Story
Jack Valentine seemed to have it all. He made good money as an ad man and looked good doing it. He had a hot apartment, cool friends, even a slick car - at least until the hectic Monday morning a truck smashed into it, sending the critically injured Jack to the hospital. Everything happens for a reason, though, and Jack’s reason reveals itself in the silver-haired cancer patient who becomes his roommate one evening. The elderly man, Cal, shares his life story - one not dissimilar to Jack’s - of material wealth masking a gaping hole within.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things - a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure.

After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns. As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.

Honestly... it's ok...
It has some interesting concepts that I would say serve more as reminders than new concepts.
The story doesn't really offer anything new either. The dialog between the main characters is almost laughable at times because it feels like the author is trying to hard to make the monk sound sage but it comes off as a little tacky.
3 stars because there were some interesting take-aways but unfortunately nothing new. I felt like I've heard different versions of this story hundreds of times. Unhappy rich man goes on a spiritual journey to seek enlightenment, discovers he had it within him the whole time if only he had changed his perspective, goes on to share the knowledge. Which I think is a good story but I felt like this book was very surface level in it's delivery.
Entertaining at times but not something that I would strongly recommend.

Some good points...but
I didnt learn anything that I didnt already know and it appears to me that the author was repeating himself over and over again. I try very hard to give a book a chance and I did make it through the book , however it was tedious. I also enjoy listening to my audiobooks on faster speeds and I could not enjoy the performance of this book. The speaker's accent was distracting to me. no matter what speed I adjusted it to. Sorry just not my cup of tea but maybe you will have a better experience from it than I did.

So right and yet so wrong
So much wisdom but in the end so misdirected. Poor Julian, he sold his Ferrari, and learned a great deal but he missed the last and greatest lesson. He misunderstood the monks. He came away from the monastery believing he should “heal the world” but observe the reality of the monastery and the lives of the monks. Do they spend their lives trying to make the world better or do they spend their lives isolating themselves from the corrupt beliefs of the outside world, protecting their own souls so that they have the possibility to make themselves better? They never venture outside, and they never invite outsiders in, so either Julian misunderstood, or the monks are living a lie. The answer is obvious, Julian missed the biggest lesson of all. As Ayn Rand so eloquently put it, “I shall live for no man, and ask no man to live for me.”
Was it all one big joke? Were the monks extracting their revenge on Julian for his uninvited intrusion? They were “enlightened,” so it is not possible that they did not see the incongruity of the charter they gave Julian. Learn to know yourself; now live the ultimate lie by believing that you must become a sacrificial lamb to the corruption of the world. Like Lucy, they convinced Julian they were sincere, only to pull the football at the very end.
That said, the book is worth reading and there are many lessons to be learned, but please, please, please, rip out chapter 12, and forget rule 6. “Live to give.” “The most noble thing you can do is give to others.” This is the most corrupt philosophy that has ever been espoused. Do not allow yourself to be seduced by this ultimate corruption; to believe that you live for others.

From the reviews I was hopeful this may be a good follow on from Eckhart Tolles “ the power of Now” and “ A New Earth”How wrong I was. If this is you first book on spiritual development then you may find it enlightening . I’m afraid I found completely unconvincing and badly written.

Drivel
This is dreadful. I am not going to manage past chapter 4 - I've had it. This book is a tired old rehash of every basic, pseudo-Buddhist, 'The Secret' - type enlightenment manual ever written but with no new insights, no revellations, not even a new way of telling the same old story...in fact it assumes the reader has absolutely no knowledge of anything vaguely related to it and treats the subject as if it's something completely new, divulged only in this book.
The supposed meeting with a 'secret' clan of holy sages in Nepal who hold all the answers to life and are just waiting for some random traveller to find them so that they can immediately impart their sacred knowledge (in English, naturally) is cringingly painful.
I can only assume it's been written for children. It makes Harry Potter sound like Dickens.
Seriously, give us a break. Anyone buying such a book is unlikely to be a complete moron?
I tried just having this on in the background while getting on with other things in the hope it might have a redeeming feature. Sadly not.

Gawd.. please make it stop!
A friend recommended this book so I was originally looking forward to listening to it. But early on I began to doubt its authenticity. There's a point where Julian Mantle, whose 53 year old body has just had a massive heart attack, and performs like he's in his 70s, scales the Himalayan mountains by himself, despite the fact that the author has just explained that most fitter, more amply prepared climbers die doing so. And then, after just 7 days of searching, Mantle stumbles across a secret clan of monks who give him the secret of life. At this point I googled Julian Mantle and discovered he doesn't exist. From that point on the remainder of the book sounded ridiculous. I had to stop listening, it was just pissing me off.

You can't afford the luxury of an original thought
After a friend told me that this book changed their life I thought I would read it. I struggled through half of it then gave it away. It was full of cliches and amaturish poetic writing. After a few years I tried again, thinking I must have missed something. Nope. This is up there with the worst self help book I've ever read. It's like a one word summary of all other self help books.
Book notes.
Put only good thoughts in. You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought.
See the glass as half full.
Every negative experience has a valuable lesson in it for us.
To savour the good one must know the bad.
Practice creative visualisation.
Stop working at making a living. Instead work at making a life.
Words have power
The mind is a wonderful servant but terrible master.
The price of greatness is responsibility over your thoughts
If you want to live a more meaningful peaceful life then you need to think meaningful peaceful thoughts
All lasting change requires time and persistence
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity
The secret of happiness is to find what you love to do then spend your energy focussed on that. Then abundance flows.
Take the road less travelled
Meditate for 10 minutes per day.
Heard it all before but written in a far more interesting way by brilliant inspiring writers.
This book just felt fake and contrived.

alright but full of cliches
was alright but I found the story was packed with too many cliches. my main gripe
1) doing what you're passionate about is BS. the market doesn't give a shit what you're passionate about - focus on others and solving problems - not on your own selfish passions.
2)you need a certain level of financial stability to be at peace. find me a happy person living in poverty that lives in a westernised country... no amount of mental gymnastics or meditation will make those with bad cash flow happy.
there were some decent points but I found the story and character development lacking.

Incredibly impactful read!
This simple story condenses eastern life wisdom into a series of easy to understand steps, making these divine gems very accessible to an often skeptical Western audience.
