Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny. This seems to be the central message of "Megaliving" and it is a good one. The book is crammed with wise sayings, poignant quotes and plain good advice, such as, "Maintain and nurture your friendships," and "Feed your mind with good books, as books contain a wealth of knowledge and experience for you to tap into". For anyone who is looking for a concise self-improvement book, this is a great choice. However, I personally prefer books that appeal to the emotions as well as the intellect, motivating change through stories that evoke longing rather than simply through practical suggestions. "Sow a thought" is where it all begins and ends, yet little regard is given to sowing a desire or feeling. Also, I find it rather exhausting to read a book which only advocates behaviour change. Somehow, it needs to be diluted by more realistic portrayals of human experience, for example, how people try to improve and fail several times before getting it right. I found that reading an ordinary novel at the same time as I was reading "Megaliving" helped to keep the material fresh, and I recommend that others do the same. Perhaps the book is most useful as a bedside companion, something to dip into every now and again for a dose of inspiration. It is certainly not suited to a quick, one-time read.

i'm not so into these kind of books but it all depends on what we are looking for ! these days i want to be motivated and i really want to change a lot of things in my life , so it was very useful information on self-improvement for me at this point . it is a nice Book divided in four parts:

Part I: includes The Megaliving! Philosophy
Part II: consists of The 200 Powerful Master Secrets For Megaliving
Part III: has The Megaliving 30 Day Program
part IV: THE MEGALIVING! SUCCESSLOG

in this book Robin taught us how to achieve Mastery of the Mind, Body and Character. and he tells us the secrets of Mastering Our Body and how to Attaining Public Excellence and Private Victory through your Character.

Robin has given us in part II The 200 Powerful Master Secrets For Megaliving, I love that part because of its simple yet powerful Secret which one can easily follow. Although some of them i just don't think they are easy as he thinks, you know the real world is always tougher than the books world ;).

also i liked how he focused in body too. not just that pinky words that tells you for the million times " be positive , love your life ... etc ". i quote :

" Try fasting one day every two weeks. During these fast days, drink fruit juice and eat fresh fruits only. You will feel more energetic, cleansed and alert. Fasting also has a salutary effect on your will-power as you are subverting the otherwise pressing impulses in your mind calling on you to eat more."

go read it if you are seeking inspiration.

quotes i like :

* Your thoughts shape your world
* Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future
* Success on the outside begins with success on the inside.
* A super successful mindset does not happen in a day. You have to work hard on it just like any other worthy pursuit in life.
* Anything you faithfully and honestly believe you can achieve, you will achieve if you take persistent action in that direction.

Robin's straightforward approach in offering potent steps for self-development makes this book a compelling guide. The simplicity of the strategies, coupled with their effectiveness, creates a dynamic formula for personal and leadership growth. Each chapter leaves the reader invigorated with inspiring thoughts, making it an overall excellent resource for those seeking self-improvement.

Megaliving by Robin Sharma is a precise book for self-improvement. I simply enjoyed it, especially the topic- Top 200 secrets and pillars of self-mastry.

Same as Monk who Sold His Ferrari.

Good book to set agenda of self improvement of mind,body and soul.

[France · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ce livre-guide m'a définitivement aidé à prioriser mes buts personnels et professionnels à court terme et à long terme. De tous les livres de ce genre, c'est celui qui m'a aidé le plus car on doit identifier nos buts dans le cahier d'exercice - plus facile à dire qu'à faire!

The best book I have come across under self-improvement section... This book will urge you to explore your inner-self which many times we forget to give its due... If you follow the 30 Day program life is going to charter through uncharted territories....

[Shailesh Joshi · Rating 4 out of 5]

An Excellent Book ...The 200 Principles are just life-changing .....It's a book to be read again & again ...

Džiaugiuosi, kad nereikėjo mokėti už šitą knygą, ir kad skaitymui nesugaišau per daug laiko.

[Kristina Green · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pasikartojančių lozungų kratinys 50% viskas kartojasi, jaučiu čia iš tos serijos kartojimas mokymasis arba įtaiga. Man atrodo kad šita literatūra yra pasenusi dešimtmečiais.

