The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma

A very cool book explaining basic concepts of personal development. Simple. Written like a story, but is brutally practical.

The points it focuses on:

• Thinking in positive terms
• Following your purpose
• Continuous self improvement
• Discipline
• Time management
• Selfless service
• Mindfulness

A practice presented on improving willpower, which I loved:

• Daily repeating of mantra:
  • "I am more than I appear to be, the world's strength and power resides in me."
• Daily visualizing yourself as a strong-willed person (e.g. Ghandi, Mother Teresa)

This is a book I would give to a total newbie to self-actualization.

This is a book for a teenager that wants to see a change in his/her life.

This is a book for a person in stage orange (spiral dynamics) who is fed up with career obsessed life.
