The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma

Description

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is a parable centered on Julian, a hotshot-lawyer-turned-monk, and his former colleague John. Julian shares with John what he’s learned from studying with a near-mythological group of monks in India who know the secrets to enlightenment. His lessons teach how to live a simple, fulfilling, and happy life.

In this guide, we’ll explore The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari as an introduction to spirituality and philosophy. In addition to examining Sharma’s teachings, we’ll build connections to other texts that explore certain ideas in more depth (such as The Power of Now explaining how to “live in the moment”), and to other philosophical traditions with similar teachings (such as Stoicism’s emphasis on understanding your purpose).
