This book has a lot of wisdom. It is irrelevant whether the story actually happened or even if the author lived a moment like this. The really important messages are that now is all that is and you determine what you do with your now.

I made the mistake of not reading the description carefully. This book is not a biography, but a fable. It is a good read for those who are new to self-help genre. But if you have read any other "inspirational" fables then this book will seem to follow the well trodden formula.

I enjoyed reading this book very much.
The Monk that sold his Ferrari should be read by all high pressured people.
It is a book that has so much wisdom and I felt I gained very wise messages from same.
In this world today, the pace people work and live, We all need a Wake-up call.
I thank you.

The book revolves around Julian mantle, a successful lawyer deep down an unhappy, confused, stressed person filled with pain who suffered a heart attack while he was arguing the Air Atlantic case and after he got discharged from the hospital he suddenly disappeared. His friend John who was also a lawyer went to meet him many times but Julian never met him and after few years someone was there to meet John “a mysterious visitor” who was no one other than Julian mantle with a miraculous transformation and from there started the story of Julian mantle’s transformation which includes “His visit to India, meeting Yogi krishnan who had given him the direction to find the sages, then comes his meeting with Yogi raman (leader of the sages of sivana and his mentor) and from here starts the wisdom of personal change through a small story which has thousands of lessons in it.
Well, you will find a story in this book which is building block of our life, you will be mesmerised reading that. It is one of the main story which was told by Yogi raman to Julian while he was there in sivana learning and growing and this story is the masterpiece of this book. Actually, the book is all about that particular story so I won’t tell much.
And John here in the book plays the character who listens to Julian narrating and asks him questions about the journey and about what he learns from the voyage. And that will be more clear to you when you will read this book.
It has 13 Chapters starting with “The wake up call, The mysterious visitor, The miraculous transformation of Julian Mantle, A magical meeting with the sages of sivana, A spiritual student of the sages, The wisdom of personal change, A most Extraordinary garden, Kindling your inner fire, The ancient art of Self-leadership, The power of discipline, Your most precious commodity, The ultimate purpose of life, The timeless secret of lifelong happiness.
All these chapters are so beautifully penned down that while reading I felt that Julian is narrating his journey, sitting right in front of me.
This book has everything which will make you inspired to fulfil all your dreams.

Rubbish new age nonsense
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2019Verified Purchase
Take every new age doctrine and shove it into a fantasy about a businessman who sheds the corporate life to become a hippy and you have this pointless book. You don't need to read it because I just gave you the whole book in one sentence. If escapist new age dream catching is your boat you'll probably like it since it will simply tell you everything you already believe in and give you a jolly nice pat on the back for being such a superbly progressive and spiritual person. But ultimately that's just part of the whole circle jerkery.
If you want to find spirituality look to the past of your people, your country, your religious histories and your family. Look into yourself and find the deeper levels of your own personality. Please don't simply adopt the religious heritage of several random eastern countries and pretend like they have any relevance with your 21st century lifestyle. It's simply irresponsible make-believe to do so and about as original as a goth dressed in black who thinks he's edgy as hell. You're not progressive. You're backwards thinking. If you want to fix the mess of 21st century living, the corporate rat race and the hellish fallout of the industrial revolution, banking crisis and all the rest of it, focus yourself on the society you inhabit instead of staring off toward Tibet, shaving your head and chanting Hari Krishna. It's not big or clever. It's childsplay. Pretending to be something you're not because you don't like who you are. Wake up call: you can't escape who you are. No amount of head shaving, getaways in Nepal, communes with monks and Feng Shui will save you from who you are, where you come from, what your ancestors did and what you yourself must do to make the world better when you leave than it was when you arrived.

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master. Control it before it controls you."
So my self-help journey started with this one. This was the first book of Robin Sharma I read and after this I have read many more books written by him. He is just brilliant.
This book has helped me a lot in improving the quality of my life. You know what, you may not be feeling it right now but having control over your mind is the best thing that can ever happen to you, there will be nothing that can hinder your progress in any way and you'll feel yourself in a state of eternal bliss.
I read it 2 years ago and still all the concepts and techniques are fresh in my mind.
This book is magical in its own way. 💫

Great advice, bad literature
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2018Verified Purchase
The advice in this book is excellent and I think that anyone who implements it will greatly enhance their lives. Let me state that first because it is important to point it out that I am fully aware and accepting of that value. That being said, this is not good literature, the plot and characters are simple, shallow and full of cliche. None of these elements resonated with me. The book remains a bad attempt at combining storytelling with self-help, and so... it is none of them. Contrast this book with another one that targets this kind of melding: The Teachings of Don Juan. Now that is great storytelling! With very well defined and developed characters AND with some great life advice (if you can interpret symbols). There is no comparison between these two books. It would have been much better to show us the life of Julian, and how he became a monk, how he lived in the Himalayas, make the reader feel his conflict, his troubles, how he slowly finds his way. Instead he comes back "fixed" and summarizes what happened to him.

Such a nice write up and such inspiring story. You could read the book a 100 times over and still feel reading it for the first time.
There's this energy that you get everytime you read the book.
I would recommend it to everyone but esp to someone struggling with something, it really is inspiring and helpful
