The Greatness Guide By Robin Sharma

Navtej Kohli highly inspired by Robin Sharma writing and always like to know about new books which he going to be write. Navtej Kohli described ‘The Greatness Guide’ book is just a sequel of “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” but difference is that in the ‘The Greatness Guide’ Robin Sharma straight write essence of life.
Robin Sharma who is best known for his international best seller book “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”, wrote another book name “The Greatness Guide” for enlightening people soul and removing mind stress and giving mind bliss and peace .
Book contains near about 101 , divided into various chapter , each chapter dealing with particular topic and touching inner soul and defining new meaning about life and how can man can oneself to live highly self estimated and joyful life . Chapter contains very inspirational words which can shake your mind and soul , turns your minds towards peace for making life lighter with better thinking. Addressing all aspects of human life Robin Sharma remarks that everyone have to elevate oneself towards the higher platform. Author Robin Sharma having specialty for expressing words and feeling simply just a simple man grasp what author really want but having experience to dig deeper and elaborate your conciseness towards spirituality and mind sprit .Its raise the sprit and everyone feel good if read this book. No doubt to anyone for Robin Sharma writing and this book also left some patches in book writing. Because writer had write about simple man and his life .What man desires for his life and how much he get , what left and what life really want to a person , where the man mishandle his own life and how he best tackle his life practices.
Robin Sharma wrote in coach language like that
“Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your hours, so you create your years. As you life your days, so you craft your life. What you do today is actually creating your future. The words you speak, the thoughts you think, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny – shaping who you are becoming and what your life will stand for.”
These beautiful words clears Robin Sharma is a globetrotting executive coach, with that verbatim piece. Many person claiming that Robin writing is very commercialize but while I read that book I feel that some one who know all about me and my life , stood in front of me , asking for , wake see that sun is shining and make your own to way to live your whole life to take everyone with him . His beautiful words “Your days define your life”, sums up the entire book. I wrote many devotional monks or even gurus book but I noticed sometimes commercialization in the book but while reading whatever Robin Sharma told is your inner words and Robin Sharma giving the shape of these words . Sharpness of his writing, the punctuated presentation style off his brief but insightful chapters that one can relate to his ones life.
He have own writing like style sometimes laymen and less psychological garbage connect a man to right way. Whenever any reader reads that book he easily know the same mean which Robin Sharma want to say. The Greatness Guide doesn’t make any distance between reader , Robin Sharma , life and its meaning.
Many beautiful notes which I have noticed so far very beautiful and each convey life meaning
1. You don’t need to have the biggest title to do the best job.
2. As you live your days, so you craft your life.
3. The real risk lies in riskless living.
4. Focus plus daily improvement plus time equals genius.
5. Human beings move when their emotions are moved.
6. Remember, every great leader was initially laughed at. Now they are revered.
7. Being a leader is not about being liked, it’s about doing what’s right.
8. This very day can be the first day of your new life. It’s all your choice.
9. Think Like a CEO.
10. Be outrageously energetic and madly alive.
11. No one wants to fail, so most of us don’t even try.
12. The only with no problems are dead.
13. It’s never too late to become the person you have always dreamed of being.


What book The Greatness Guide Really speaks to reader .
1) “Burn Your Boat”, is a book standpoint when Robin Sharma giving an option that don’t consider himself as a failure He tells us a story about a king who went to conquer another country after crossing the sea. He asked his soldiers to burn all their boats, so that they cannot think about going back. This thought instilled the thoughts of victory as the only option in the minds of all the soldiers.
2) “Drink Coffee With Gandhi” guide everyone to read books of Great people such that person can take inspiration and makes himself to fight with any problems. He tells in the book that reading books of great leaders like Jack Welch, Bill Gates, Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi can make a big difference to our life.
3) “Leadership Begins with an Extra Mile” makes oneself to live like Sikander and something extraordinary leaders by taking an extra mile, and doing things which others don’t do.
4) is “Push The Envelope” Robin Sharma tells us that we all should push ourselves to the extreme, then only we can utilize our potential to the fullest. He also tells that all great leaders were initially laughed at, but now they are revered.
5) “Think Like a CEO” author Robin Sharma want to everybody to handle difficulties and facing problems and taking responsibility like an CEO Do for company to own whatever they do, and do it with complete responsibility. The author asks everybody to show up like an Entrepreneur.

