“WHO WILL CRY, WHEN YOU DIE“, ROBIN SHARMA BOOK, SUMMARY, AND LESSONS


Book Summary

“Who will cry, when you die” is a fantastic book on personality. It's an awesome, awesome book. After reading this book I become a fan of Robin Sharma. He has given 101 amazing tips to improve his personality. These techniques are quite easy and actionable. I must recommend you to read this book.

Who will cry when you die is an important question, you must think of. But it's not too easy as it looks. It's not about that how many people will come to your funeral and how many people will cry when you die. But it's about that what you have left behind you after your death. It’s quite a different way to see life. Many people see their life as a race from start to finish line.

But it’s the way to see the last of your life. And about that what you have done with your precarious time in your life? This is the idea of the book who will cry when you die? In this book, the writer has given us short 101 lessons that help us to live our life better. There are too many lessons that I can't explain so I am in this summary only sharing 10 of the most important lessons that are more important according to me. But for all lessons, you can read this book.

Lesson no 1.
Maintain your perspective

In this lesson, the writer has written a story of two old men. They are admitted to the hospital. One is toward the window side. He always tells other men stories of what's going on behind the window. So other men feel jealous of him that he can see outside. One day that one window old man feal cough. So that man doesn’t call the doctor. So he died. Then that man shifts towards the window side. Then he sees that there is nothing except the wall. That man tells him stories to make him happy.

We make mistakes when we lose our perspective. Like some people have great problems but on the other sight, it's small.

Lesson no 2
Practice tough love.

the writer has said, “ the tougher you are with yourself, the easier your life will be.” Tough love means that you have a clear boundary of yourself that what types of things you have to do. Many people have a misunderstanding successful people that are doing their own will work but it's not true. But they have this habit that they do that work it doesn’t matter whether this work is according to their will or not.

When some people get up morning then they think about what their hearts doing to do or what they have to do in compulsion. But successful people do that work that he thinks will help them in the long matter.

Lesson no 3
Develop an honesty policy

We have heard a story of “ Honesty is the best policy”.  I think we have listened to this story too many times that we forget its real meaning. Most people don’t tell big lies although the problem is that little lies speak to us. So it’s a bad habit. To remove this habit Robbin Sharma has recommended a seven-day truth fast in which for seven days you speak to everyone.

Lesson no 4
Recruit a board of directors

Every company has a board of directors. Every director has expertise in his field. Similarly, our life is also a company. So, do some meditation and ask for the answers from your board of directors that are within you. For example, think that you are taking advice from someone that how you can innovate in your company. So imagine and ask the question and get the answer from your brain.

Lesson no 5
Go on a news fast

Most people are addicted to the news. They try to know every time what's going on. So Robbin Sharma recommends us to news fast. He says that you don’t have to listen to or watch any news from any news channel. Then you realize that also now you are not unaware. You will get interesting things by talking to people. but you also notice that your stress is finished and you are now more focused on your work.

Lesson no 6
Write a legacy statement

Successful people before denying write a legacy statement. So you should also write your legacy statement that after you what people will say about you. And make your actions according to that.

Lesson no 7
Be more than your mood

Many peoples are a slave to their moods. They want to do something but they have not in the mood of doing to that work. So, don’t depend on your mood. Think about the results of that work. Then you will see your mood is become good and do that work.

Lesson no 8
Be humble

You have seen that all most all the successful are humble. They have left their legacy. So, be humble. Humble means that you haven’t ego and you know that your success depends on your mindset, hard work, and luck.

Lesson no 9
Rewrite your life story

If you are not satisfied with your life. Rewrite your life story and start changing your life according to that. Take good actions and do respect your past and start writing about what you want to do with your life. What you want to become and then start working on that. You will see how easily you have changed your life.

Lesson no 10
Live Fully so You Can Die, Happy,

Most people don’t discover themselves until they die. We are living a life full of distractions and busyness. We are not available for ourselves. So, for yourself try to live happily. Find happiness in every moment of life. No one can make you happy except you. Try to live yourself. You will find real happiness.

  1. So, basically, I'm assuming how you deconstructed a very thoughtful book in very easy mode for a general reader like me who always wish to have enough self motivation to conquer the situation and bad things in life. However we all try for better in our perceptional context but unfortunately we never succeed to amuse moments of gratitude.
    Thanks for writing such a lovely note.
