Such a contrived story!! uhhh!

Good ideas in the book but (and it's a big one) the story DOES NOT help. The way the story is presented is such a cheesy and contrived way of telling a leadership fable it just makes me cringe - I mean come on - Argentinean maid giving leadership advice about how to lead organizations???? I don't think so... I don't know but I think it's time to rewrite the book Robin...

Awful

This is my first review I ever write, because I think it is so awful it hurt me listening. An endless thread of common place thoughts, not one original idea, the story feels lifted from Dan Millman's Peaceful Warrior and everything is glued together with empty phrases. It must be hard to come up with something new in the self help genre, Seth Godin's last book I read before was also very disappointing.

A Parable of Leadership

This is very similar to Leadership and Slef-Deception, Chop Wood Carry Water, and the Alchemist. It threads the lessons of leadership into a fictional story to help the reader learn as the main character does.

Personally, I’m not a fan of this type of story vehicle. It does resonate with people though. Stories are more accessible for many people. My son for instance, loved the Alchemist. I find most of these stories a little too on the nose.

The principles in this book are amazing! It is a combination of servant leadership, bio hacking, and self-mastery. I suppose I should like this more because it doesn’t read like stereo instructions...

I think my problem with this type of vehicle is that it is clearly a work of fiction. Though there may be some truth in the lessons, the writer can lead us in any direction he/she wishes. In this book, we are promised fulfillment and riches. The main character says that’s what happened and we have the happily ever after.

I prefer analysis of real, historical events. I’m sure these principles can be taught through a series of short case studies, much in the way Robert Greene writes his books. This practice reduces my disbelief because the writer is limiting the conversation to an analysis rather than writing a narrative with a clearly defined goal and the means to wiggle the details in order to end up at the right place.

Not a bad book. The foundation is great, but the way it’s told is not my cup of tea.

Great book

Great book but the fake Hispanic woman accent kills me. Someone should definitely read over that part.

Super great read! Recommend to everyone. lots of great characters and morals. like a children's tale for adults, as the protagonist is on a journey to learn life lessons and teach them to others. Highly recommend!

Game Changer!!!

Let me start by saying that I wish I had found this book 20 years or more ago!

This is the type of book that will bring the change in your life that you are really seeking. Authentic change, one that represents who you are and what your values are. Not only does it provide great insight, with amazing stories, but it also provides the tools that you want and need to bring your life to the next chapter or the next level.

I recommend this book to anyone at any stage in life from a young adult to someone approaching midlife or going through it or even someone in their senior years.

Everyone has so much to get a headache comes down to being inspired by the right people, or the right book, or just the right timing.

Great information, good story.

Robin Sharma has always been great at getting his points across in story form and I think it does a great job of delivering the message as it doesn't ever seem in your face.

I will definitely go back and re listen to a few key points to make sure I jot them down on paper.

Ableist, victim blaming, anti union, anti worker.

The core message is
"You should be happy in retail or food service, or any entry level job. Your boss makes more money than you and has an easier life, but don't ever ask for a raise, you need to choose to be happy and if you're not, it's your fault."

Good message, story lacks substance

I think this book has a lot of good messages everyone needs to hear, but it was delivered in a way that was so unbelievably corny, it was laughable. I could have done without the teachers calling the guy "Blake the Great" as if he was 8 years old. Also the cheesy music between the chapters was like being on hold for some huge company in the late 80s, maybe early 90s and completely unnecessary. The way the main character just bought into the philosophy without any convincing was unbelievable. This story lacked some substance, but I kept listening because I knew I needed to hear it. Like I said earlier, this book is full of messages everyone needs to hear, but be sure to have a sense of humor while listening to make it less painful.
