Book Review of "Leadership Wisdom From The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari"
You know, I was very happy to have been able to review this book. Robin Sharma is a Toronto-based self-improvement and management consultant that is becoming very well known internationally. Aside from having really good book titles, Robin also has some really good content in those books. I have already read this book's predecessor, which is called: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, so let me give you some back-ground.

The Science Of Shopping
Have you ever been so absorbed in a book that you just couldn't put it down? And have you ever kept interrupting your partner saying "Listen to this" and read out aloud yet another extract (till they leave the room or the bed and go elsewhere for some peace)? Well I'm guilty of that and it's not the latest John Grisham thriller or a fact more exciting than fiction Jeffrey Archer story.
The book, My Imaginary Friend, tells the story of a seven-year-old girl by the name of Kathann. Kathann is an innocent child with a wonderful and creative imagination. Her creativity helps her face the terrible secret that she is a victim of sexual abuse. Through Kathann's imagination, she meets Becky, a young girl who encourages her to confront the secret and face her fears of sharing the secret with an adult.
Told from a child's perspective, the story is a wonderful tool to help children gain the courage to speak out when they find themselves molested or abused by an adult. In a supportive and gentle dialogue, the authors raise important issues of trust and fears about the results of telling. The well-crafted illustrations that accompany the story will help children follow Kathann's journey of taking the first step toward survival and healing.
Kathann is a young girl faced with dealing with the terrible secret of being a victim of molestation. Through the eyes and imagination of Kathann, children who are victims of abuse will learn from Kathann's experience that they have the ability to conquer their pain and fears and take that crucial step of telling an adult.
Unfortunately, there are many child predators in society. With a comfortable and easy to read story of strength and encouragement, My Imaginary Friend not only benefits children who are victims of abuse, but will also help other children speak out if something bad happens to them. My Imaginary Friend teaches children that they have the strength to tell an adult when someone hurts them. It is also a wonderful way for parents to discuss the topic with their children without scaring them. The book would be a great addition to libraries.
