Book Review - Who Will Cry When You Die (Robin Sharma)

Who Will Cry When You Die (Robin Sharma) is a good book to read when you are traveling on public transport. Inside the book, it contains snippets that allow you to improve your lives, living a more fulfilling life.

What strikes me is the title of this book. For many book lovers of self-help books, you would realize that this title have some striking resemblance of certain content in Stephen Covey's 7th Habit of Highly Effective People. In the 7th Habit book, Stephen Covey ask us to imagine what our ideal funeral would be, what type of speech would our family members make, what is the strength of relationship we share with those making a speech in your ideal funeral. So when I saw this book, I immediately bought it off the shelves without consideration for the price. Haha! Impulse buying.

Anyway, I have no regret buying the book. Inside the book, it contains many short stories or actionable (and low costs) items where we can immediately implement it in our life and see immediate results.

I would recommend readers to buy the book and carry with it if you are taking the public transport, as all Singaporeans would know how long we have to wait for our public transport.

I give it 4 stars out of 5 for the many actionable items inside that can improve our lives. So what is your ideal funeral and Who will cry when you die?
