Matshona Dhliwayo

Christian is embittered after his father's death when he finds that his father has left his estate to his 2 ne'er do well brothers and he is left with a note in a box, telling him he will find all the answers to his questions at a small mountain top monastery in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Why would his father do this to him? Christian had been his father's favorite, who had always tried so hard to please his father. His father, upon his death, had told him that he was proud of him and he was to inherit his father's estate. Instead, he finds he is kicked out of his father's home by his spoiled older brother, kicked out of his office in his father's company and treated with contempt and humiliation.

He decides to make the journey to Lalibela to find out what exactly was waiting for him that his father wanted him to know. He finds an old monk who allows him to stay, and everyday does some task that seems to have nothing to do with what his father wanted him to find out. But he finds in the end, that all of the tasks where actually to teach him something that would help him be far more successful than if he had just given him money.

I enjoyed this book very much. In some ways, it reminded me of The Ultimate Gift which I liked a lot too. I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review-- thank you!… (más)

Matshona Dhliwayo is an inspirational author of note. In this latest book he has written a manifesto for winners. There are 100 rules, pieces of wisdom, to follow to become the winner you always you knew you were. Many of these rules we may know already, but somehow fail to implement in our lives. They remind us again and again that being a winner is reachable, but the effort and time is important.

I would recommend this book to everyone, for we all need to be reminded from time to time of these rules and the wisom they contain.

Tahnk you to the author for providing me with an ARC to voluntary read and review.… (más)

I love books by [a:Matshona Dhliwayo|7978664|Matshona Dhliwayo|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1500674361p2/7978664.jpg]. His books remind me strongly of [a:Kahlil Gibran|6466154|Kahlil Gibran|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1353732571p2/6466154.jpg]

This book is especially powerful. It is written in the style of Proverbs. Short pieces of very accurate wisdom or proverbs, for want of a better word. These proverbs are about things we know but often forget to practice in daily life or pieces of wisdom that we have not encountered before. Every single one of them is a small piece of gold, that will help you make your life richer in so many ways.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves authors like [a:Kahlil Gibran|6466154|Kahlil Gibran|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1353732571p2/6466154.jpg] and also those who love reading pieces of wisdom.
