Tonight I read " The monk who sold is ferrari "
Regardless of the title, I highly recommend people to read this book.
Some of the things that come to my mind when I read this book
Numero Uno : The monk who sold his ferrari was no monk. Monks dont return to the real world to give BS about what they experienced.
The person who sold his ferrari was a looser, how else can you justify him selling a ferrari.
Now this guy sells his ferrari and all his worldly possesions and does what with the money ?? Nowhere mentioned in the book .
The book is for obvious reasons a motivational story. A story which bschoolers and managers would love to read.
This is a story of a person who already is a multi millionaire, who has reached self actualisation.
What does he do when he fails in what he does best ? He runs away from what he has been doing almost half his lifetime.
Comming to his background, the person is a harvard law student. He is a person envied by everyone. He always had his share in life.
For a person having as much wealth as this guy, if he is not happy, he is a fool.
Hence, the duma$$ who sold his ferrari.
But what is worth noticing is that this guy sold his ferrari , found eternal happiness and returned to the material world.. why ?? because solitude is not happiness, because silence is only as good as it is for a couple of minutes. For humans are social animals.
This guy returns to his mainland to show off, to claim that he is at the apex again and to tell people that they are dumb because they are doing what they are doing.
There are many lessons to be learnt by managers from this book though, some being
a.) Time management
b.) Never say die
c..) Corporate and social responsibility
d.) Will power
and a couple more things for which I recommend this book to everyone.
The book ofcourse is motivating, but its not inspirational. The spark will only last for a second but its good as long as it lasts .
For a person who sold his ferrari and made a couple of multi zillion dollars selling the book, I would say people buying it are monks donating to this piece of intellectually challenging 200 + pages.
