Review of The Maestro Monologue
The Maestro Monologue by Rob White is a non-fiction book that educates human beings on how to be human. It has four parts. Part one is about understanding yourself as a person, who you are and what is true about you. Part two is about accepting what is true about you and rejecting what is not. Part three guides the reader to reach their full potential. Part four, I might just say, it's about celebrating the achievements and what you have learnt throughout the book.
At the beginning of the book, the author provides extremely powerful and resourceful information without providing examples of how to go about it. This is what I liked the least about this book. Luckily, as the book progresses, this changes. In this book, the author demonstrates that a person can be anything he/she can imagine. Do you sometimes feel like you have been possessed? Does your behaviour align with who you are? How do you want the world to treat you? Do you have conflicting opinions and struggle to decide on what to do? This marvellous book answers these questions and more.
This novel includes exercises and tasks. These exercises are different in every chapter. Fortunately, they assist the reader to be who they are truly meant to be. There are no tools or equipment needed to complete these tasks except for the participant. Sometimes a pen and paper may be required.
What I liked the most is how the author insists that we should call mistakes miss-takes. He gives reasons which I found to be valid, reasonable and understandable. I liked the author's sense of humour, he made me laugh, roll on the floor until my ribs hurt. Lastly, I liked the author's ability to predict what the reader might be doing or how they might react to certain truths.
This self-help book is informative, understandable and straightforward. The author works extremely hard to assist us to transform our minds. He indicates that only if our minds are transformed can we be who we truly are without pretending or being ruled by the cruel voice in our heads. He quotes some Bible verses as a reference to add more to the information provided. Beware, the Bible is quoted like any other book, it has nothing to do with religion. Therefore, this book is suited to audiences of all major religions including non-religion. However, Christians might question the way the author interprets or uses biblical scripture.
This book is best suited to readers who seek a greater understanding of what it means to be human. The kind of readers that believe that they were born to fend, think and be true to themselves. Most importantly, they must be willing to read 554 pages. And finally, it is for the readers who want to turn their thoughts in the right direction.
The Maestro Monologue seems to have been professionally edited as I encountered only a couple of errors. There was nothing or any inconsistencies huge enough to compel me to remove a star. Therefore, I happily rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
