Book Review –

These lines somewhere strikes a chord within us, somewhere very deep and strong enough to make us wonder if the lives which we are living is meaningful and/or happy? Are we giving back life the joy which it deserves? Or are we just stuck somewhere living our regular corporate life or otherwise?

Who Will Cry When You Die by Robin Sharma is a very friendly, easy to read manual yet with wisdom rich words which offers 101 simple and lightening solutions for our most complex problems. Ranging from methods of beating stress to creating an impact on people’s life for good to leave behind our legacy.
Right from how we must maintain our personal journal, how we must honour our words and promises, connect to nature, not let the child die within, learn to say ‘No’ to the people, learn to meditate and be silent and so much more! It calms our mind with his philosophical and psychological thoughts and words.

Few readers might find the book with little/much preaching “the right way to lead a good life” presented in a list like manner rather than the thoughts weaved in a story line but in the end of the day, we need to discover our mantra to find our peace of mind which this book will definitely help but it’s magical way.
The book does not tell anything new, it tells you the things that you already know deep within your heart at least in a subconscious level but needs to be enlightened. That’s what Robin does here.

In the end, I would say, I like the author’s style of simplifying all the philosophies. You don’t have to think much about the meaning of his messages and is easy to visualise his statement and situations. Who Will Cry When You Die is an inspirational and a good read with small chapters will will be a nourishing and nutritious food for our mind, body and spirit.
