The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari – Robin Sharma

Julian Mantle had everything a successful lawyer could want: a mansion, a private jet, a red Ferrari and a reputation as one of the most brilliant litigators in the country. Then, in the middle of a packed courtroom, his overworked heart gave out.

Forced to confront what his relentless lifestyle had cost him, Julian sold his possessions and set off for India in search of a wiser way to live. High in the Himalayas he found a community of sages who shared with him an ancient system for unlocking the potential of the mind, body and soul. Years later he returns, transformed and almost unrecognizable, to pass that wisdom on to John, a former colleague trapped in the same exhausting routine.

Told as a simple and engaging fable, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari presents practical lessons for a more balanced and meaningful life. Robin Sharma uses memorable symbols, a garden, a lighthouse, a sumo wrestler, a pink wire cable and a path of diamonds, to illustrate seven timeless virtues: mastering your thoughts, discovering your purpose, practicing self-discipline, managing your time wisely, serving others, living in the present and embracing the journey.

Each chapter offers concrete techniques that readers can begin using immediately, from morning rituals and reflection to goal setting and quiet time.

Accessible, uplifting and easy to return to again and again, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari has become a modern classic of personal development and an international bestseller for readers who suspect there must be more to life than the daily grind.
