This is my latest haul.Let me tell you about each book in general.
Who doesn't know Anupam Kher in India? He is an amazing character actor and when he came out with a book I had to purchase it! I expected an autobiography kind of book but this is more like a "coffee table biography" style book. Well, I am yet to go through it and will give a review as soon as I finish it.
He is well known as the editor who changed the face of "Debonair" magazine. This is a book filled with gossip, real life stories and most of all sensationalism. Well, who doesn't like that and this is on my next book list to read as soon as I finish "The secret of the Nagas" by Amish.
I have seen this book before but always avoided it.....Don't know why???? Anyway one of my dear friends told me to give this book a shot as she is really enjoying reading the book & I thought why not??? My dear friend you know who you are and thanks for the recommendation.
I am not a huge fan of self help books but we all need some guidance at times right? So, I ended up purchasing 2 self help books.
I am neither an introvert nor an extrovert. I am stuck somewhere in between. I honestly don't need help to strike up a conversation with anyone but this book has amazing reviews from others and I thought there is no harm in trying rt? I went through a couple of chapters and I do like the book as it gives practical solutions in a very easy manner. This is a great book for people holding jobs at corporate sectors. Do check this out if you like these sort of books.
I hated his first book "the monk who sold his ferrari".....yup you heard me right.........I hated it!!!! Then why did I buy this book........well, I do love the motivational speeches of Robin Sharma. If you are into those sort of things as in like leadership enhancing talks then do check out his youtube channel in HERE its amazing!
So, I decided to give his books another shot and I searched a lot and found this book to have a lot of positive reviews. So I went ahead and bought it. I haven't even opened the book yet, so I don't know what is there in store for me. I hope its something goooooooodddddddd.
Anyway this was my book haul. I hope you guys enjoyed my small haul. I am in good reads, so if you guys are in good reads then plz do add me as your friend

wow nice `haul` anju..luking forward to ur reviewsss...
v r so different in regards to books-i mostly read only self-help books i have a gud collection of them n i have huge respect for robin sharma n i quiet love the monk who sold his ferrari,in fact i m reading it now,again.
n hey just curiosity,y didnt u like the monk book..i m asking only to knw ur point of view on that book anju,only bcoz i want a different angle altogether on the boook other than mine..and i cant ask my frnds bcoz they r not into books so much...
@pavani:- I do understand ur dilemma as to why wouldn't I like this magical book...well, let me say my reasons. First of all its an age old story of a guy who gets overworked and misses out on much simpler things in life. Remember Jerry Maguire? kind of the same plot. The author takes so much of time to tell us his "real technique" that in the end thats what he does...takes away too much time from the reader. I do love the fact that he has brought in ideals of hinduism and all that into the book for the younger generation to understand. Honestly I didn't get anything NEW from his book that I had not heard from someone else. My family itself is very lively and they are all about putting in your hardwork and also at the same time tells us to step back a bit to enjoy the fruits that we received through our hard work. So, basically I am NOT an overworked person, as I take time out to enjoy my life both in materialistic & spiritual sense. In that way for a person like me this book had nothing much to offer( am sorry). But I do love his "leadership" quality invoking speeches and I do see his youtube videos and I enjoy them very much. "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" seems like an enticing title but it failed to thrill me...I would rather like to be a cool monk who gets to keep his ferrari :D. Best of both worlds. Am sorry if my opinion clashes with yours....but you asked me and thats y such a long reply :)
hey anju..nothing like sorryyy n all...i was just curious as to y u dont like it..thats all nothing else...hehe...
