Book review of ‘The Greatness Guide’
Author- Robin Sharma
Publication- Jaico Books
Pages- 221
Robin Sharma has guided many CEOs, employees and corporate people for personality development and self awareness, he has conducted many seminars, workshops and television programs on the same subject. The author’s motto to write this book has been to incorporate his experience with 40 different corporate organizations into single attempt to make people realize their potential and guide them to excel upon it, to become better.
Robin Sharma, Management guru as he is called; is really pundit with Words. I haven’t experienced such a magic before …… with just very few words he ignites fire at the Bottoms to make you ‘Breeze into the actions’! He makes you feel how the Greats had accomplished splendid works just with few simple habits. He guides you to be great and make you believe that it is not that difficult, complex or you don’t have to do anything extraordinary but just typical things. Though evolving and working upon 101 ideas seems to be cumbersome, if one works diligently it is not that difficult. You can imbibe them one by one. You should not hasten your efforts in haphazard manner. You don’t need to put great efforts to ‘wake up early’, it’s not needed to muscle much to exact your strategy, but he alarms warning bells too, The journey towards greatness will not be that easy. You need to be calm, polite, consistent and focused for each and every moment! But that too, with a polite urgency making you understand, “the Value of Dying Daily”.
The archives have really been written in a beautiful manner. I never thought that just keeping simple words together like ‘Drink Coffee with Gandhi’, ‘Sell your Desk’, ‘Get some skin into the Game’ can move people. Just two pages with right title and your heart follows as if you are the listener locked to the tune of Jagjit or Gulzar! The author has been successful to reach the deep inside mind though he used laymen’s language, with even shorter lessons; avoiding the psychological terms or methodologies used by many so called great Gurus!
Robin has put the ideas taking very big names like Martin Luther king Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Peter Drucker and many other CEOs of big corporate but he blends his own name in all chapters making himself Great (as he intends to guide us to the Greatness) while doing just ordinary things as we do- drinking coffee, listening to iPods and playing golf, And as we feel travelling the journey with him, his confidence imbibes into us, almost making us believe there is nothing difficult to be great, just you need to be ‘You’ while competing your own self to get better. So read the book and get ready to ‘lay Claim on your Greatness’
