If you enjoy Robin Sharma's brand of encouragement and soul/personal progression, then you'll love this one. Do think it's his best yet. There's all he's learned, and also the hindsight of age, which we tend to discount in life, but truly, living and aging bring their own types of wisdom, which the author is able to impart here. Pioneering insights on adopting world-class routines that will lead you to achieve superhuman fitness and become the most disciplined person you know Para obtener los resultados que muy pocos tienen hay que hacer cosas que muy pocos hacen”. Actuar y mejorar permanentemente. The Everyday Hero Manifesto (2021) is a how-to primer for becoming the hero of your own life. It’s full of detailed plans interspersed with short essays, anecdotes, and even poetry to help you become happier, more productive, and more successful.

For more than 25 years, leadership legend and personal-mastery path-blazer Robin Sharma has mentored billionaires, business titans, professional-sports superstars, and entertainment royalty via a revolutionary methodology that led them to accomplish rare-air results. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Sharma makes his transformational system available to anyone who is ready for undefeatable positivity, monumental productivity, deep spiritual freedom, and a life of helping others. Regenerating a more creative, productive, inventive and unconquerable version of your self—one filled with more joy, bravery and serenity—isn’t some unreachable gift reserved for The Gods of Sublime Genius and The Angels of Unusual Excellence. But a hero doesn’t always have to be loud and public. Author and motivational speaker Robin Sharma wants readers to know that within each of us lies a heroic force. Anyone who consistently strives to live their life with beauty, honor, self-respect, joy, bravery, and creativity can aspire to the title of everyday hero. Becoming a genius does not require hitting the genetic lottery. It’s a goal attainable by anyone willing to put in the work to get there. I think if you haven’t read his previous works, or if it is your first positive-mentality maximise-productivity self-help book, or even if you only read one chapter per day, you may have a better response than I did to it. Regardless, any book that depends on such a narrow criteria for a good reader experience, from my perspective, is not a good book. The trials of your past have skillfully served to reinvent you into one who is tougher, more aware of the powers that make you special and more grateful for the basic blessings of a life beautifully lived—splendid health, a happy family, a job that fulfils and a hopeful heart. These apparent difficulties have actually been the stepping stones for your current and future victories.

Cora Greenaway was what I call an everyday hero. Quiet and humble, mighty and vulnerable, ethical and influential, wise and loving. Improving our civilization—one good deed at a time. In all, there are 101 of these short chapters. Some of them even contain some great tales and maxims. The problem with them, in my mind, is that they prevent the book from going deep enough. It feels kind of surface-level throughout, like an entry-level self-help book — not an industry veteran’s 10th+ entry in his catalog. The book consists of many small easily digestible chapters and a few more meatier ones. I found maybe 1/3 of the small chapters contained something of inspiration, and maybe 1/2 of the bigger ones contained useful insights. So there is useful information in here, and I admit that it spurred me into taking a little more action in my life, mainly to satisfy myself that things I was already considering to try were actually worth beginning. I did also write down a handful of quotes. In school, I never fit in with the hip crowd. Always loved being in my own head, dreaming up fascinating dreams, marching to my own drumbeat. Doing my own thing, if you know what I mean. Pioneering insights on installing world-class routines, including rising early, achieving superhuman fitness and becoming the most disciplined person you know

For a period of three long years, I’d rise early, while my family slept, and experiment with practices that would reduce my weaknesses, purify my powers and more fully align me with my personal destiny. Take control of your environment, both exterior and interior, by carefully curating a space for focus and creativity. And in doing so, free the pure, happy, successful version of yourself who waits within. If you have not discovered something you would die for, said Martin Luther King, Jr., you are not fit to live. Now, why is it a manifesto for the everyday hero? Because when faced with difficulties, there are two ways to react: to be a victim or to be a hero. Choosing the role of a victim means seeing yourself as helpless, powerless, and unable to deal with the world around you. It tends to blame your country's government, nature, circumstances, other people, etc. However, blame and responsibility are different things. You may not be to blame, but you have the responsibility to act to improve your life and your environment, and hopefully, leave a positive impact on the world so that others can receive the help you would have liked to receive. Every day, we have the opportunity to be heroes. Each time there is a problem, we decide whether to run, freeze, or fight. What do you think a hero does? The hidden habits used by many of the world’s most creative and successful people to realize their visionary ambitionsShift two is from excuses to results. There are a hundred reasons why you can’t accomplish something and only one true reason why you can: because you should! Don’t let naysayers bring you down. When hugely successful Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling wrote a mystery series under the pen name Robert Galbraith, editors rejected her manuscript, suggesting that she join a writing group to improve her skills. Remember that someone’s rejection is only their opinion. Life really does favor the obsessed. Great fortune truly does shine on those mesmerized by their gorgeous ambitions. And the universe most definitely supports the human being unwilling to surrender to the forces of fear, rejection and self-doubt. It’s important to go through each of the above steps deeply and wholly. Beware of false positivity because artificial optimism that belies the truth and hurt of what’s actually happening can be just as damaging as pain itself. Convincing yourself you’re fine when you’re not can prevent you from thinking things through honestly and empty you of true feeling. Instead, the letter I received from the editor was a litany of criticisms. It began, "There are major problems with The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Robin. There’s no use mincing words."

And then, one day, when he was in his local bookstore signing the six copies of his book that he’d given the store owner on consignment, a man approached him, curious about the title of his book. Robin eagerly filled him in, using this opportunity to pour out to the stranger all his enthusiasm, hopes, and dreams for the book and its message. As Theodore Roosevelt said in a speech entitled Citizenship in a Republic, delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23, 1910: People living deeply have no fear of dying, wrote Anaïs Nin. Norman Cousins observed that the great tragedy of life is not death but what we allow to die inside of us while we live. I share these quotes to remind you of the shortness and frailty of life. Too many of us postpone doing those things that make our soul come alive until some imaginary ideal time arrives. It never comes. There’s no better time to become the human being you know you can be and handcraft the life of your most exuberant desires than now. The world could completely change tomorrow. History has shown this to be true. Don’t live your finest hours in the waiting room of life. Please.I am humbled when my life intersects with such human beings. Truly. I learn from them, am uplifted by them and am somehow transformed upon meeting them. I grew up in a blue-collar town of about five thousand people. Near the ocean. In a small house. A child of immigrant parents, with very good hearts. I had no silver spoon in my mouth, that’s for sure. Photograph as described in caption We do a lot of thinking and not enough feeling. This makes it easy for us to hurt others. Robin has an acronym to stop this cycle: AFRA, which stands for Awareness, Feel, Release, and Ascend. The next time you have a powerful and perhaps disproportionate reaction to something – say you’re extremely upset about a gift your husband got you that he clearly put no thought into – become aware of what you’re feeling, not what you’re thinking. Do you have a stomach ache? Does your throat hurt? Do you hold your breath? Don’t think about it intellectually; simply identify the physical feeling. Now, FEEL it fully. Immerse yourself in what you’re feeling. Sit in it. Next, set the intention to release the feeling wholeheartedly. Finally, ascend and rise above it.