[Regina Petreikienė · Rating 3 out of 5]

Knygoje pateikta nemažai gerų tiesų, bet tuo pačiu ir dalyje knygos patarimų jaučiasi pasenę, nebeaktualūs (kas turbūt tikėtina per 25 metus)

[Chhaya Verma · Rating 2 out of 5]

A good book indeed, but clearly not my kind of book. it takes me a lot of self motivation to read any non-fictional work. It was my first Robin Sharma read, the book is more like what you mostly find in any motivational speech. It has some really inspiring lines and a few real life examples but I could not drag myself to the end of this book because it's really not the kind of book I like and beside that if you are a good reader—a good fiction reader, than there is always a lot of inspiration there you don't need to delve on these kind of books to find inspiration and after being habitual of fiction and beautiful words it seems so colorless and so bleak to read such books.
Despite of my claims that I didn't like the book much, I still recommend it to those who are searching for a good motivational book. If you are in search of motivation than this book is for you.

كتاب يزرع عاده الايجابية فيك بالكثير من المقترحات والافكار .. لكن يغلب على شارما التكرار فقد تجد النصيحة مكتوبه ٧ مرات بطرق مختلفه وبالنهاية قد تكون اقتباس او تاثر من احد الكتاب .. غلب عليه الترويج لكتب كثيره .لكن يمكن اختصاره ب ٧٠ ص بدلا من ما يزيد عن ٣٥٠ ص

الايجابية رمز من رموز الاسلام فلا غرابة في ان يقترح روبن عليك الصيام مرة كل اسبوعين .. او تسترخي وتتأمل وغالب كتابنا المجيد يقول (( افلا تتفكرون )) وغيرها من عادات السعاده التي هي طريق وليست غايه التي نجدها بحسن الظن بالله وتفاءل بالخير تجده من عمق السنة النبوية ..

العقل الباطن يجذب ما تسعى اليه .. (( وان للانسان ما سعى )) سحر الجذب بحسن الظن والايمان بان كل عثره هي موكب خير ..

كل ما يجول من افكار الغرب هو اسلامي شرقي بحت .. بقوانين وتسميات اخرى ..

درب نفسك على الخير حتى يغمرك ..
اعط الاخرين وآثر على نفسك (( لن تنالوا .. حتى تنفقوا ))


ما استرسل لي بالكتاب هذا هو اني في كل مرة اجد برهان ربي بان ديني دين حق 🌵🌻

Did i just bought a book from someone who sells paper in a bus? Robin could do better if he just stops acting like a hawker, really.


Having said that, its fair to call it a good book with many simple advises; most of which are practical. I rated this 2 stars not because of the content - but because of repetition of it. Anyone who has read his other books The monk who sold his ferrari and Who will cry when you die will feel this. A huge number of times even same sentences are copy-pasted with a different arrangement.

And then he chose to write it unnecessarily long. To the point - is best.
So yes one should see what advises can he/she follow and i am sure it would bring some positives in life at least.

I am a New reader.. this is the third robin sharma tittle i read. To be very honest, it helpded me a lot to get a new direction to myself and to find the real ME. THank you Robin!

This is a must read for everyone who wants to achieve better things in there lives and for ppl like me who HAD no scedule or plan for life. I made one ..and its bulletproof ;)

[Rohini Sudhakaran · Rating 4 out of 5]

Inspiring book.
Who wouldn't wish to live a mega life?

The book is divided into three parts.

Part 1, is literally to the people who have lost hope. Where it improves the mind, body and soul.
Part 2, the most loved part. Here the author made the book even more interesting with 200 strategies to lead a positive life.

Part 3, 30-days program for a perfect life.

[Anil Swarup · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book fades in comparison with the other masterpieces that Robin Sharma has authored though even this one has vignettes like "Maintain a sense of humility and realize that you can learn something from everyone. Every person you meet everyday is a teacher of some sort". How true.

[Sandy · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is a good book, but not a great one. Robin sharma can clearly do a great job of motivating one, but he was not able to make the reader interested enough to keep turning pages as he did in his book 'The monk who sold his Ferrari'.

[Navaneeth Kg · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best book to read if you are looking to transform your life. Robin sharma, emphasises on controlling ones mind to achieve self mastery which is life mastery. Written in very simple yet inspiring tone, this one definitely goes into my 'best self help book shelf'.

[Deepu George · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice book. A lot of ways to improve your selves and your out look. A lot of repetition... But is still gud as it will allow u to remember. The listing of 200 secrets also has a lot of reps and many things said in diff wordings. Instead of 200 ... He could have gone for 50. Still nice work

[Prashant Verma · Rating 1 out of 5]

When you read for the fiftieth time how this book is going to change your life in first ten pages, you are not sure if the author is trying to convince you or himself. Full of verbal diarrhea and snake oil claims , with nothing substantial to back it up. Unintentionally funny.

Better than Monk who sold...........

Currently reading. Promises to be another great book. Shall record my comments after completing it.
