Megaliving – Book 5 of 50

Megaliving! by Robin Sharma is good book for personal development fans. The book is not long, just over a hundred pages, and many things are really to the point.

At the end of the book, there is a 30 day program for you to follow – which I think would be very useful for someone when they do follow it.

Maybe I should. Heh.

I wouldn’t say that this is an excellent read, but it does do a good job for me – in reminding me to take time off and get some balance back in to my life.

… and I should go try yoga.

I’m off schedule for my reading, but I will chase up. I should have read 13, but I am only at 5. Man!
