Robin Sharma | Bestseller books, 5 am Club & Secrets to a happy life | Karishma Mehta | Ep 23 | HOB

“A home that's filled with books is a great home!” Simple and yet the most beautiful tribute to books can only come from a man who has been defined by them all his life. Robin Sharma, a Canadian writer and author of 15 global best-selling books, most notably “The Monk who sold his Ferrari”, is here for a conversational treat. This one is pure therapy and a healing session for all our viewers.

Starting out as a litigation lawyer and then self-publishing his book to achieve worldwide recognition, he is the walking definition of “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."

With humble beginnings and sheer determination, he went worldwide from a 24/7 coffee shop nearby his house with an 'apple mac' as his only writing pal. From putting copies of his own book independently in bookstores to luck striking his way one day, he goes back in time decoding his mantra for success and happiness.

Hugely inspired by Nelson Mandela and books dedicated to the cause of humanity, he enlightens on the power and practice of meditation, how to eradicate distractions and why ‘The 5AM Club’ is an inseparable part of his daily life.

To attain higher peace and monk level enlightenment is what he aims to achieve and still feels he is nowhere near to that, this giant of a man is an institution in itself. Let’s listen and understand how he was able to build his mark as a bestselling writer with no formal training but just an absolute call of gut. He now often mentors business corporations and global leaders for a healthy life, mind and work balance.

Watch this podcast with Robin Sharma and witness the rare secrets to a happy and zen life.

About Humans of Bombay –

Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 8 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 4.5M!

Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalog the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
