Neither did I. Found it a bit too contrived for my taste. In fact I would go as far as to say the same thing about Sharma's other book, Leading Without a Title. While both books contain some timeless truths in them, you get the sense that their imagery is carefully crafted to excite certain emotions or feelings in you at the expense realism and horse-sense.

That being said, I enjoy reading good books. Some here have said that they do not read motivational books. I think I understand. Many motivational books suffer from the very demerits I have mentioned above. However, I have found that there are many other books not typically classified as motivational but which, nonetheless, can be a tremendous source of inspiration. Autobiographies and biographies of great men and women are a case in point.

Right now I am half-way through Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom and loving every page of it. Decision Points by George W. Bush is next, mostly because I've bought the book already. Then I'll find Jomo Kenyatta's Facing Mount Kenya. Form me, this is the way to go for anyone who finds the average motivational book bathetic to the point of absurdity.

this bok was highly recommended by a colleague but it was 'piriton' for me. I dont get motivational boks at all

Neil Ferguson's The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World was a great read a few years ago
