- Great Book
This is an interesting story. It is a story of a lawyer who appears to have it all - the corner office, the life style, the cars, women, ... Then he gives it all up and tours the East. While there he comes across this strange monk and monastery. He comes to live life in a much different way. Yet he is challenged by the monk who has trained him to go back home and share the message he has learnt, with the West. Julian, our main character, returns to his old law firm and to his prot?g? John. He tells him a parable; then the rest of the book explains the parable and how it relates to different aspects of our lives. The parable is rather simple and a little strange but as it is explained you will never forget it. Read it to find out how a garden, ... Read More:

- I Love This Book
Somebody gave me this book to read and I thought it was an excellent book. I've read it a few times and I even bought my own copy. I find it uplifting with every read.

- A Bad MIx of Some Great Works
As one other reviewer, I bought this book because I liked the title. But that is where the similarity of our reviews ends.

The book is strange in the way the story develops, and the aide memoires used by Sharma are bizarre in the extreme.

It is a poor blend of Napoleon Hills "Think and Grow Rich" - a more preferrable read - and some Eastern Mysticism. I think a lot of the impact is lost in ... Read More:

- Hmmm
I bought this book because of the reviews on here so I feel it is important to write my own. I found this book to be overly simplistic and contrived. If you have read self help books it will have nothing new to offer you. I couldn't get through more than half which is very unusual for me.

Rating:

- Entirely unbelievable.
Not only is this book badly written, it is also entirely unbelievable!

As if a Californian lawyer would out up with the hundred and one inconveniences that you experience living in India! Please......

Yes, go ahead - buy this book: but only if yoy want to make some rich guy even richer than he is.
