BOOK OF THE Moment: june/july 2020
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
By Robin Sharma
“Never forget the importance of living with unbridled exhileration. Never neglect to see the exquisite beauty in all living things. Today, and this very moment, is a gift. Stay focused on your purpose. The Universe will take care of everything else.”
ABOUT THE BOOk
This is the incredible story of Julian Mantle, a superstar lawyer whose out-of-balance lifestyle leads him to a near fatal heart attack in a packed courtroom. His collapse brings on a spiritual crisis, forcing him to seek answers to life’s most important questions.
Hoping to find happiness and fulfilment, he embarks upon an extraordinary odyssey to an ancient culture, where he discovers a powerful system to release the potential of his mind, body and soul, and learns to live with greater passion, purpose and peace.
Brilliantly blending the timeless spiritual wisdom of the East with the cutting-edge success principles of the West, this truly inspiring tale has shown millions of people around the world how to live with greater courage, balance, abundance and joy.
“We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.”
Robin Sharma
WHY I CHOSE THIS BOOK, by SHELF HELP FOUNDER TONI
It’s time to get spiritual. The Shelf Help mission is to share concepts and books that empower people to know and love themselves, and I think that means understanding more about all three elements of humans: body, mind and soul. We’re now covering these topics on rotation with our book choices every two months (all still with an ultimate focus on self-worth and positive change). This year we have already covered You Can Heal Your Life about healing our bodies and Everything is Figureoutable about changing our mindset. And now The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is an easy-to-read but super-impactful spiritual tale filled with timeless wisdom that can inspire everyone.

Robin Sharma. I like to learn from self-help experts who are leading by example and living the kind of life that I want for myself and our members. Sharma is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, world-class coach and philanthropist and has a brilliant life travelling the world teaching, building his businesses and charity and sharing his message. We might not all want to be world-leaders in self-mastery, but we can learn so much from him about being successful AND spiritual, about having high expectations of ourselves and our lives, and about becoming effective, world-changing heroes and leaders in our own special way.
✨
The message. This isn’t your typical self-help book as there aren’t any exercises. Instead it’s a good old-fashioned story about an extraordinary adventure that is packed with ancient wisdom that any of us can - and should - start incorporating into our hectic modern lives. The aim of this book is to help us all live with more courage, balance, abundance and joy…and who doesn’t want that?
