Another self-help book aims to guide and teach the principles to become successful.
The principles like, think big, be an admirable leader, living upto your full potential, planning in advance, be an elite performer, be a constant learner, the company you keep, Journaling, gratitude, balance your work life and professional life equally, I have read about these principles in greater detail before but still it's good to get another author's perspective and guidance.
The importance of Journaling is well explained.

~"The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live".
My rating might be different if I didn't read it in these days :) But for now it really worked for me as a morale booster.
A simple book= yes
Quick read= yes
Energizer = yes
Message delivered = yes
So whenever you are feeling low go for it :)
~"Remember there are no real life failures in life only results. There are no true tragedies, only lessons. And there are no problems only opportunities for growth waiting to be recognized as solution by the person of wisdom".

When you have the habit of putting down your day-to-day activities and plans in a journal, when you have the habit of thinking that today is the last day for you to do your best, when you have the habit of introspecting a lot on a day-to-day basis, when you are interested in developing as many relationships as possible in your profession, etc. it means you have read The Mastery Manual. A down to earth practical guide to achieve life's successes in an extremely peaceful and friendly manner.

This is truly a life-changing book. Each page gives the reader actionable points to improve the quality of their existence. The best parts were the soul searching questions at the end of each chapter. I am definitely going to read this book again

A good way to recall what I have learnt from the previous 10 books of Robin Sharma. Nothing new to learn here, but a reminder of all those things that he has already told in all his previous books. Pick this up only if you haven't read his other books yet.

It's a compilation of inspirational quotes and ideas which are already presented in many other authors' works and Robin's work too. Moreover the content of this book is handled in the form of covert advertising. He intelligently sells and markets his books, shows and talents through this book. If you don't read any inspirational stuff before, you can go for a try. It may inspire you. But, personally I felt that the ideas are repetitive, conflicting and impractical, moreover he wrote it keeping in mind the elite class.

A rehash of what all things that he has already said in his previous books

Hola mis amigos, cómo de costumbre cada vez que leo un libro de impacto personal me gusta compartir con mis amistades más cercanas, en esta oportunidad se trata del libro “AUDAZ, PRODUCTIVO Y FELIZ” por Robin Sharma, autor del famoso libro “EL MONGE QUE VENDIÓ SU FERRARI”.
Lo primero de este libro me llamó la atención que su nombre original es “The Mastery Manual”, y su traducción no es literalmente lo mismo, sin embargo, la traducción del titulo viene a ser el resultado después de conocer y practicar las recomendaciones de Robin, posiblemente muy acertado para el mercado hispano hablante.
Este es un libro de desarrollo personal, personalmente lo considero como uno de los mejores que he leído este 2018, en síntesis el libro cuenta con mucha información relevante, desde varias frases inspiradoras propias del autor y otros personales famosos de la historia que dan un giro hacía la acción y reflexionar sobre nuestras creencias, además incluye de cierto modo un plan de introspección por medio de preguntas e reflexiones para estudio en un diario personal, incentivando llevar en práctica hasta incorporar en nuestro día a día y descubrir creencias limitantes y transcender sobre ellas hacía el máximo potencial nuestro que está latente en cada persona, un llamado hacía la grandeza interior e dirigir nuestras vidas de forma consciente.
En este libro el autor describe por medio de 36 módulos o capítulos que servirán de guía para el lector transformar radicalmente la dinámica vital e incursionar en nuevo horizontes profesionales y personales más elevados.
1. Vive desde ahora mismo en plenitud.
2. ¿Qué caracteriza a las personas de rendimiento extraordinario?
3. Un modelo equilibrado de éxito
4. El trabajo como función de primera clase
5. La pregunta de Steve Jobs
6. Pequeños Actos Cotidianos de Grandeza (PACG)
7. No dejes nunca de aprender
8. Destino y liderazgo
9. El poder de tus relaciones
10. Un saludo a mis héroes
11. Lección de liderazgo del mes
12. Al liderazgo a través de la audacia
13. Las múltiples formas de riqueza
14. El poder la renovación
15. Crea un libro de sueños
16. 5 maneras de gestionar tu vida como una persona de rendimiento extraordinario
17. Deja huella
18. Te desafío a que lo des todo
19. La eterna búsqueda de la felicidad
20. Las 5 disciplinas de oro para dirigir tu vida
21. Grandes momentos
22. Cerrando la brecha
23. Gratitud
24. Entregarse a la excelencia
25. Reinvéntate
26. ¿Eres bueno?
27. Construye un gran día
28. ¿Qué características deben mostrar las personas de rendimiento extraordinario?
29. Conciencia envolvente
30. El reto del liderazgo
31. Lidera sin cargo
32. La importancia de la perspectiva
33. El lado humando de los negocios
34. Renovarse viajando
35. Sabiduría vital para enriquecer tu camino
36. La necesidad de darlo todo.
Muchas frases fascinantes, comparto un top 5, sin embargo, confieso que me seria agradable incluirse muchas más.
- "Alimenta tu mente con grandes ídeas, porque nunca llegarás más alto de como pienses." - Benjamín Disraeli
- “Los libros te ayudan a ver lo que ya llevas dentro. En eso consiste la iluminación.” Robin Sharma – Audaz, Productivo, y Feliz. Pág. 39
- “Los libros que más te ayudan son los que más te hacen pensar. La manera más difícil de aprender es la lectura fácil. Los grandes libros, en cambios, los que proceden de grandes pensadores, son barcos de pensamientos cargados en toda su capacidad de verdad y belleza.” Theodore Parker
- “Convierte tus heridas en sabiduría, y en tus errores busca virtudes.” Robin Sharma – Pág. 42
- “Si ya no podemos asombrarnos y maravillarnos antes la belleza y el misterio de la vida es que ya no somos humanos” Charlene Spretnak
A parte de mi primera lectura procuraré consultarlo semanalmente por un periodo extendido para profundizar sus enseñanzas, sin duda lo conservaré en mi biblioteca por un tiempo prolongado.

