Who Will Cry When You Die
This book aims to impart lessons that will help individuals lead a happy and meaningful life. To craft these lessons, the author has drawn from his own life experiences and the lives of great philosophers, innovators, and writers.
The book has 101 different life lessons packed within. Each chapter (life lesson) is roughly 2 pages long. Most of the lessons focus on helping develop some of the core qualities necessary for meaningful personal, professional, and spiritual life. These include discipline, gratitude, self-awareness, self-improvement, etc.
The structure of the book, the liberal use of anecdotes/quotes, and the author’s easy writing style makes it easy to work one’s way through the book.
While most of the lessons would already be well-known, yet it was good to have them reinforced once again. Personally, I found some refreshing ideas which I would want to make part of my life:
• Constant and continuous self-improvement.
• Filling our lives with gratitude.
• Taking control of our lives rather than let circumstances dictate it.
• Enjoying the small pleasures of life.
For a lot of life lessons, Robin Sharma has also given some great practical advice on how to incorporate those in our life.
As is the case with all self-books, reading them is just the first step. The true purpose of such a book is served only when great thoughts move beyond ideation to execution.
