Discover Your Destiny

This is my first Robin Sharma book, I plan to read more. This book is one of my favorites. If you have any fears at all you have to get this book... if there is anything holding you back this is an absolute must! Big Ideas to Live Your Best Life, Discover Your Destiny will be given as many gifts in my future!

After reading the other review on this book, I had to pop in and give my 2 cents. Isn't it interesting how we get wrapped up in "seeking" the answers to maximizing our full potential and living with peace and harmony, but instead get sucked into judging and criticizing others rather than taking absolute personal responsibility for our actions? Because this book does focus on "the basics" is the exact reason WHY it changed my life! I'd been skipping the basics because I'd never had anyone break them down and inspire me to actually begin implementing them. This book came into my life at a very pivotal moment. I came upon it EXACTLY when I needed it. I had spent the last 6 years as a self employed physical therapist, earning a decent income and was able to help a lot of people, but I recognized that I wanted to have a bigger impact in the world. I had read and studied book after book on self discovery and leadership, but hadn't been able to really crack the code, or uncover what my next step was going to be until I read Discover Your Destiny by Robin Sharma. Sharma has a unique style of writing that uses stories to illustrate his wisdom and insight, which makes for an enjoyable reading experience, but what sets him apart in my mind, was his ability to inspire me to stop living mediocre and to finally take action and begin implementing the basics AND finally sustain them, long enough for me to begin seeing results and attract experiences that have led me on a completely different career path where I've 10x'd my impact and my income. This book played the role of the launching pad that I'd been looking for and needed, to make the shift and sustain it. It is also very easy to see Robins passion and desire to truly help people live a world class life. I get the feeling that he really lives what he's teaching, as his passion and wisdom is dripping from the pages. Once you get a taste of his fun and engaging writing style, and allow him to coach and guide you through the wisdom and implementation of these principles, go and tackle his latest book called "The Greatness Guide". I can relate to those who are quick to criticize. I've been there before myself. But thanks to my friend Gordon for turning me onto Sharma's material, I'm more fulfilled, more at peace and more inspired than I've ever been in my life. Oh, and the impact (and ROI) as a result of the career change this book initiated is great too!

DISCOVER YOUR DESTINY: BIG IDEAS TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE comes from an international best-selling author and is a sequel to THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI, so it already has a guaranteed audience of prior fans. Here the focus is on one Dar Sanderson, a 40-something HR manager who has it all in the job and home departments --but is deeply unhappy and wants an even better life. An encounter with a monk sends him on a six-month journey to reclaim life's values and spiritual promises. It's a fable, but it's also a lesson on life's values which will reach into many hearts.

I am already in the habit of reading self-improvement books. But when I finished up this one, I found myself naturally, effortlessly having made a decision to change my life. Such was the impact of mere reading this book. When you read this book you do not simply read this book but automatically undergo a very powerful process. Because the very act of reading this book takes you through a process of transformation and the beginning of a new life. Having finished this book I decided to cultivate the habit of getting up early in the morning at 5 a.m. and I am still at it. I find that this simple habit of getting up at 5 a. m. and spending an holy hour is so powerful that it aligns you with natural rhythm. It gives me so much in terms of my inner growth which I was missing earlier. The book is packed with wonderful advice on life changing philosophy in a story form. I thank Lord for creating such individuals as the Author of this book.

I have loved Robin Sharma's work since I first read The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. His latest installment - Discover Your Destiny delivers and then some! In contemporary yet timeless writing style, Robin delivers you the answers to life's toughest and most meaningful questions. A book worth reading over and over again during those early morning "holy hours" (if you don't know what that is -- read the book :-)).
