The Maestro Monologue by Rob White is a non-fiction book that offers the reader an opportunity for self-introspection through a process of understanding human nature and awakening the authentic self. Also, it is therapy for the soul that highlights states of being, inner contradictions and helps to acknowledge the psychological fears.

Briefly, this book makes the reader embark on a spiritual journey and provides a vision of his personality. It is structured in four parts, emphasizing the contemplation and the re-evaluation of the true self from a new perspective. Each individual has two personalities and must distinguish them very clearly. The authentic self of people is the 'Maestro' of their life. The 'intruder' is the other self who appears when fear takes over the mind.

I liked how the book is presented as a treasure map of the reader, which helps him travel to a dimension of new possibilities. The author presents different hypothetical situations and examples that make the reader understand himself better. For instance, I loved the story of an orphaned eagle that illustrates the duality of humans. Briefly, an eagle placed by a farmer in a chicken coop started to identify with the barnyard yens. After a while, a wise eagle told her to stop hiding the truth of her original nature. She awakened and rejected her false identity going through a spiritual transformation.

There is nothing I disliked about this book. It made me change my attitude and remind my goals. Rob White presented tips and repeated statements with which I managed to build my own mental kingdom and get rid of my negative feelings. I learned a lot about myself: I should not be so ignorant and emphasize my mistakes, and I should enjoy life more and appreciate myself. The author offered various interpretations, such as some inspiring lyrics of Frank Sinatra, which empowered him to handle his life regardless of the situation. Also, he gave examples from his childhood highlighting his identity and mantra.

I gladly rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it offered me a better understanding of myself, and I enjoyed reading it. The Maestro Monologue illustrated clear concepts about transformation and progress. The author addressed many engaging questions to the reader. I found it very helpful to answer them because thinking and analyzing made me rediscover my personality. I learned that I should trust myself and try to express my potential as best I can. Also, the book was well edited. I found only one minor typographical error.

I would recommend the book to people who want to reflect and understand themselves better. Also, The Maestro Monologue is perfect for those who try to overcome their emotional barriers and be the best version of themself but not for those who do not want to see themselves into a new perspective and embrace their authentic self.
