I was very happy to have been able to review this book. Robin Sharma is a Toronto-based self-improvement and management consultant that is very well-known internationally.
He’s actually a very interesting guy and has built up quite a fan base all around the world. If you check his speaking schedule on his site, you’ll see he’s always booked. His articles were always one of my favorite things to read on his site.
Robin has written several books now and many come with very catchy titles, like the “monk” series. But aside from having really good book titles, Robin also has some really good content in those books. I have already read this book’s predecessor, which is called: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, so let me give you some back-ground.
These fiction books are about a fast-living lawyer that goes to live with monks in the Himalayas to seek enlightenment after a sudden heart attack. Now, he’s returned, long flowing robes and all, in order to spread the word to friends of what he’d learned about visionary leadership in business and success in life.
The story line shares certain rituals about this success. In the first few rituals you’ll learn how to make your workplace a better place to be. What good does it do your company if everyone hates you and the place they work? Trust me: It doesn’t help you. You might just find that your greatest resource is your people and this book could help you unlock their potential.
The rest of the rituals are about things to do for yourself, or change about yourself that will help you bring your operations to new levels. If you’ve read this far, then maybe this book has been brought to your attention just at the right time for you to be receiving it.
Created in the 1980′s, by a charismatic entrepreneur, Carlo Crocco, Hublot is a creative young watch-making brand that established a well grounded position among the Swiss luxury watch-making powerhouses, and up to this day, the brand remains carved in the history of today’s Haute Horology as the first luxury watch-maker that blended the classy elegance of gold with the sporty youthful air of natural rubber, an inconceivable combination which individualized Hublot and placed it among the most renowned watchmakers of the world.
Headquartered in Nyon, Switzerland, Hublot always focused on preserving its audacious personality and creative freedom, and always tried to introduce innovative new complications and limited editions which targeted a large audience, and up to this day, for this brand rubber crosses beyond the boundaries of a simple fashion phenomenon; the use of this material became rather the embodiment of the brand’s philosophy, as well as its iconic signature.
Through the years, Hublot designed countless sporty timepieces inspired by the dynamic world of football, nautical sports or by the exhilarating universe of the racing circuits. In order to mark a profound connection with this latest, the brand appointed Bruno Senna, a talented Formula 1 pilot, to be its official ambassador in 2010.
A member of the Spanish Campos Meta team, internationally known for conquering the GP2 circuits in 2008, and for being the nephew of the notorious Ayrton Senna, Bruno Senna begun its privileged partnership with the prestigious watch-making brand two years ago, when Ayrton Senna Institute headed by the sportsman’s mother, Viviane Senna initiated a close connection based on friendship and shared values with Hublot.
The renowned watchmaker and the gifted pilot both share the same youthful enthusiasm, ambition and the constant desire to strive, to accomplish audacious goals, and as a brand’s spokesman, Bruno Senna is a man who embodies powerful standards of excellence, and stands for the values cherished by Hublot strongly connected with a glorious past but constantly reminding the brand’s customers about a promising future paved with many victories.
