THE WEALTH MONEY CAN'T BUY by Robin Sharma extols a mindset involving "the 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life." Sharma, a best-selling author and advisor, includes 175 chapters (e.g., "Make Others Feel Special," "Seek the Mysterious in Your Work," "Apply the Kindness Always Motto") to illustrate his views and suggestions. He begins with discussions of a daily self-improvement habit and then reviews ways to optimize it, including a special focus on a happy family. Other sections deal with work situations, finances, and social networks. He stresses the joy that comes from being open to exploration and helping others. He writes about "things that may now seem unimportant yet when you're at your final hour of your last day come into clear focus as being the most important." However, he also says "this book is about a completely new philosophy and methodology of success and wealth that we are not schooled, trained or even encouraged to consider." I respectfully disagree. He writes about concepts (like forest bathing) that are not "completely new;" in fact, much of what he advocates is part of social emotional learning which is such a key element of many curricula.

This feels like a graduation gift. Chalked full of insights that make you feel good but can be a better suited for someone just embarking than someone in the "field," whatever field. It's full of world ideals and short enough to be able to take it all in quickly. It's in the realm of 4.

I really enjoyed this book. I knew I would as I always enjoy Robin Sharma's books.
This is the perfect book to help people find the pleasures in everyday life and actually stop to see them, rather than just letting them zoom past. I enjoyed his stories about Italy and all of his travels. This felt like he was taking us on his journeys with him while we learned from them.

I would recommend this book especially if you are trying to find a way to slow down and enjoy your life.

A quick read, this book was a good, general self-help book. The author does a great job of convincing the reader that "wealth" comes in many forms, including family and community, mastery of your craft, adventure, and well being.

This would be a good book for young people, perhaps as a gift. It has lots of good, basic advice and is friendly and accessible in tone.

"The Wealth Money Can't Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life" by Robin Sharma isn't what I expected. In his other books, lessons are delivered in parables; here, Sharma speaks directly to the reader in what he calls mentoring sessions. Each session is short, providing instructions to "eat your last supper today", or to focus more on the language we use about wealth and plenty, and the importance of being kind. These are short nuggets, easy to understand and absorb.

I'm not sure there's anything unique or earth-shattering here, but the lessons are presented in a way that made me reconsider my view of what real wealth is. I do rebel a little against some of the "life-altering system" language, which makes this sound like a get-rich-quick scheme, but the concepts are time-honored and useful.

Good book with solid advice that many people could benefit from. I really enjoyed it overall and would defiantly recommend it,
