Robin Sharma is not just an author anymore. He is a legend who is going to be remembered for ages for the contribution that he is making towards the society by spreading his tools for developing in personal and professional life. I read many self-help and motivating books but no book has ever been able to bring more effect that Sharma’s. I am just done reading his latest book named “Little Black Book for Stunning Success + Tools for Action Mastery”. I am as impressed as I have been for all the times whenever I ended up reading one of his books. I have just missed 2 of his books from the plenty that he has written and I regret every day for not picking them up. I am going to do that soon.
Robin Sharma’s usage of words and formation of sentences are another word for perfection. The magic that his words and sentences make upon the reader is unbelievable. I had never imagined that a writer can bring such difference through a book which is not even that lengthy as others yet become one of your priceless processions. This book is totally oriented towards profession and career perspective. The simple tools are shared by the author which can be applied in our daily lives which makes a big difference eventually. And the great thing is that author shares famous examples to prove his point. Nothing in his guidance seems to be a superficial stuff which is written just to sound like a great personality but not possible to apply in our lives. That’s Robin Sharma for you!
The book is divided into small chapters. You can pick to read 4-5 chapters daily in the morning and apply them throughout your day and eventually, make it a habit. After every chapters, there’s a page where you can write daily about what you have felt gratitude towards, where are you going to pursue mastery today and what have you learnt today. This is a great exercise if you will really end up writing this daily in your own journal rather than spoiling this book by writing in it. Overall, this is another book of Robin Sharma which is impactful and can be read multiple times. I give it 4.5* out of 5.
Thanks.

This book this a scam, like several of his other books. No original ideas, everything taken from somewhere.
Plenty of blank pages given in the name of action mastery tool.
Waste of money.

The little black book for stunning success.
This book is short ,crisp and precise. Don't let the tools for action mastery perusade you to pick this book. It was the same set of headings repeated over in the pages in which you had to write and reflect . The book does motivate one. Consider it a pep talk but it doesn't offer any out of the box ideas here. It is pretty simple and direct. The conventional mantras are written with examples. Compared to the size of the book the actual content is pretty less. A quick read. A right book for a beginner to start with.
Of course one doesn't immediately become stunningly successful after reading the book it's entirely ones choice to enact on his thoughts the book is compelling does a good job at giving you the push to reflect and oneself and act.
I would give this a 3.5/5

"The most successful human beings are wildly focused. They have a clear picture of what they want to create by the time they reach the end of their lives and they have the discipline and courage to stick to their mission..."
I really loved the book and how through short chapters the author tried to convey the message. And the best part of the book is that at the end of every chapter there is an exercise to do for the readers and there is a space also tl write the answer, and really loved the concept and it can make the readers more engaged towards the book. At some point I witnessed some typos also but those are negligible.
I really liked the quotes at the end of every chapter. The language is simple and easy to understand for the new readers too.
Overall, a short but good read!

One Word for this book is, SELF-LEADING,
This book has got its own flavor. I can see enjoyed reading this. Started with 1 idea each day for 36 days and later I had to read rest 34 in 2 days. Total 70 useful ways of life is mentioned to improve our daily life. Each one of them can make a difference to our whole life.
I cannot say that we all need to follow all 70, pick any 5 first and adapt those changes to your life first and then you can see how this encourages you to be better.

A smattering of value in a vast sea of vacuity and cliches. To be fair, many of the cliches were likely created or popularized by Robin Sharma himself. Energetically says things like “Face your fears! Keep growing! Live with passion!” without any real consideration for how to do this or what might get in the way.

Wonderful read.
This was one of the best collections from Robin Sharma. Simple, short and impactful. Any chapter can be picked, read and easily digested.
It's human nature to focus on what's not working rather than to embrace all that is. This one is a good companion to spread positive vibes across.

Just like 'Who Will Cry...' this one too made me smile to the wise sayings and feel revivified! Incredibly beautifully written and I guess it was an enlightening journey for the author to have come up with something like this.
