Default The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

2 years back, i read a book called The Monk who Sold His Ferrari. I am not quite a reader but that book was really rejuvenating, it teaches the old Indian way of living which is followed by monks residing on Mount Everest. One can improve upon his lifestyle by way of this book. What is your opinion and what did you learn out of it??

I read many raving reviews about this book. I haven't read it yet but it is on my list. Maybe I should read it next.

The title of this book alone sounds interesting and intriguing. Imagine a monk having a ferrari? And selling it? I must look for this book to find out what's going on.

why did he 'sell' his ferrari? If he is really a monk he
should have just given it away right?

I haven't read that book actually. Who was the author of this? I guess, it's better to look forward first the book before judging the lesson.

The title of this book is very catchy. It sounds like an interesting read. Do you know the author?

I guess it would depend on what the monk did with the proceeds from the sale. Maybe he gave the proceeds to the poor or other worthy cause.

My friend told me a jist of the story about the movie but I'm not quite interested with the movie because I am enjoy it more if I was able to read the bI think thereook before it becomes a movie. well if my friend was right in the movie there are several lessons in life that we should try to adopt in order to improve our lives. Is it true?
