It's been months since I have joined HIVE and I didn't bothered to write the book review. I read a lot of books from various genres. However I just don't write reviews. This year things are going to change on that front. So I decided to write the review not just for getting things out of my head. But also to shortly document some of the things I have learned from the books.
Today I want to share my views on some of the popular motivational book that I came across while I was on train journey. This book flashes in most of the book stands near every railway and bus station. So I decided to take it and thought I should finish it during the pandemic lockdowns.
Here's my review on You Can Win.

Most of the motivational books start with the gap between the success and the failure. This book has done the same thing. It focuses on the things that separate the successful people and the people who taste failure all the time. The book has plenty of stories where author puts the point that what someone should do and what they do instead which leads to the failure.
Another thing that author has focused on is how to build self esteem. I think that is something a lot of motivational speakers and the coach don't focus on. Any person who is into the loop of the failure, should be on the low self esteem and that is kind of affecting the performance of the person. So It's reasonable to say that author has spent enough time to clear this part as well.
Stories in the book are mostly popular and some of them are already known. However a lot of us don't know what is the take away from the stories. And the book focuses on that part exactly. I think some of the chapters are not much detailed which I hope the author improves on in near future with updated editions.
I personally think author could have added some instructional checklist like do xyz things from the list to improve self esteem. Or you can say one can follow 30 days challenge to do XYZ which is affecting the mental health of the person. I guess something like that could have improved the value of the book but it lacks that part. And so I think it falls lot shorter in todays time where people expect that much depth.
Shiv Khera is by no means Tony Robins. And I don't expect him to be either. The author has lot different styles and the stories to put the point across. I think there are some lack of the step by step approach of this book which you can see improvement sort of blueprint in most of the motivational books which this book certainly lacks. I think instructional guidance always helps the reader but I won't expect much from the author on that part as he's more of a speaker and coach. So they keep something back for their future business pitch.
