The Monk who sold his Ferrari

I went to Kakinada last weekend only to get stranded there for another 5 days due to the cyclone and its aftermath. In the 4 days I was at Kakinada, I finished reading the book "The Monk who sold his Ferrari". I thought I should make into a PPT so that I can remember those principles because they appeared very logical to me and this is one of the first books that concentrates on change from with in rather then exterior changes.

The story of the Monk who sold his Ferrari begins with a hot-shot trial lawyer, Julian Mantle, crashing with a heart attack inside a packed court room. We hear the story through the lips of John - his assistant. After the incident Julian sells all his material belongings including his proud possession - His red Ferrari. He leaves his busy practice and sails off to India in search of spiritual enlightenment. He returns after 4 years and by that time his junior, John is managing the show at the law firm. After the few introductory chapters the rest of the book is the conversation between the transformed Julian (The Monk) and John. Julian shares his principles with John after extracting a promise from him that he would spread the wisdom around. The principles and techniques Julian tells John are very old ones and yet the anecdotes and quotes through the course of this literary work relate the same age-old principles to the current way of life. The seven timeless principles are:

1.Master your mind
2.Follow your purpose
3.Practice Kaizen
4.Live with discipline
5.Respect your time
6.Selflessly serve others
7.Embrace the present
