A good book always leave an impression on your mind, which influence you.

 

WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT?

The name of the book is Jasmine Builds On shifting Sands which is written by Sanjay Desai. While reading this book, you will realize that everyone has a calibre to achieve the goal, only you need proper guidance and right approach towards the goal. Jasmine, the main character of this book, achieved something which is written in her destiny. This book is all about how she self-discovered herself, and how she planned her goals to achieve a recognizable position.

WHY DID I PICK THIS BOOK? – MY EXPECTATIONS

I got the reference from @Blogadda, after their recommendation I read this book. The introduction part attracted me to read the whole book thoroughly because the author has a focus on self-awareness. Any person can handle the situation when he/she is self-inspected well enough. It all means how to come from subconscious mind to conscious mind.

HOW I FOUND THE BOOK? – MY EXPERIENCE

This book is full of motivation and self-interrogation. Through the character of Jasmine you can relate your life and how you need to motivate yourself and gain your self-confidence. Through self-interrogation, you will be able to know more about you like your strength and weakness. My read finished with the same interested which I developed after reading its prologue.

This book also teaches you that you should never fill yourself with arrogant attitude when you get successive wins. You should always keep your mind in stable form so that it can decide and judge the situation perfectly.

Chapter 13 of this book is wonderful which give a perfect notes on how to achieve your goals, and you will come to know about “What is Manifesting Equation?”

CRITICAL COMMENTS

As the author has narrated the whole story in a wonderful way but I find some difficult words while reading. A book will be more interesting if it expressed in little easy language.

LESSONS TO LEARN FROM THE BOOK

 I have learnt few things which I will be implementing in my life. Your note of goals should be there where you can analyse and tract yourself. Arrogant attitude always leads you towards downfall in life. Always keep your mind calm and productive which gives you a clear picture of your goals, and you can make your own destiny with your hard work and calmness. I also learnt that teamwork is very necessary for achieving something big in life. You should always give importance and respect to every member of your team for his/her contribution.

FAVOURITE QUOTES

• Goal + sustained Will * Focus → Win
• Being in the warrior state: A state of super-focused positive mind.
• I like the micro e-learning bar codes given after chapter 4, chapter 12, chapter 13 and epilogue

FINAL NOTES AND RECOMMENDATION

First you need to search your goals, and then you need to work out on those goals by questioning yourself like how will I achieve it?, What are my planning for my goals?, What are the appropriate approaches I am taking for my goals. The self-interrogation will give you a clear picture. This book also insist every one that meditation and yoga helps you a lot in keeping your mind in productive mode.

I would recommend you all please give this book two read with a gap of two months because it will motivate you again through the journey of Jasmine.