Me gustan mucho los libros que te mandan hacer deberes, que te plantean ejercicios o que te plantean preguntas para contestar. Creo que son los más útiles, pues te llevan a la acción y a la reflexión. Sin embargo, creo que aquí Robin Sharma se ha pasado un poco. Hay tantísimas preguntas que contestar que requiere sus buenas largas jornadas de introspección completar este libro. Además, los ejercicios que plantea se sueltan alegremente en plan: levántate a las 6 de la mañana durante un mes y haz una hora de ejercicio. A ver, señor Robin, si yo tuviera la motivación para levantarme a las 6 de la mañana un mes entero así con solo proponérmelo en una frase, ¿estaría leyendo un libro para ser productiva? Me parece que sus ideas son buenas y sus preguntas motivadoras, pero que falta un poco de acompañamiento en el proceso y que suelta deberes demasiado alegremente. Lo que he hecho al final es tomarme sus preguntas como un buen punto de partida para una reflexión personal en mi diario y pasar un poco de sus consejos optimistas. La parte más narrativa del libro me ha parecido menos interesante. ¿Vale la pena? Sólo si te gusta llevar un diario y hacerte preguntas.

Disappointed by this book after reading The Monk who sold his Ferrari.
The Mastery Manual has many things adopted from his previous book and many other authors.
Things are being repeated over and over again.
The book can be compiled to a single chapter but it was extended just to make another book to promote his company targeting elite performers.
Really disappointed by this book.

What I liked about this book?-
1. Easy to follow. The reader need not be a lover of deep, prodding or philosophical style to gain something useful out of this book. The book is user-friendly, concise, most of the points given in bullet points and reinforces ideas time and again.
2. Style of the author is interactive, not didactic. You know how some people are, who inspire from their own energy and lifestyle. Robin Sharma does that.
3. Revisiting your own ambitions and ideas - Questions have been asked at the end of each chapter which you have to answer. I made annotations on the same page as I read the book on Kindle. When you go back and read that page again, you read not only the author's ideas but revisit your own. It reinforces your goals.
What I didnt quite like about this book? -
1. Relevance - The target audience of the book is the business fraternity. Since the book is already compact, a sizeable percentage of it isnt relevant to you.
I'd recommend this book to beginners. It really hits home a couple of points which will help you to bring key changes in your daily routine which are small but have drastic impact. Also, it'll make you a more focussed, dedicated person. Pick this one up!

In his book The Mastery Manual, Robin Sharma has discussed various leadership traits required to excel in both personal and professional life. Few lessons from this book:
1. Find your call. (Identifying your area of interest and dedicate yourself to reach high levels in that area)
2. Leadership precedes fellowship. (Don't just blame your employees for your leadership failure. Turn every employee as a leader so that they perform at their highest levels contributing to the success of your business).
3. People first, Business next.
4. The Steve Jobs question (What would I do if this was last day of my life?).
5. The importance of planning your day and Journaling your thoughts at the end of the day.
6. The power of traveling and reading good books.

April 5, 2015Yes, it's inspiring. I love the way Robin writes. I love his passion of helping people and I love the way he explains us the importance of writing a journal, travelling and reading.
But a lot of things seem to be repeated. That is what I didn't like. We need fresh tips and fresh concepts now. Robin's other books had raised such a standard that this book somewhere doesn't meet them completely.
But the book is worth a read and worth investing. I have always adored Robin and loved his books. He is my inspiration but I expected more from this book.
I give this tale three stars out of five.

The book encompasses all the wisdom Robin has been preaching since ages now. This time, in form of 36 neat chapters followed by a journal review, he will make you think about your life. As you write your thoughts in your journal, you will get amazing clarity on your life at the moment. Now allow the words in the book to propel you for action & live the life you always dreamt of. A wonderful book for gifting.

This book by robin will make u realize your strength and push you to make world a better place. I really enjoyed reading it. author explains how important it is to believe in yourself and enjoy each and every moment, forget the past, keep a journal which helps you to achieve good things and so on.
At times it may seem repetitive and reference to his other books which could have been avoided.

Repetitive concepts I would say. If you have read most of his books then this book would not be of any use. As I have just read Who will cry when you die, so for me it was a nice read. At Least few things are better than nothing if followed religiously and especially when they make your habits better.
November 1, 2015
Has very few good ideas, but this one appeared to be more of a self promotion that parting wisdom. Almost every chapter has some sentence like "My clients who are fortune 500 companies", "Our XYZ(TM) program".
Monk who sold his Ferrari was a gem, but this book stands no where close.

Robin does it again.Gives you that one extra reason to live positively....his book.While its a quick read ,it is no mean effort.Inspirational liners,ebullient quotes and energy packed writing. As he says it does not matter if you win or lose as long as you can make that difference.....
May 16, 2016
a book that offers you a brilliant opportunity to skim through the fundamental lessons on how to lead life by subjugating fear and breeding more authenticity in ourselves.
