The Maestro Monologue by Rob White is a soul-stirring, enlightening and interesting book. Rob White offers his perspective of how our thoughts impact our lives. In two hundred and forty pages, he says how we can change our lives for the better.

Who am I? This is a fundamental question that we may ask. The author's answer is the Ultimate Understanding. The author also uses questions as tools to help us understand ourselves better. Through the power of intervention, the author directs us to change our negative thoughts. Rob introduces us to the Dynamic Trio. The Dynamic Trio consists of the rebel, the recognizer, and the revealer. The rebel says no to negative self-perception. The recognizer sees the better versions of ourselves, as the new "I Am's". The revealer acts out the better versions of ourselves.

As we experience life as the Maestro, the conductor of the inner symphony, we become our true selves. No longer acting on the "Intruder's" negative communication but acting on the new "I Am's" direction, becoming a master of the sea of our lives. Calming our thoughts, intervening against negative thoughts, and replacing them with new ideas of oneself. The Maestro Monologue is the harmony we experience internally and externally by our thoughts and actions.

There were several important and appreciable aspects of this book. Firstly, the flow of the book was excellent. The author brilliantly addressed the issue of self-awareness through thought awareness. I loved that he highlighted the importance of personal intervention at the thought level. I liked the emphasis on recognizing who I am. I thought the use of the construct called the Dynamic Trio made the book practical and relatable. I appreciated how the author incorporated the Ultimate Understanding and Critical Addendum throughout the book. I thought that the book was made cohesive and coherent through the effective use of the Ultimate Understanding and the Critical Addendum. I thought that the questions the author used as tools, to bring about awareness and effect change were important. I loved the title and illustration of the book. A picture is indeed like a thousand words.

For me, there were no major negatives. There were one or two areas where I would have replaced one or two words but that is just a matter of choice.

I found that the book was professionally edited.

I gave a 4 out of 4 rating to the book. I gave that rating because the book was well written. I found that the book had a lot of information that may be useful. I think the author's perspective was communicated.

I think this is suitable for a large audience. If you like self-help books, you may find this one to be an excellent choice.

I don't read self-help books that often, but I am curious about the author's line of thought. Think I'll keep this is mind.
Thank you for a wonderful review!
