Robin Sharma is the author of the #1 international bestseller “The Leader Who Had No Title” (Simon & Schuster). Pass this list on to a friend by using the tools below.
I have your book ‘MegaLiving’. I find it realy inspiring and motivational. Whenever I feel that I am going off track, I get back to that book ot yours!! Thank you!
Those are great points but i think its not aplicable for all the peoples because we are very complicated kinds (more complicated then u think) Really some of us find ourself HAPPY and fully satisfyed by following or doing some other actions thats why i felt that these points are for some target audience ( audience from high cites )this is what i thought. Is that possible that i get opinion of robin sharma regarding this outlook! i know D answer.
Hi Mr. Robin, thanks for your great tools & tactics of inspiring human, I saw few videos of your workshop and I’m currently reading your book “The Leader who had no Title” it seems very great, full of positivity book.
