' THE WEALTH OF LIVES WELL-LIVED ' : BOOK REVIEW

 

Non-Fiction : A self-help book challenges readers / students to think about living a more satisfying life that goes beyond the mere accumulation of wealth.

'' The Wealth Money Can't Buy,'' By Robin Sharma.

First and foremost is '' Inner Wealth '' : a positive mindset, self-respect, internal peace and a strong spiritual connection. 

Sharma possesses the unique ability to intertwine philosophical understanding and abstract concepts with practical guidance and enthusiasm, peppered with anecdotes from his life.

For growth or inner wealth, he suggests worshipping our wounds and scars. Because, '' if you are willing to get into the game, exercise your native bravery and take some risks to live your future vision, you're going to experience pain. The higher the mountain, the greater the danger.''

He also advocates not being a resentment collector. '' Someone looks at us the wrong way.

Someone close to us disappoints us. Someone we trusted lies to us. Such things are part of the essence of life. You can't avoid them, much as you try. When we are not treated as we wish to be treated, it's easy to get angry. Or to withdraw. Or to harbour secret resentment.

Next on the list is ' Physical Wealth '. Your health is your greater wealth. '' Why be the richest person in the graveyard? '' Look after your health if you want to be a great leader.

Linked to this is ' Family and Social Wealth.'  When your family life is happy, you will perform better at work.

Sharma holds out hope for those who are single and unhappy to keep searching, because he found his true-life partner in his mid-50s after he was done with drama and zero stability.

Being with the right person is incredibly important because '' your choice of mate is 90 percent of your joy.'' Friends and community, including role models and trusted advisers, play a vital role in forging deep connections.

'' To have three friends who accept you, encourage you and love you for who you are [ quirks and all ] is a special gift of a life wisely lived.
