who will cry when you die by robin sharma

an easy read. sharma puts the book in 101 short chapters, each taking up only just one or two pages. for those who complain of the `hassle and pain' of reading, this book is a smooth read with big and clear fonts and the size of the pages being almost half of an A4 size paper.

i have read a zillion books on motivation and self improvement. frankly, i did not at all like robin sharma's `the monk who sold his ferrari'. i thought it was too much preaching and no educating. but then the world worshipped his book so maybe its just my view.

and this one too did not make that much of an impression. he just borrowed words and phrases, took them from other books and authors/speakers while claiming it to be his.

he merely quotes everyone else and states what every other motivational speaker-writers have said before him.

this book tells us of the things needed to be done in our lives, and even though i do not agree with some of them, i do see the benefits of getting them done. other than that it is no big deal.

for those who have never read a single motivational book, you could start on this simply because he basically summarises all the other books. it is very light reading and you can finish it on one train journey. :-)
