Who will cry when you die?
Being a fiction reader, it is usually very hard for me to pick up self helps in the first place. I rarely do so. But then, few books are meant to be read to follow few life style changes and to think about worthy thoughts. Who will cry when you die is not what the title says but beyond that. Personally, I felt it's not what happens aftermath, it's now and the moments you live are supposed to be felt which we already know but then sometimes we skip to give it a thought.This book helps in many aspects of one's life and I enjoyed reading it thoroughly. The way Robin sharma ends each lesson with famous quotes are worth reading. I loved many of them. One of the quotes caught me when I'm thinking of thoughts that are unnecessary and it somehow felt right enough."If you fill the unforgiving minute with a sixty seconds worth of distance run, yours is the earth and everything in it."Take time to complete the book, understand and learn slowly, don't read it in one or two days. Books like these are supposed to be read in a slow pace is what I personally felt. Overall loved it. One more quote I loved was added in photo.

Values, Life
This is my read of 2025. enjoyed reading, the context I was able to relate to most of the life. I felt we know most of the things which are said in the book, but the major part of the implementation we forget it. Give it a read.

100 Chapters of Shallowness
The book came in perfect condition. Below is my reviewMy Rating: ★✩✩✩✩Robin Sharma quotes a lot more than writing about daily life challenges and how to tackle them.The book is honestly shallow if it is going to talk about self-help. Maybe in the early 2000s, this book would be a great one to pick (still it would've been shallow at that time but just something new to start somewhere). But today this book is not something you should pick for any kind of personal development. Few Quora answers on the same topic can do better than this book. 20 Million copies sold so far and I couldn't justify why should I recommend this book to someone who wants to improve themselves. Especially, when there's no decent answer to the question "Who Will Cry When You Die?" at the end of the book. That's the title, isn't it?Realizing that the title has nothing to do with 101 simple solutions to life's most frustrating challenges, it left me thinking that it is more of a clickbait than actually talking about something related to it. Trust me, by not picking up this book, you are not going to miss anything at all. This book can be used to gain momentum for reading some other books which you keep postponing for a long time. Read it to improve your reading speed or say develop your reading habits.Books like these make self-help a lighter topic. Because most of them knew the problem, it is books like Atomic Habits, and Psychology of Money that addresses where most of us go wrong and makes the entire personal development move to the next level. If you simply write some 100 shallow chapters discussing read "Tuesdays with Morrie", dance in the park with bare feet, sleep less (my god that is something I find ridiculous while talking quality over quantity of sleep. Seriously?), and tell me these things will change or improve my life, I'm gonna move on from your books next time and make sure that I stop recommending it.You've many books to improve your reading speed. So don't even pick this. You're not missing anything in life if you choose to not read this book.

Brevity at its best... Better than "Monk Who Sold His Ferrari".
Robin Sharma quoted Sir Francis Bacon in his book which goes like this; "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested:", which boils down to the question... how should one read this book? People,.... this book is to be swallowed ....albeit it can easily be chewed and digested, thanks to the short chapters.The book consists of 101 chapters, each chapter consisting of 2-4 pages. The dimension of the book is small (palm size) so the 2-4 pages translates in to 1-2 pages of a standard sized book. Most of the self help books have something in common-they toy around with the same idea and talk about it again and again and again and again making it incoherent, repetitive and intolerable. Most of the self help books can be subsumed by 100-150 pages but the authors always repeats the same idea through out the book which is,often,very boring( well... at least for me). This made me aversive of self help books. I've read Robin Sharma's "Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", it was an awful read. I couldn't even finish it. This book ,on the other hand, is much better than "MWSHF" .This book is an amalgam of common sense and conventional wisdom and is replete with fascinating details about life musings.The author talks about other must read titles in this book which is a boon for many a serious book collectors. Robin Sharma's ability to evoke a sense of tranquility ,through his book, is commendable.At this age of conundrum and chaos, "Who Will Cry When You Die", is a compelling light read. If you are looking for a not so hefty read, this is the book for you. If you are a very serious reader who gives a damn about the quality of the content and style of writing then stay away from this one my friend.Thanks for your time. I hope this helps...