Banana by Dan Koeppel


Finding something different, Navtej Kohli quest about new book end with Banana which wrote by Dan Koeppel . Describing more about book Banana and writer Dan Koeppel Navtej kohli says “It’s just be first part of Banana history, author must have know more about around the world for writing about Banana .”
This is a book which name give hint for what to book be written, yes its be true that Book is dedicated for Banana lovers gives various moods and lifestyle which are depends upon the history of Banana also gives various political situation and evens that are associated with the Banana . The question arises Why Dan Koeppel choose such as frutistic name for his Book, the answers is that Banana is only fruit which can be easily available across the world and many religious faith associated with the Banana and many political events and ups and down are associated with Banana cultivation.
Dan Koeppel Book in real be full description of banana history and its cultivation. The author Dan Koeppel wisely written its Book and avoid to give its personal traveling experience and given some straight biographical reasons. While Dan Koeppel started writing about Banana from where it came into existence - in an arc from New Guinea through Southeast Asia. And he describes its spread to Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and the Americas. Many events are also attached with the history of banana. The first is the growth of North American banana companies such as the United Fruit Company and Dole, starting with the first large banana shipments in 1870. Koeppel describes their role in Central American politics, most notably in the Guatemalan coup of 1954, and their domestic politics and the colorful businessmen involved with them. This book also throw light upon various old Banana verities and also new one .People always like banana to be seedless .Some banana variety was caused of diseases so that be soon replaced such that Cavendish which was be big caused of Panama Disease, caused by a fungus. Also author describe scientist research for making more banana breeding.
More about Banana can be found in that Book ,author also wrote about monkey and make some remarks over Banana and monkeys life , he stated that monkeys always like to eat banana , but the question is that ‘Who discover Banana Monkeys or other “. Before that man had adopted and used banana as fruit and start to use in daily life, banana is just nothing but wild herbs perhaps that breed unable to eat , but used as medicine , but after while man had started it cultivation , banana became more tasty and good to eat . But many point which associated with the Banana Dan Koeppel had forget to write about that banana is also related with various religious and rituals which make it more auspicious. Either write having idea only on America continent and in Asia and Africa many culture and religion using banana in their rituals. Moreover book is just like encyclopedia and throws light various uses and events associated with banana . But in my point of view that not be end of banana , some more book in the series Dan Koeppel will have to write.

Muslim Civilization : Umer Chapra

Muslim Civilization: The Causes of Decline and the Need for Reform




Navtej Kohli is a very secular person and he never like to favor or oppose any caste or culture but after reading Mr Umer Chapra book Muslim Civilization Navtej Kohli had set up his mind to tell something.
It’s a book in which writer successfully correlate and abides modern economy with Muslims economy. But in my view that author had failed to make clear his vision either he was afraid or even he had tore some pages after writing that because he had not mentioned what be plane and how should it be framed. They had map out what problems that must be first tackle like , Muslims and economy growth are parallel running processing since last seven centuries , in beginning its moved upwards but now going downward comparison to other. Islam , Muslims and off course economy are in coordination means with each other , in other words either or not Islam responsible for less economical Muslims growth. While staring his vision Chapra had vision which originally define by fourteenth century philosopher/historian Ibn Khaldun. Which states that it be derived by nature that every government have to follow Islam which contains wealth , prosperity , development and justice but writer had told that Islamic societies began to decline with the failure of the political authority. According to writer before Islam there was sop many tribes living and then Islam wipe out these tribes into powerful , political and social Muslims society , but he was unable to point what be limitation while the government or society was in critical moves means limitation of Islam mostly he drew Middle east Asian society .But when we go further author of book describe Ibn Khaldun's theory to find out what be reason to fall of Muslims society .He writes “given the upward push that Islam provided to these societies, there would be little justification in blaming it for their later decline." Writer had declined kuran’s claim that Islam progress is not only one day work but he get mature by generation by generation. Like Ibn writer is also agree that Islam was not but internal political disputes are responsible for that. Further writer point out few points that political illegitimacy, general overindulgence in military campaigns, unjust taxation and detrimental economic policies was behind of fall of Islamic world. But after discussing various issue writer had came to point that reason behind the fall are declines in education, science and technology
Chapter five analyzes the decline in education, science, and technology, all of which were vibrant in the first few centuries of Islam. While the writer concerns and book is concerns I am very frank to tell this which I suppose be necessary to point out that writer took dare decision to write about that but he really confused what he want to write either Muslims , Islam , political or even economical condition or even describing history. More over its be good book for library and students to read.

