Robin S. Sharma

Robin Sharma is a Canadian self-help writer who turns questions of ambition, discipline, and purpose into practical instruction. A former litigation lawyer, he often writes for people whose outward achievement has brought exhaustion or dissatisfaction. His characteristic method is the motivational fable: direct, conversational dialogue carries a sequence of lessons, while a mentor figure converts broad ideals into routines and exercises. In The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, a depleted lawyer’s spiritual journey frames advice on attention, time, and balance. The 5 AM Club adapts the same approach to habit formation, following two struggling professionals through a program whose centerpiece divides the first hour of the day among movement, reflection, and learning. Sharma also works in compressed nonfiction forms. Who Will Cry When You Die? presents short, self-contained entries meant for immediate reflection or practice, moving quickly among stress, daily conduct, contribution, and legacy. Whether using story or brief essays, he favors clear prescriptions, repeated formulas, and incremental changes that connect private habits with professional effectiveness and a more deliberate use of time.
