, so each main chapter can be read and discussed on its own. Interestingly, Sharma’s worldview parallels a Christian worldview without directly quoting it. So it can be used in many settings other corporate. It is easy to digest, but filling, allowing the lines in the book to work as simple affirmations.