The Roman Triumph : Mary Beard



Navtej Kohli having much interest in reading in historical books , some books that be wrote during the era expressing clear image of that time of society but when a person write about past historical events , because describing that type in which the author was not lived like shooting bird in dark . Navtej Kohlihad read a book written by Mary Beard and the name of the Book The Roman Triumph.
Mary Beard beautifully described the Roman Era specially while get backed after victory and the scene was welcome in the city. When major military victory was be accomplished in ancient Rome, the general under which army was fought, passed through all main places and reached to the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill. This book show how in reality Roman victory was cheered in ancient days . Besides past golden days this books also shows shaded area in Roman Era.
What did it mean when the axle broke under Julius Caesar's chariot? Or when Pompey's elephants got stuck trying to squeeze through an arch? Or when exotic or pathetic prisoners stole the general's show? And what are the implications of the Roman triumph, as a celebration of imperialism and military might, for questions about military power and "victory" in our own day? The triumph, Mary Beard contends, prompted the Romans to question as well as celebrates military glory.
Mary imagination was just go beyond reality while describing the things which Roman conquers after victory such that animals which was not seen yet or even Roman Officers cruelty while they showed wars prisoners during victory march past .Many times Mary just want to ask that why people not celebrating his lost either in war or even game. Means the person who is winner always try to insult and tease the looser in such a way that loser either turns slave or even turns to became man eater tiger.

Rabbit's Gift By George Shannon and Laura Dronzek

The Rabbit's gift is one of the children books that I liked a lot and think it's worth sharing it on my Navtej Kohli Blog here.

Rabbit’s Gift by George Shannon is a modern retelling of the "giving" fable. The spirit of the original story is shown by the re-gifting of a turnip by a well-intentioned community of animals.

Through the eyes of the adorable forest creatures that are beautifully depicted by by Laura Dronzek, the reader sees that while he is not responsible for the happiness of others, his actions can deeply impact those he comes in contact with.

The book has a very easy conversational style of writing. It's logical flow of events, and the twist to the original story make this book a new classic. Shannon has done a good job in telling a complex story in a plain language that can be easily understood by children.

Standing Stones by Jean-Pierre Mohen

Navtej Kohli Shares another book review of a very popular book.
Standing Stones combines great photographs with a short but informative overview of megaliths, covering their place in prehistory, history, and folklore and myth. Mohen begins with megaliths in legend, touching on pagan, Christian, and romantic views of megaliths, and their emergence in pseudohistory.

"The Druidism that Stukeley invented is a completely original idea. It has nothing to do with the actual Druids, Gallic priests known to Caesar in the 1st century BC — and was created a full millennium and a half after the last ceremonial use of the megaliths."
He traces the rise of antiquarian and scholarly interest in megaliths, and the development of broader public attention.

"Interest in megaliths spread from experts to the public as picture postcards were produced; they were especially popular around the year 1900."
He gives a brief history of the forms of megaliths over three thousand years.

The final section of the book, named "Documents", contains excerpts from writings on the megaliths: William Stukeley on the origins of megaliths, Gustave Flaubert on the excesses of "Celtic archaeology", an extract from Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Gerald Hawkins on Stonehenge's astronomical significance, Prosper Mérimée on the Gavrinis images, and Mohen himself on megalithic art and on modern attempts to move large blocks of stone.

This is all rather limited in depth, as most of Standing Stones is taken up by photographs. The bulk of these illustrate the text, but there are also ten separate double page photo sets, illustrating Mediterranean megaliths — "Statue-menhirs and the torres of Corsica and the Balearic Islands", "Sardinia's giant tombs", and "Temples and hypogea of Malta" — megalithic traditions outside Europe — "The megaliths of Senegal", "The stones of the Toradja", and "Tombs and gods of the Americas" — and megaliths in art — paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, Johan Christian Dahl, John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.

Standing Stones is a nicely put together volume in the best Thames and Hudson tradition. It has little about specific sites, even Stonehenge and Carnac, and is of no use as a guidebook, but it makes a lively and attractive introduction to the megaliths of western Europe.
