Review of The Maestro Monologue
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Maestro Monologue" by Rob White.]
As children, many people were curious to learn and try new things; from learning to walk to learning to read and without much care on what could hinder them. However, as they grow older, they become more fearful and even feel inadequate when they think about doing something new or setting out to accomplish a specific goal and this is true for most if not all people. In The Maestro Monologue, Rob White explores the variety of causes for this development as people grow older offering to help the reader to become a Maestro and discovery their genius, defeat their intruder, and design their destiny.
Rob White believes that every individual is born at a perfect time and with endless potential with the ability to fashion their life into whatever they desire it to be. Although at first it may sound as if the author is living in a blissful eutopia, he does support this belief pretty well by providing disparities between the mindset of a person when they were young and when they become adults. White encourages the reader to accept the fact that they are responsible for a majority of what happens in their lives and that they should take responsibility to achieve a beautiful symphony.
The author continued to make points that really clicked with me as a reader. As a person who has observed many people give up on something important because they thought they weren’t good enough or that it was too challenging, the author’s views on the consequences of self-judgement really made sense to me. The author also made use of questions that really aid in the self-awareness part of the book and really made it feel lively reading the book.
Rob White’s belief that the life of a person is controlled by internal factors is one which I do not completely agree with him. Although it is true that most of the world is what we make it to be, the author does not really acknowledge that there are other individuals that enter the world in very disadvantaged positions that external factors play a major role in determining the layout of their lives. I also believe that there are times in life where one needs to criticize themselves in order to make logical decisions rather than always seeing themselves as being complete as the author recommends.
The author is occasionally repetitive but I believe that this is necessary in the technique he uses in writing the book and did not mind it at all. My rating for the book is 4/4 as there were only minor issues that I found which were really a difference in perspective from the author’s.
