Individual perception of one's self and empowerment is the focus of the book,The Maestro Monologue by Rob White. The book has four chapters. The first chapter is about seeing yourself as a better person and not having low self-esteem. It also has self-reflecting questions that enable one to reflect on who they are and who they want to be. The second part introduces the intruder in us that makes humans think so low of themselves through the negative attitude embedded in us since childhood due to failures and disappointments. The chapter also teaches us how to overcome the intruder through several quotes and encouraging stories.

Part three introduces you to the maestro monologue a narrative of self-reflection that makes available your immeasurable potential and reveals the true you (the maestro), the three states that evoke extraordinary aptitudes, talents, and strengths that lay dormant within you (the dynamic trio). The fourth part of the book entails the final destination in the journey of finding oneself.

The use of inspirational words, stories, and book quotes make Rob white an excellent author. It's undeniable that this book is what one needs to boost one's self-esteem and think positively. While reading, I asked myself many personal questions and realized that most of my life has been filled with intrusion from my negative emotions. This book has therefore helped me to understand how to overcome such negative thoughts and emotions.

I also like the way the author organizes the book into several parts of which each part tackles an important topic. The self-reflection questions are what makes the book extraordinary and very interactive. I felt like I was talking with the book about my personality while reading it.

I did not like that there were many topics and sub-topics in the book and I don't understand why the author wrote it in this way. Having one single topic per chapter would have been better instead of the various topics. This makes the reader lose track of what the real topic is and makes the book seem much more like a textbook.

The idea of making everything possible does not captivate me. The author makes it seem like humanity means being a superhero and just making anything happen your way is so simple yet the reality is bitter. An individual may have a positive attitude but that doesn't mean that everything will happen as they desire. The reality is that most people who expect so much and do their best get disappointed and hurt the most. This draws me to the view that the author should have also talked about the negative aspects of life.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars despite my doubts about it being so empowering. I recommend this book to everyone with low self-esteem and wanting to discover who they truly are. The book was professionally edited.
