Our view
“The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” wraps its self-help lessons in a fable: a former star lawyer tells a friend how he remade his life. Readers who take to it find the advice sensible, at times profound, and easy to absorb as one long conversation. Some find the story clichéd and the writing cheesy, some find the dialogue format stilted, and some give up early.
