Drawbacks or things that distract us from connecting to this book or things that disturbs our book experience is that the author will be giving certain examples of his own, examples that seems like not generalized and not having a wider perspective
A reader reads a book for the only reason – a pleasure full book reading experience, then only for knowledge and other stuff. Only after crossing some 100 pages, you will start getting that actual experience and that’s how I felt reading this book. If we read the book with our heart then its effect in our life in a very beautiful way.

Synopsis - Spoiler Alert!
Through 101 short chapters, Robin Sharma is insisting us to schedule things and to keep track of the schedule. He tells us to schedule time to love our beloved ones, friends, family, to enjoy nature, to do what we love to do, to spend time alone, and to read more and everything. Scheduling things, passion, yourself, discipline is all Robin Sharma focuses on in this book.
Every lesson in this book is worthy and along with that everything is discussed here is to the point no repetition of the same thing which makes this book unique & the reader wouldn't be bored while reading this book.
The important chapter is the 99th chapter- “Love Your Work”. The reason why this chapter has been kept last is that it takes the whole previous chapters to change our minds to realize what is taught in the 99th chapter.
It tells us to love whatever we do. Even if it is your work assigned to you on behalf of others, you have to do it with passion.
This book just makes a good impression on our lives. It gives us new perspectives on learning, but also starts having its influence in your life, changing your lifestyle. Another important goodness of this book is at the end of the book, you will feel like time is precious and we must make use of it.
I love the way Robin Sharma expressed his thoughts in a very simple language which is why this book is easy to understand by any age group.
Personal Verdict
Before reading this book, if you are wasting time in unwanted things, it lets you focus on what you want, lets you think about what actually desires you, makes you think about your purpose in this life and at last it forces you to think about yourself and spend time for yourself by focusing you on activities that actually fascinates you.
This book has made me realize that I should carve out some time for myself by observing nature in solitude and for those who love me.
By the end, we should all keep our mind, it's just a book. All things have their pros and cons. So we have to decide whether we will take the good side or bad side.
You will realize this book insists you not to bother who will cry when you die. But it tells you to be happier more and more before your death, so you can die anytime with much happiness.
The Bottom Line
Robin Sharma has written a masterpiece, and you can actually peek into his life, his interests & day-to-day activities through each and every life example he gave in each chapters! Mr. Sharma has shown us the way through which a person can purify his mind, heart and soul.
There's a saying that every book holds an answer to your question. Well, this is the book through which I got an answer to a question which I was searching since 5 years!
I hope whoever reads the book can get answers to their curiosity which makes one’s life restless.
