'The discomfort of growth is always smaller than the heartbreak of regret' – Extracts from the book
Robin Sharma, one of the well known author for his book 'The 5am Club', doesn't require much introduction. Does being rich denotes a hefty bank account or a lavish life style? Is money alone sufficient to lead a happier life? Is money and other distractions trimming your potentials? Are you actually 'living your moment' despite of all odds? Do you actually apply your past learnings in your current life? Aren't these questions thought provoking? This is just a small overview of what the book contains.
Book is elegantly crafted with 175 chapters that basically talks about 8 forms of wealth that includes Family, Health, Growth, Money, Service and much more. Most of the time, society defines a standard for being welathy, making us ignore some of the unmeasurable wealth we own. Author meticulously walks us through such concepts and makes us to evaluate the wealth we posses, the wealth that we cannot buy. Slow to Medium paced with simple writing style.
Having some across most of the motivational books by Robin Sharma, I find this book covering quite some a new approach. I find the topic Service quite interesting as it is never approached as a form of wealth that easily. Apart from all such guidance the book is filled with experiences and short stories. The '10000 Dinner Questions' is my favourite part where the author describes how our daily activities play a vital role. If you are a person who doesn't indulge much in self help books due to its approach and narration, I would strongly suggest this one as it is quite engaging!
