WHY WE LOVE IT:

Robin S. Sharma’s The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is a purely inspirational read. This is the book to read when you need motivation, but not instruction. Sharma does not outline a 20-step ladder to success, an architecture for entrepreneurship, or a roadmap for business leadership. Instead, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari encourages introspection and self-discovery: Read more. Look forward, not backward. Take time to get to know yourself. Reflect, think carefully, and then act. The book’s approach is more spiritual than entrepreneurial. It is transformative rather than instructive. An easy read perfect for the beach or a long daily commute, our readers recommend The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari for anyone who wants to get to know themselves better.
